The CARLI Preservation Committee invites you to attend the webinar Incoming Library Collections: A Unified Approach to Newly Acquired Material, presented by Tonia Grafakos on Tuesday, April 20, at 10:00 AM CDT. More information is below.
New collections come from a variety of sources. Whether a gift, donation, or acquisition, all incoming materials present challenges to libraries. Collections are often varied and are rarely comprised of one type of material. Their history may not be entirely known to the donor. Curators may not be aware of physical or technology related issues within a collection. Library staff in different departments each have their own sets of questions regarding incoming material. This presentation will review how one institution unified its process for incoming collections. Special attention will be paid to preservation issues relating to incoming collections.
Tonia Grafakos is the Marie A. Quinlan Director of Preservation at Northwestern University Libraries. She is a Professional Associate member of the American Institute for Conservation and earned an MSIS with an Advanced Certificate in Conservation from the University of Texas at Austin.
