["Sarah Talley" <stalley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ARMA Chapter in Michelle's region should be able to put her in touch with a qualified person nearby.

The chapter list is available at http://www.arma.org/chapters/.

Dear Colleagues:

...

At the recent ALA annual conference, I attended a number of session
organized by the ALCTS, at which information specialists in
preservation
and archiving from University Libraries in the USA, made very
informed
and exciting presentations. 

I was hoping that through these contacts established by the ALA, I
could
obtain some assistance to identify a suitable consultant to advise us
on
an archiving  project we are about to undertake, by either passing
this
information on, or providing us with information on individuals we
may
be able to contact. The outline for the projects and terms of
reference
are as follows:

Archiving Project


Terms of reference

To review library holdings of Seabed Committee, UNCLOS III, PrepCom
and
ISA documentation, evaluate requirements for archiving and
publication
on electronic mass storage media and advise the Authority on the
most
appropriate media, make recommendations as to search and indexing
features, design a project, including staffing and equipment
requirements and costings, for the systematic conversion of relevant
documentation on to electronic mass storage media and subsequent
publication on CD-ROM, DVD, or other appropriate technologies, and
prepare request for proposal documentation for potential vendors
 
Approximate duration: 10 days

Covers costs, airfare, fees.

Period required: Earliest available date (We were initially hoping
to
have this done for October 1999)

All applications must be accompanied by a resume. I can be contacted
for
further details.

Looking forward to your response.

Sincerely
Michelle
