Security Alert! How to Protect People, Property, and Collections (Jul 29-30, 10 AM to Noon, Live Online)
This online class will teach you the basics in securing your institution’s collections and safeguarding its people. We will start with how to conduct a security survey and an internal security audit. We will discuss ways to handle threats, violence, and the destruction of property. Other topics covered include special collections materials, building layout, security during disasters, electronic and data security, security during construction and renovation, protecting materials when they leave the building, opening and closing procedures, and issues specific to working with students and the public. We will end with practical ways that you can staff a security program and developing security policies that will reduce risk of theft, damage and harm to your institution’s property and people.

e-Resource Wrangling: An Introduction to ERMS (Jul 29, 10 AM-Noon, Live Online)
Although electronic resources have been providing content in libraries for decades, they have been notoriously hard to manage effectively. Today, ERMS (Electronic Resource Management Systems) provides an integrated tool to help libraries deal with digital resources throughout their life cycle: from trial and acquisition, to tracking, to assessment. This two-hour online class is a basic introduction to ERMS, its capabilities and its limitations.

Open Source: Free as in Free (Jul 31, 2 PM – 4 PM)
This class overviews the open source movement, including what makes software open source, the pros and cons of using open source, and other libraries’ open source solutions.

You might be using Open Source Software and not even know it.  This class covers the following:
-Overview of open source
-Why it is important to know about open source
-Pros and cons of open source
-What open source products some libraries are using

Developing a Disaster Plan (Live Online)

SOLINET is offering a live online class on developing a disaster plan. The audience is for staff members responsible for organizing, writing, and implementing an institution-wide disaster-preparedness plan in academic, public, and special libraries, archives, and historical societies.

Here is the description:

To prevent unnecessary loss of materials, institutions need knowledgeable staff and written plans for dealing with emergency situations so that fewer disasters occur and damage is minimized. Disaster planning requires the support and commitment of staff from many departments, including facilities and fiscal affairs. Plan preparation is more successful and effective when undertaken by a committee with staff representatives from across the institution.

This web-based class is designed to support the work of an institution’s disaster planning committee. Homework assignments will require input and support from a variety of staff members. Taught in three two-hour sessions over the course of six weeks, it guides participants through the development of a written disaster plan. The modules cover establishment of a planning structure, information gathering, including risk assessment and resource list development, setting recovery priorities, an overview of recovery procedures, plan development, and working with disaster recovery vendors. Participants are invited to submit their completed plans for review.
