5.4 FLORIDA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


Preservation activities in the State of Florida are organized regionally, within the State's several library
information networks. Coordination has been provided by the State Library, through use of LSCA funds,
and by the Florida Library Association's Preservation Caucus. LSCA funded education projects over the
last seven years have funded basic preservation education workshops, repeated around the state and
organized in coordination with SOLINET's Preservation Program to present topics and teach skills from
disaster preparedness and response to environmental monitoring, and from book repair to preservation
administration.

In 1993 and 1994, a Preservation Planning Task Force of the Preservation Caucus determined that the
state's interests, needs, and preparedness for preservation were diverse and should not be organized into a
centralized statewide program. Instead, the Task Force endorsed the continued development of
preservation within the established Library Information Networks-including the Tampa Bay Consortium
(TBC), the SouthEast Florida Library Information Network (SEFLIN), and the NorthEast Florida Library
