Palau Community College

The Palau Association of Libraries, in partnership with the Palau Public Library, Belau National Museum, and Palau Community College, will assess the state of the collections in institutions across Palau. This will be accomplished in five steps: develop an Assessing Collections Task Force composed of key staff across the Republic of Palau; schedule onsite visits to evaluate the state of collections and assess needs for training or equipment; produce a report on the state of Palau’s libraries and heritage collections; share results at the 2010 Pacific Islands Association of Libraries, Archives, and Museums Conference; and plan a republic-wide Conservation and Disaster Planning Conference based on the needs assessment from the site visits.
