I have had a request to emphasize the date of the SEAALL Institute,
which apparently wasn't on my first email. That is the reason for this
resending. Please pardon the duplication.
Thanks, Everyone.

SEAALL Institute
April 6, 2006
Prepare for the Worst, Hope for the Best: Disaster Preparedness and
Recovery for Law Libraries
This Institute will address a topic of interest to all
SEAALL members. The effects of the most recent hurricanes damaged all
types of libraries and IT centers in the region.
Disasters can range from plumbing leaks to broken water pipes to major
catastrophes, such as hurricanes and fires. Besides natural disasters,
none of us today can remain unaware of the dangers libraries face from
threats of terrorism in all forms. Almost every year, librarians and IT
staff cope with many types of severe disasters, both natural and
manmade. For many managers involved in a disaster, good disaster
planning made it possible to get their IT centers and libraries back
into operation.
This Institute will cover risk assessment for IT centers and libraries,
disaster preparedness strategies, and disaster recovery. During the
workshop, the participants will hear from experts and be involved in
group activities. Attendees will also hear from a panel of librarians
and IT staff who have responded to disasters. Everyone will receive a
bibliography of articles, books, and sample disaster plans.
Time invested in the Institute will help librarians and staff return to
their institutions to write and implement a disaster plan. If your
library or IT center suffers a disaster, you will be ready with
information that should help achieve the best possible outcome.
The Institute has been generously underwritten by Thomson - West.
