--- ARSC PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP 2010 ---

The 2010 ARSC Conference, in New Orleans, Louisiana, kicks off Wednesday May
19 with a workshop on Disaster Planning and Recovery for Audio Materials.

Morning sessions include a discussion on lessons learned from Hurricane
Katrina, a presentation on choosing vendors for recovery work, and a lively
role-play debate between collection managers and cost-conscious
administrators.

In the afternoon session, participants will get their hands dirty learning
basic triage and assessment of damaged audio media, equipment, and related
materials.

More information about the ARSC Pre-Conference Workshop will be forthcoming
in the next few weeks.

Questions about the workshop should be directed to Karen Fishman
(kfishman at loc.gov) or Aaron Bittel (ambittel at arts.ucla.edu), ARSC Education
and Training Committee Co-Chairs.
