Monday Session #5

Managing the Past; or, Old Wine: Is It Still Any Good?

Monday, May 26, 2003
4:00 - 5:30 pm

This Panel will be relevant to people working in all types of libraries. The panelists will discuss the nature of Special Collections and what we need to know to help us work with, use, identify and treat this material, as well as to understand the microfilming/digitizing issues involving this material. For purposes of this discussion, Special Collections will be defined as including library materials which, by virtue of their physical form or condition, publication date, value (monetarily or to the organization), content, physical publication specifics, importance or rarity, may be distinguished from the general library collection with respect to retention, physical treatment, preservation, circulation, cataloguing, acquisitions and location policies.
