WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Do you have a collections move on the horizon? It is never too early to prepare for such a project! Moving a collection is a significant undertaking, whether you are moving circulating collections or special collections, large or small. Even if you do not have a move on the horizon, there is a good chance that at some point in your library career you will be asked to assist with or manage a collections move.

This workshop will prepare you to plan and implement a move; content is appropriate for librarians from public, private and academic institutions. Take away materials, including a bibliography and move planning templates will be provided. You will learn about best practices from a library relocation specialist who is an expert in her field and hear from librarians who have recently completed moves who will share practical advice and lessons learned.
