Inexpensive PALMCOP Workshop: Phase Box

PALMCOP Phase Box Workshop
August 5, 2010
11:30-2:30

A terrific workshop for the cost of lunch!  Save money on book preservation as well!! 

This workshop will teach attendees to make simple, economical, and preservation-quality protective housing for fragile and damaged books. The session will focus on techniques that do not require expensive equipment and supplies and can be performed successfully after a short training period.  In other words, just the type of training that will be of greatest benefit to our hard-pressed organizations!

Audience: Space is limited to 12 people and no prior training is needed.

Cost: The fee is $10 to cover the cost of lunch, which will be provided; the workshop is free.

[I’m sending my assistant, Charmaine, to learn how to create these cost effective but very important containers for disintegrating bound materials.  Your institution will get fantastic returns on its investment!]  — gmc
