RLG OFFERS PRESERVATION MICROFILMING WORKSHOP
Intensive three-day workshop in Ann Arbor, MI,
co-hosted by Bentley Historical Library and UMI
March 18, 1992 -- The Research Libraries Group (RLG) will sponsor a
three-day preservation microfilming workshop for library staff May 13
through 15. Entitled "Quality Assurance in Preservation Microfilming:
Implementing the RLG Guidelines," the workshop will be co-hosted by
the University of Michigan's Bentley Historical Library and UMI
(University Microfilms International). The event will take place at
the Bentley Library and at UMI's Preservation Division Facilities,
both in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The workshop will offer the preservation specialist practical,
hands-on instruction in technical aspects of preservation
microfilming. Instructors Nancy Elkington, RLG Preservation Program
Officer, and Bob Mottice, UMI Director of Quality Control, will cover
guidelines for preparation, target creation, microfilming, and
inspection of three generations of preservation microfilm. The newly
published RLG PRESERVATION MICROFILMING HANDBOOK will be the text for
the workshop.
Participants will learn how to calibrate and use microfilm inspection
equipment, assess quality attributes of preservation microfilm, and
troubleshoot and negotiate quality problems. In addition, the
instructors will suggest ways to organize quality assurance activities
in-house to achieve the best results.
Workshop tuition is $750 and includes a copy of the new RLG
handbook and instructional materials developed solely for this
course. Attendance will be limited to the first 25 registrants.
