Five-Year Preservation/Conservation Plans

["Robert J. Milevski" <milevski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to hear from anyone via the list or offline regarding whether
they have a five-(or four- or three-)year plan for preservation or
conservation in their units.  

We do not have such a document here but we do see the utility and advantage
of one, especially with regard to activities such as budget and
resource/staff management and rare books and special collections
conservation.  When one's unit is sufficiently organized, planning ahead for
collections-based projects with subject collections in the general stack
materials is also feasible and doable.  A 5-year plan  should also work for
programmatic activities.  

So, anyone out there care to share their experiences?
