Fire and water, elemental realities, potential disasters. This information-packed instructional tape recognizes the dangers of natural disaster, and the incredible toll they can take on a library's holdings. At the same time, the tape points out that a library can save substantial amounts of money and time if they are prepared. Richard F. Young, conservation specialist for the U.S. Senate is the author of this hard-hitting video. The specifics of a disaster preparedness plan are outlined, as well as a detailed discussion and demonstration of the various preservation methods. Questions concerning the handling of damaged books, photographs, and microfilm are covered in detail. In addition, an informative 17-page manual is included. This program is highly recommended, and could save you and your patrons a lot in the long run. (See Caldecott at Fifty for availability.)
