Preservation Specialist Announced

I am pleased to announce that Helen Bailey started on July 19 as Preservation Specialist. In this role she will be responsible for assisting with work related to digital preservation and digital pre-production; she will also represent the department in TeCOR, serve as department web-master, and handle non-book media.

Helen may be familiar to many of you in her role as conservation intern for the department while she completed degree requirements from the School of Information, at the University of Texas at Austin. She comes to us with a solid background in preservation theory and practice as well as a strong IT background.

Please join me and the rest of Preservation Services staff in welcoming Helen as a member of the Dartmouth College Library.

Barb Sagraves
Head, Preservation Services
