Hello everyone, I am writing in the hopes that someone can give me a little advice. I have just been given the assignment of creating a preservation and disaster plan for our library. Our historical collections are housed in a separate library and since this is a medical library most of our collection is in good shape. However, I would like to keep it this way and be prepared if disaster should strike. I am starting from scratch since we do not currently have any preservation or disaster plan for the books, journals and electronic resources we collect. I would eventually like to not only implement the newly created plans, but also create a web page outlining those plans with links to valuable preservation-related resources. I have already gathered numerous publications on creating preservation plans from institutions like the Library of Congress, but I would really like to get some first hand advice on what to do next. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
