Disaster Response and Planning For Libraries

By Miriam B. Kahn

Book Overview

With their vast, often irreplaceable holdings of books and journals, audio and video tapes, CD-ROMS and computers, libraries are particularly vulnerable to disasters of all types. Whether, fire, flood, tornado or earthquake, disasters can not only damage equipment and bring services to a grinding halt, they can also destroy collections built over scores of years. Librarians simply cannot afford to be caught off guard.
