[PADG:408] Re: Institutional Membership to Professional Organizations

[Yvonne Carignan <carignan@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Stefanie,

Membership in the ALA/ALCTS/Preservation and Reformatting Section might 
also be of interest to you.  See the various discussion group offerings 
at 
http://www.ala.org/ALCTSTemplate.cfm?Section=alctssectionscont&Template=/TaggedPage/TaggedPageDisplay.cfm&TPLID=16&ContentID=7993

If training is what you are after, because of your location, you might 
also look at SOLINET's preservation training if you have not done so 
already.  See their website at 
http://www.solinet.net/preservation/preservation_home.cfm

Still another thought is to check with Don Etherington (Etherington 
Conservation Center) who will design training programs for conservation 
technicians.  See his website at http://www.donetherington.com/

Good luck,

Yvonne
