Library Collections - Environmental Monitoring: Webinar (01/19/17) 

Providing an optimal climate in storage rooms and exhibits is a foundational concern in collections care. Executing a comprehensive environmental monitoring program provides the data necessary to plan climate control interventions for preservation. Often building systems themselves are not reliable enough to monitor the storage environment.  

This one-hour webinar will cover independent monitoring equipment and basic data analysis.

Virtual Trainer: Frances Harrell, NEDCC Preservation Specialist 

Frances Harrell conducts general preservation needs assessments and  represents NEDCC on the COSTEP MA Executive Committee. She has a strong interest in disaster planning and emergency response and recovery, as well as the preservation planning challenges facing smaller collecting institutions. She received an MLIS from Simmons College GSLIS and a BA in English Literature from the University of Florida, and has worked in both development and collections management.

This is an online class. Access information will be emailed one week ahead.

Cost: NEFLIN classes are free of charge for Florida library staff. Registration is required for all classes and NEFLIN members get priority.
