document.write(''); Home About us Collection care print ... What's New Activities and Planning Introduction Planning Key performance indicators Skills and training ... Collection security Introduction Collection Care activities fall into several categories. The main tasks are to balance interventive and preventive preservation and ensure that the funding for conservation is well spent. Storage planning work relates to ensuring that collection items are stored in the most appropriate location taking into account factors including value, level of environmental conditions required and the frequency with which an item is likely to be consulted. Other activities such as ownership marking, pressmarking and labelling and placing ensure the security of the collection and help provide access to it. The British Library’s Preservation Board meets annually to decide on the prioritisation and funding of the programmes for conservation. Each collection area bids for studio time and resources. The Corporate Storage Group meets quarterly to act as a forum for developing storage strategy, longer term planning as well as specific ways of managing stock to provide optimum services. This work feeds into the business plan bidding process. Staff are also involved in activities designed to augment the day to day conservation, preservation and collection storage work, to ensure that the Department is able to respond to new challenges and keep the necessary skills base. These activities are detailed in the Annual Business Plan.
