     Is your institution prepared for fire or water damage?  Learn how
     to plan and cope with a disaster -- attend the SOLINET workshop
     on DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND RECOVERY, on Friday, December 8th at
     the Metropolitan Government Archives in Nashville.

     This workshop will provide the training necessary to plan,
     organize and execute a disaster plan and a salvage operation.  In
     addition to in-depth discussion on the disaster planning process,
     there will be demonstrations of salvage techniques including
     air-drying books, separating and drying manuscripts, rinsing
     books, and drying photographic materials.  The course is designed
     for staff members interested in or responsible for organizing and
     implementing institutional or cooperative disaster preparedness
     and response procedures.

     The workshop will run from 9 AM to 4 PM, and will be conducted by
     Christine Wiseman and Sharla Richards, SOLINET's Preservation
     Field Service Officers.  Cost for the workshop is $85 for SOLINET
     members, and $125 for non-SOLINET members and FEDLINK.  Those who
     register before November 17th will receive a $10 discount.  Any
     institution within Tennessee qualifies for the member rate.

     Contact Steve Eberhardt at 1-800-999-8558 ext. 285 for further
     information or to register.
