Integrated Pest Management

May 20-21, 1999

Presented by the Upper Midwest Conservation Association

The Workshop:

    Integrated pest management is a strategic approach to

well-known IPM specialists, Tom Strang of the Canadian
Conservation Institute and Wendy Jessup, IPM consultant and
conservator in private practice.

librarians, archivists, conservators, and facilities
managers.
