| Abstract: | Increasingly, economic, political and human crises, along with natural disasters, constitute a recurrent reality around the world. The effect of large-scale disaster and economic disruption are being felt far and wide and impacting libraries in diverse ways. Libraries are casualties of natural disasters, from earthquakes to hurricanes, as well as civil unrest and wars. Sudden cuts in library budgets have resulted in severe staff reductions, privatization and even closures. The presenters share their experiences about how they have prepared for or coped with profound change. |
| Description: | This oral presentation was based on the conference paper: Rebuild of Christchurch: supporting resilient staff while responding with reimaged services and resourcing opportunities authored by Carol Brandenburg, Aurelia Arona, Haneta Pierce, Tania Nutira, Terrisa Goldsmith plus other presentations created by Carolyn Robertson. It was then co-presented by the two authors at the American Library Association annual conference 2012, Anaheim, California 23 June 2012, USA, as part of the International Relations Round Table programme: Expecting the unexpected: Libraries respond to profound change - international papers & projects session. |
