LIBRARY COLLECTIONS DISASTER TEAM
CHARGE
The Library Collections Disaster Team is chaired by the Preservation
Administrator and reports to the Director of Information Resources,
Collections and Scholarly Communication.
The Team:
- Is responsible for keeping
the "Disaster Response Plan for Library Collections" and
individual unit plans current.
- Revises, as needed, the
Annual Disaster Prevention Checklist sent to Libraries units, reviews the
responses received, and makes recommendations to
further disaster prevention.
- Helps keep staff informed of
matters related to disaster preparedness including awareness of disaster
response procedures, provides training as needed, and, in the case of a
disaster, keeps the staff informed of the status of the response.
- Coordinates with other
library and university committees and units as appropriate.
- Coordinates responses to
disasters (water, fire, volcanic eruption, earthquakes, etc.) that damage
library materials.
The team meets as necessary, but at least quarterly to review the plan and
matters relating to the disaster preparedness for the University Libraries
collection. After a disaster, the Team revises the Disaster Response Plan as
needed.
