     HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS:  MAKING SURE YOUR INSTITUTION SURVIVES THE BIG
     ONE will be taught on Thursday, October 24 at the University of South
     Florida in Tampa.  As we approach the end of this year's hurricane
     season, thoughts turn to preparing for next year.  This one day
     workshop focuses on the steps a library, archives or museum can take
     to minimize the devastating damage that can be caused by a hurricane.
     The workshop will cover the nature of hurricanes, preparedness issues,
     recovery after the storm, and making your institution more storm
     proof.  Dr. Michael Trinkley, Director of Chicora Foundation, will
     provide information to help increase your institution's chances of
     survival and minimize damage during a hurricane.  The workshop runs
     from 9 AM to 4 PM; cost is $85 for SOLINET members and $125 for
     non-members.
 
     DIGITAL IMAGING: PRESERVATION ISSUES will be held Wednesday, November
     20 at SOLINET in Atlanta, GA. Institutions face an enormous challenge
     as they grapple with the commitment to preserve and provide access to
     information in a wide variety of formats.  The increase in digital
     imaging projects for library and archival collections raises many
     issues related to selection, resource allocation and long-term access
     (preservation).  This one day workshop will provide an introduction to
     digital image technology and the issues an institution must thoroughly
     examine before undertaking a digital imaging project. The session will
     run from 9 AM to 4 PM; cost is $85 for SOLINET members and $125 for
     non-members.
