KLA OFFERS PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
All libraries are vulnerable to damage from disasters such as
tornadoes, fires, floods, and earthquakes. Even more often, they
sustain damage from roof leaks, plumbing malfunctions, mold and
mildew, and similar problems. Through advance planning, librarians
can not only increase their chances of recovering damaged collections,
but can also reduce the chances of such disasters even occurring.
The KLA is offering "Disaster Preparedness for Libraries," a
preconference workshop at the KLA Fall Conference. Led by Lisa Fox,
Program Development Officer for Preservation at SOLINET, this workshop
will provide an introduction to disaster preparedness issues including
planning, prevention, and recovery. Through lectures and extensive
I discussion, participants will learn:
* how to reduce the incidence and/or the effects of fire,
maintenance failure (such as plumbing or roof leaks), and other
avoidable incidents;
* what steps are involved in salvaging damaged materials;
* what commercial services are available to support a disaster
recovery effort;
* what elements should be included in a disaster plan, and how
to gather the necessary information; _
* how to sustain disaster preparedness activities.
The Disaster Preparedness Workshop will take place at the Hyatt
Regency in Lexington on October 24, 1990 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
A second workshop, "LOTUS for Librarians," will provide a basic
introduction to LOTUS 1-2-3, a spreadsheet program that has many
applications for library reports. "Hands on" experience will be
gained at the session (two people per computer). Participants are
encouraged to bring actual statistics for creating reports. Though
the workshop is for inexperienced LOTUS users, basic computer keyboard
knowledge is required.
Led by Martha Birchfield, Head Librarian, and Kathleen
Richardson, Technical Services Librarian of the Lexington Community
College, the LOTUS workshop will take place in Room 247 of the Maloney
· Building at LCC on October 24, 1990 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Registration for both workshops can be made through the KLA Fall
I Conference Registration packet. The cost per session is $40.00 for
members and $50.00 for non—members.

LIBRARY LAUNCHES FUND DRIVE
The "Challenge for the '90s Campaign," is underway to raise funds for
humanities literature and publications. The goal of the campaign is
to raise $3 million by July 1992. This includes a matching grant from
the National Endowment for the Humanities which will provide matching
funds of $1 for every $3 the library raises. Toyota Motor
Manufacturing, USA Inc. has also donated $1 million, bringing the
actual amount needed to be raised to $1,250,000. Private donations,
mailing campaigns, and a book auction will all be targeted toward
meeting the goal.
NEW APPOINTMENT
Paul LeVeque, Director of the Office of Instructional Resources, has
been appointed to the office of Vice—Chair (Chair—Elect) of the
National University Teleconference Network's (NUTN) program resources
group. Among other tasks, the program resources group provides
consulting services to those who need advice in originating video
conferences.
PATS ON THE BACK
The following letters of commendation were received recently.
"A Student" dropped this one in the Suggestion Box:
"I just want to say thanks to all the friendly,
courteous personnel in this library, with special kudos to
the folks at the reference desk. You all make a fine
effort to help us students work around the deficiencies of
the facility, and you are really patient with us!"
From Susan H. Hodgetts, Director, RGS Communications and
Advancement came this letter to John Mitchell of Photographic Services:
"we have been generating a lot of publications
recently and have been using Ken Goad almost exclusively.
As I have mentioned to you before, Ken is consistently
conscientious and helpful in trying to create the type of
photograph we are seeking and we always know that he will
work very hard to accomplish what is needed.
On one of our publications we need to have a
photograph retaken and then a 24 hour turn—around on having
the photo in hand. Ken delivered —— as always. On the
same publication we discovered we were missing a photograph
and had to have him take it the day we called. He did. In
fact, once the contact sheet was ready, we indicated which
one we wanted and then were able to wait a matter of
minutes for it to be printed and given to us. Now that's
serviceil
Also, Joyce [Moore] and Jody [Maggard] have been very
_ helpful in seeing that we get the photographs quickly ——
looking up contact sheets, taking photo requests over the
phone -- and, generally, helping us when needed.
I appreciate the good service, John. It has meant a
lot to us over the years and continues to be greatly
valued."

MINORITY RECRUITMENT FOR RESEARCH LIBRARIANSHIP
/ The following letter was received from James F. Williams, II, Dean of
U Libraries at the University of Colorado at Boulder:
"As some of you may know, I have urged ARL to establish a Task
Force on Minority Recruitment. The work of that Task Force will
focus on the generation of ideas and advice to the Association
on efforts to address the problem of underrepresentation of
racial and ethnic minorities in the professional ranks of
research librarianship. In the meantime, I am writing to you in
the form of an appeal to assist this effort through your own
sense of personal responsibility., I would like to suggest a
range of strategies in this regard:
1. Use your influence on ALA, ARL and ACRL to support
existing affirmative action recruitment programs and
efforts;
2. Talk with academic advisors on your campus about
careers in research librarianship;
3. Talk with library school deans about your interest in
this area, and offer your assistance in recruitment
activities;
4. Hold meetings with your minority student assistants
and staff and discuss research librarianship as a
possible career choice;
5. Talk with minority student organizations on campus
about careers in research librarianship;
6. Request an audience with the minority staff members in
public libraries to discuss careers in research
librarianship;
7. If you have an athletic program on campus that
supports athletic scholarships focused on minorities,
work with the athletic program and the office of
financial aid to develop a buddy program: this program
would identify a friend of the athlete who is not
interested in athletics, but someone who would like to
attend college (and perhaps work in the library);
8. Establish minority internships for new library school
graduates in your library;
9. Request new positions for your professional roster,
designated for minority hires;
10. If you institution is near a library school, establish
a research assistantship in your library, designated
for a minority.
These are but a few of the strategies which, in combination
with other efforts, could make a significant impact on the
number of racial and ethnic minorities that are represented in
our libraries. At the very least, I would like your commitment
to talk with a library school dean about this issue, with an
offer to assist the recruitment effort. And, as a member of the
ARL Task Force, I would appreciate your suggestions, insights,
testimonials, etc on this critical topic.
Thank you for your consideration."
