************************************************************************

The ?Protecting Library & Archive Collections? workshops are presented 
in a 2-part sequence to produce the following outcomes for disaster 
preparedness activities:

    * Complete a disaster plan by the end of Part 2.
    * Learn how to train staff to implement your plan effectively.
    * Set pre- and post-disaster action priorities for your collections.
    * Learn how to use practical decision-making skills during an
      emergency.
    * Experience salvage procedures for books, documents, and non-print
      media.

The workshop days are scheduled 4 weeks apart. Participants will prepare 
short assignments prior to the first session; between sessions, they 
will undertake additional assignments resulting in a completed disaster 
plan at the end of Part 2. Upon completion, the institution will be 
invited to join an informal network of WESTPAS trained personnel to 
provide mutual aid in the event of emergencies involving collections in 
the region.

*Who should attend*: Administrators and staff responsible for emergency 
preparedness, response and decision-making, in all types of libraries 
and archives. By registering for the workshop, the institution commits 
to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the workshop's disaster 
preparedness goals. When possible, please send two attendees from a 
library or archive so they can work together on the disaster 
preparedness activities.

*Cost*: No charge to the institution. Funding provided by the National 
Endowment for the Humanities. Co-sponsored by the California State 
Library & California State Archives.

"There is no such thing as a self-made (wo)man. We are made up of
thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or
spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the makeup of
our character and our thoughts, as well as our success."
