Network (SOLINET).
Librarians, do you know how to make your books and materials last
as long as your patrons need them? Do you want to learn how to
stretch the value of your materials budget over a longer period?
Plan to attend
Caring For Your High-Use Collections,
a SOLINET workshop hosted by the Central Florida Library
Consortium in Maitland, Florida, on Monday, September 25, 1995.
This workshop is designed for public, school and college
librarians, and will discuss approaches and techniques to help
you keep your collections in usable condition longer. Topics to
be covered include preservation as a management tool, the
environment, fostering good attitudes about books, teaching
proper handling to staff and public, treatment options, and
decision-making (what to preserve, what to leave alone). The
course will be conducted by Robert DeCandido, Head of Shelf and
Binding Preparation Office, Preservation Divisions, The New York
Public Library.
The session will run from 9 am to 4 pm, at a cost of $85 SOLINET
members, $90 FEDLINK, and $125 non-SOLINET members. A $10
discount is offered if you register before September 4th.
Contact Steve Eberhardt of SOLINET, 1-800-999-8558 ext 285, for
further information or to register.
