2. Preservation Consultant To Visit IUB Libraries
Preservation Consultant to Visit IUB Libraries in January 1999
With the advent of major institutional changes, including renovation and ALF planning as well as the inauguration of the digital library, it is an auspicious time to re-examine the role and functions of our Preservation Department in the context of the Indiana University Bloomington Libraries' mission and goals. To this end, the IUB Libraries have invited Paul Conway, Head of the Preservation Department at Yale University, to conduct an on-site evaluation of the preservation and conservation operations in both the Main Library and Lilly Library, January 11-13, 1999.
Paul was selected after consultation with the Council on Library & Information Resources (CLIR) and other national experts, also with the endorsement of both Lorraine Olley and Lisa Browar. However, he is no stranger to Indiana University, having received his BA in History here in 1975, before moving on the the University of Michigan where he completed an MA in History (and the administration of archives) in 1980 and his PhD in Information and Library Studies in 1991. Paul is a recognized expert on a wide array of perservation issues in the digital environment and serves frequently as a lecturer and instructor.
If you would like additional information about Paul's consultation, please contact Martha Brogan, Director of Collection Development & University Bibliographer (855-3406; mbrogan@indiana.edu). We are in the process of arranging his appointment schedule now. He is expected to submit a final report to the IUB Libraries by the end of January 1999.
