>We are in the throes of trying to upgrade our disaster plan.

>I should very much appreciate comments from any art museum librarians
>who have sophisticated disaster plans. Copies of plans would be
>wonderful but I realize that some institutions prefer to keep them
>confidential.

>I have had tremendous help from our Conservation Department, who
>supervise the general disaster plan, but I am now working on criteria
>and lists for prioritizing items for rescue and/or salvage. It is easy
>enough to come up with broad criteria for rescue/salvage but a list of
>individual titles is harder. I have made numerous attempts to produce
>such a list but with rather unsatisfactory results and have come up with
>a number of questions.
>
>Do other libraries have lists?
>Are items listed by individual title or category?
>How many items are listed?
>What types of items are listed?
>Are listed items scattered all over the library or in close proximity to
>each other, or grouped?
>
>Many thanks to anyone out there who can help.
