Participant Feedback

"This course was exactly what we need to improve our rather small Collection and take it to another step. Thanks for all of the ideas and information. I am especially impressed with how well the course is organized and presented online. The site was very well thought out and presented no problems for me - a slightly challenged computer geek-wanna be."

"This was a marvelous course and now I have confidence that I can do the work: material to reference and people to communicate with as needed."

"I just wanted to say thank you for having this course. It has really helped me decide what direction I want to make my education in and had definitely helped me with some of the smaller preservation jobs I take on at the library."
