Environmental Monitoring Workshop from California Preservation Program

Environmental Monitoring to Preserve Collections and Save Energy!

September 5, 2012 – California State University, Sacramento Library – 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
September 7, 2012 – California State University, Dominguez Hills Library – 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Workshop instructor: James M. Reilly, Director, Image Permanence Institute
This one-day program will explore new approaches to controlling environmental conditions in cultural institutions. A leading expert in the field, Reilly will present physically and financially feasible environmental control strategies to help institutions preserve collections materials for the long-term.

After a short introduction to essential concepts describing the relationships among temperature, relative humidity and collection preservation, attendees will learn how to read and interpret data from PEM2s* and other dataloggers; how to use eClimate Notebook**; and how to practically apply that knowledge – to optimize conditions to maximize service lives of collections, and to minimize energy consumption by heating, ventilating, and cooling (HVAC) systems while achieving satisfactory environmental conditions.

Topics covered will include:

• The Collections Environment
• Understanding the Building/Climate Relationship
• Environmental Monitoring and Data Analysis
• New Approaches and Best Practices for Environmental Control

LAPNet List of Disaster Supplies

It’s back!  Our ever-popular disaster supply list has been reorganized into two handy lists.   The lists are designed for use with a library disaster preparedness and collection salvage plan.  List One is organized alphabetically by product or service so you can easily scan the list and find exactly what you need.  List Two is alphabetical by vendor name.   All services and vendor contact information have been confirmed as of October 2011.   IMPORTANT NOTE: Inclusion in the List is NOT an endorsement of a vendor by LAPNet. Many vendors of good repute not listed may also offer the same supplies and services.
