The 22nd Preservation Forum on Library Disaster Preparedness and Recovery

1 December 2011

Considering the many recent disasters, the National Diet Library will hold a forum on library disaster preparedness and recovery on Thursday, 1 December. As part of the IFLA/PAC(*) Regional Centre for Asia Activities, they have invited preservation specialists from three IFLA/PAC centres in the Asia-Oceania region: the National Library of Australia (NLA), the National Library of China, and the National Library of Korea.

Jennifer Lloyd, Manager of Preservation Services, National Library of Australia, will give a lecture on the NLA’s disaster preparedness, experiences in disaster recovery and a cooperative disaster network.

This forum will be a good opportunity to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation on preservation issues among IFLA/PAC Centres in the Asia-Oceania region.

*IFLA/PAC:
IFLA/PAC, or the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, Core Activity on Preservation and Consevation, is one of the six Core Activities developed by the IFLA dealing with important issues for libraries worldwide.
