Last summer a Disaster Planning and Preservation workshop for libraries and archives was held at two different sites in Idaho. The Idaho Commission for Libraries is once again collaborating with the Western States Preservation Assistance Service (WESTPAS) to offer this workshop at one site in Idaho. Attached is the workshop flyer which provides the details regarding dates and location.
As a result of this workshop, participants will prepare a disaster plan for their library, as well as gain a wealth of information regarding resources for when a disaster strikes and preservation techniques for various library materials.
Last year’s participants indicated on their post evaluations that they found this session valuable, gaining insight into
1. How to immediately respond to protect people, buildings, and collections.
2. How to implement the disaster plan.
3. How to assess damage to collections
4. How to establish and maintain communication channels during an emergency
5. How to assess a library’s vulnerability for collection loss or damage
6. How to train staff in emergency response procedures and collections.
Please check out the flyer and register today at http://tinyurl.com/bkfc44
It is a two-part training, with workshop sessions on August 5, 2009 and September 18, 2009. Both sessions will be held at the Idaho Commission for Libraries in Boise. While the workshop is free, participants will be responsible for their own travel and lodging.

Libraries as Learning Organizations
The Idaho Commission for Libraries held its first online conference on May 14 - Libraries = Learning Organizations. Thirty-five people from throughout Idaho gathered virtually to begin the discussion about learning organizations and how that might apply to their libraries. It was a robust conversation, creating lots of enthusiasm and excitement. Archives, powerpoints, and bibliography
Then earlier this week, I attended the WebJunction Webinar "Libraries as Learning Organizations". Four panelists talked about how their libraries -- Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, Pierce County Library, and Denver Public Library -- have started their journey toward becoming a learning organization and what that means within their organizations. Content and archives
One term that I really liked and will start using is "learning champions." Denver Public Library has some great strategies for "growing learning champions."
I challenge you to discover the learning champions within your organization!
