Please join us for the joint RBMS, ARTS, and PARS program:

Action! Setting Preservation Priorities and Ensuring Access to Your Moving Image Collections

Do your collections include film or other moving image materials? Have you wondered how to assess and prioritize moving image preservation efforts at your institution? This practical program will cover available surveying tools, current preservation approaches, and reformatting options that will help you get the job done. Clips illustrating recent preservation projects will be shown, so bring your popcorn! Please join us for this ALA Annual Program sponsored by the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS), Arts Section (ARTS) and Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS).  The Leab Exhibition Award presentation will take place at the conclusion of the program, from 3-3:30.
