What Every Library Needs - Preservation!
Register Now for Preservation Conference, June 4-5
Every library needs to preserve its physical collection. But how? And what do you need to know? Where do you go for help when you need expert help?
On June 4-5, 2009, MLC is offering a one-time-only Preservation Conference, “Who Are You Going to Call?” at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing, Michigan. This two-day conference features ten experienced speakers and focuses on library-vendor partnerships on preservation projects. In addition to the presentations and dinner and luncheon speakers, the conference includes a vendor breakfast and exhibits, with ample opportunities to talk with the vendor reps.
