[Michlib-l] Just Added!! Risk Management & Disaster Recovery Special Program

[Heather Thomas]

Excuse duplicate postings. Please forward to anyone that you believe would 
be interested in attending this program!
***********************************************************

Both natural and human generated disasters regularly plague our libraries. 
Mitigating damage is an ongoing process of preparation. Explore strategies 
for success and learn practical hands-on techniques in disaster management 
with internationally recognized expert Jeanne Drewes for a two, 
non-consecutive, day program on September 10, and November 8, 2013. Drewes 
serves as Chief of Binding and Collections Care at the Library of 
Congress.

On September 10, participants will tour the host facility (Delta Township 
District Library in Lansing, Michigan) with Drewes as tour guide, 
identifying strengths, weaknesses and opportunities to better prepare 
against disaster. A workshop will follow with participants engaging in 
hands-on recovery techniques. The day will conclude with an informational 
session on developing a disaster plan.

Between September 10 and next session participants will work on their 
plans. On November 8, the group will reconvene to discuss, ask questions 
and finalize their individual plans under the tutelage of Drewes. In 
addition, property insurance will be addressed.  Strengthening 
institutional buy-in, two participants from each organization are strongly 
encouraged. The same two individuals are not necessary for both sessions.

This program is part of a series brought to you by MCLS and the 
Cooperative Directors Association and is generously supported by the 
Library of Michigan and funds from the Institute of Museum and Library 
Services (IMLS).
