Participant comments:

Preparing and Mounting Materials for Exhibition
"Donia's presentation was right on - she was willing to repeat as needed and responded to individual needs. One of the best workshop I've attended recently. Great questions from participants and helpful answers."

Intermediate Book Repair
"I will be using the methods I learned to immediately repair books. We will be able to do in-house repair and get items back into circulation instead of replacing them all. I currently have a stack of about twenty items awaiting repair!"

Identification and Care of Prints
"This workshop will help me to properly identify my institution's collection of prints. I will be able to teach other members of my staff to appreciate the processes behind making prints. Our library has a number of books containing prints which no one was able to properly identify."

Metadata Basics
"I enrolled in this workshop because many of these standards came into existence after I completed library school. I wanted to get some exposure and am hoping this will help me get more involved with digital projects at my library. I think this is an essential workshop for anyone considering a digitization project."

Arrangement, Description, and Holdings Maintenance for Archives
"I now have a starting point to begin organizing our archives and possibly making the case for hiring a part-time archivist. This was very helpful!"
