Sommario/riassunto

Im Juli 2003 fand in Berlin eine Tagung statt, die den Vorkehrungen gewidmet war, die Bibliotheken zum Katastrophenschutz treffen können, sowohl Katastrophen, die von Menschenhand ausgelöst werden (Konflikte, Kriege) als auch Naturkatastrophen (Erdbeben, Überschwemmungen, Orkane). Ein Gremium internationaler Experten tauschte Erfahrungen aus und diskutierte beispielsweise Planungsmaßnahmen, Verhaltensstrategien, Schulungsanforderungen sowie institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen. Dieser Band enthält die



Beiträge zu dieser Tagung.

In July 2003 a special IFLA conference was held in Berlin, devoted to the preparedness of library collections in the face of 'man made' disasters (conflict, war) and/or natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes). A panel of international experts discussed these issues and exchanged views. Papers focused on both national policy planning and on the institutional level, with an emphasis on what has been shown to work on the basis of practical experience in libraries and other sectors: In addition, case studies, on a worldwide scale, are presented. This book contains the proceedings of that conference.
