These include, but are not limited to: preventive preservation, conservation, book repair, commercial library binding, end-processing, and reformatting paper-based materials.
- Coordinate the preservation activities of the Conservation Unit and Postcataloging Unit as integral to a well-articulated, systematic preservation program.
- In a team environment, bring preservation expertise to Penn’s emergency response and disaster preparedness programs.
- Participate in the planning and implementation of a new conservation lab for special collections in the context of a library-wide preservation program. Advise on preservation standards for other library facility and renovation projects.
- Collaborate with technology and metadata specialists, regarding standards and processes for digital preservation.
- Work closely with Penn Libraries’ facilities and operations managers to routinely monitor and review, and when necessary to remediate, environmental conditions as they affect collections.
- Identify potential sources of grant funding for preservation projects and write grant proposals. Negotiate with vendors for services and partnership opportunities.
