Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Just most recently, we have witnessed the catastrophic power of nature brought about by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng which severely damaged large quantity of properties and affected our fellow countrymen in major parts of Metro Manila and nearby provinces. The flood in particular have claimed the lives of many and spared not even the libraries.
In preparation for yet another unexpected environmental challenges in the future, the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians will conduct a Lecture-Forum on “Disaster Management in Libraries: Response and Recovery Operations for Water-related Damages" that will provide an overview of disaster management for libraries: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. Attendees will also learn how disasters can be managed through immediate and responsive actions to salvage/recover our damaged collections in order to minimize library losses, and to improve our readiness to deliver services to our user communities in the aftermath of a library disaster, and much more.
The forum will be held on November 24, 2009 at the National Library of the Philippines Auditorium, T.M. Kalaw St., Manila from 1:00 – 5:00pm. This is FREE to all active members of PAARL while P250.00 will be charged to non-members.
Thank you and we look forward to your participation.
Sincerely yours,
Christopher C. Paras
Vice-President/Chair, Conference Committee
