On October 6, Sara shared her experiences and the lessons she and her fellow librarians learned in a one-hour Webinar hosted by SLA’s Emergency Preparedness and Recovery Advisory Council (EPRAC). Joining Sara as webinar presenters were Kevin Adams, an information specialist at the Institute of Environmental Science and Research in Christchurch, and Doris Helfer, chair of collection access and management services at California State University in Northridge. All three had lessons and insights to share—Kevin noted that the earthquakes hastened his library’s move toward electronic journals, and Doris explained that the safest response to a live shooter scenario is to “get out, hide out, or help out” as the situation dictates.
