Particular attention will be given to institutional differences among research libraries in the investment in and organization of heritage conservation, mechanisms for achieving economies of scale, the training and employment pipeline, and the role of scientific research.

“Impact: redefining the measurement of collection care”

Preservation Advisory Centre conference
British Library Conference Centre
96 Euston Road
London NW1 2DB
United Kingdom
15 February 2011

Digitisation, digital collecting, rising energy costs and the changed economic climate have prompted many organisations to re-think their approach to collection care. This one-day conference questions what we seek to achieve from collection care activities now and in the future, how these goals are communicated, and whether we have the evidence and metrics to effectively assess progress towards them.

We invite you to shape the debate. Following presentations on the
context for collection care, the role of evidence, an overview of
the impact of preservation management in libraries and examples of
methodologies in practice, the afternoon features round table
discussion sessions on two themes.

For full programme and booking details please see their website. They will be using the Twitter hashtag #impactconf
