Competency #5 -- Tagging/Indexing

I searched for material on LibraryThing about special collections, archives, rare books, and preservation. I found a book on archives and a book on preservation that I had to add. They both were very applicable to working in a special collections at a public library. They both are items that will help libraries accomplish sometimes challenging tasks. I plan on referencing both books as issues arise at the special collection/archive I work at.

The first item I selected was Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives: A How-To-Do-It Manual by Gregory S. Hunter. It's LibraryThing URL is http://www.librarything.com/work/46381/book/41952684
