The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS)
is pleased to offer Library Preservation Today!, a virtual preconference
presented by instructors from our popular "Fundamentals of Preservation"
Web course. Registration is open, so sign up early to make sure you get
a spot.
This three-day (June 16 - 18) virtual preconference introduces the
fundamentals of managing preservation efforts in libraries, archives and
historical societies. At the end of this preconference, participants
will value preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects
and supports the institutional mission; appreciate the primary role of
preventive care, including good storage conditions, in extending the
useful life of collections and understand some of the challenges in
preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future
of scholarship.
