Report to Executive Board of NCLA
Community and Junior College Section
October 18, 2002
Davidson College

The Community and Junior College Section hosted a workshop, "Library Disaster Planning," Friday, August 9, 2002 at Craven Community College in New Bern. The workshop, co-sponsored with the North Carolina Preservation Consortium (NCPC), was a big success with 35 participants representing community college libraries, pubic libraries, academic libraries, museums, historic sites, state archives, and even a law firm. Robert James, Director of Library Services at Wake Tech Community College, and representing NCPC, led the workshop in which participants were provided with an outline for creating and improving their own institutional disaster plan. Particularly helpful was the sharing of many at the workshop who have experienced a disaster and its aftermath at their workplace.

The CJC Executive Board is preparing a "fact sheet" of information of our section, highlighting past accomplishments, future plans, and promoting membership. The "fact sheet" will be finalized at our next scheduled meeting, Wednesday, October 30, Wake Technical Community College. The "fact sheet" will be mailed November 2002 to CJCS constituents throughout the state.
