Disaster Preparedness for Libraries and Archives

Are ou prepared for earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fires, blizzards, and leaks?

Most libraries and archives are not!

Do you have a library disaster plan?

Most libraries and archives do not!

To assist libraries in preparing for such disasters, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) will be conducting the emergency preparedness workshop Leaky Pipes and Broken Windows at five locations statewide. One of the sessions is scheduled to be held at WMRLS on Thursday, May 22 from 9 to 4. For complete information and/or to register for this event, contact Rachel Devin, MBLC.

STCC Library 'blog

Recently I had a look at the main page of the WMRLS one blog and saw the list of library blogs there. Our STCC Library blog was not listed and so Janet asked me to send this out to let everyone know about it's existence. We've had it for a couple of years now and all the staff are able to contribute to it. It was created and is maintained by Eric Warren our Electronic Services Coordinator. Enjoy.
