MAPS TRAINS THREE GERMAN MICROFILMERS
DUBLIN, Ohio, Oct. 23, 1992--Three staff members from Die
Deutsche Bucherei, the former national library of East
Germany, are being trained in all aspects of operating and
managing a modern micrographics laboratory during an 11-week
internship at MAPS The MicrogrAphic Preservation Service, in
Bethlehem, Pa. The training is funded by the Commission on
Preservation and Access.
The goal of the three trainees, Thomas Wachter, Veit
Kaubisch, and Anja Grubitzsch, is to organize a high-quality
preservation microfilming lab for the German National Library
(Die Deutsche Bibliothek). With the re-unification of Germany in
1990, Die Deutsche Bucherei rejoined the National Library.
Die Deutsche Bucherei, located in Leipzig, has been designated
as the site of the nation's library preservation activities.
"As the re-unified Deutsche Bibliothek faces the daunting
task of preserving its great collections, with microfilming but
one of the options being pursued, it is important that the most
modern techniques be employed," said said C. Lee Jones,
President, MAPS. "The development of the patented MAPS exposing
system, coupled with our state-of-the-art Herrmann & Kraemer
cameras, clearly represents a cutting-edge approach to
preservation microfilming."
The training program includes all aspects of a modern
micrographics laboratory including filming, processing,
duplication, quality assurance, storage, management, preservation
standards, physical arrangement, personnel, training, budgeting,
production monitoring, and equipment maintenance and repair.
"MAPS is honored to be able to share its expertise, license
use of its exposing system, and assist in the establishment of a
first-rate preservation micrographics laboratory for Die Deutsche
Bucherei," Mr. Jones said. "We are confident that the current
training program is but the first step in a long and mutually
rewarding relationship with the German National Library."
Three months after the completion of the training at MAPS,
Eileen Usovicz, MAPS operations manager, will visit the library
in Leipzig for one to two weeks to evaluate the training, assist
with its implementation, and help resolve any problems.
"In preparation for the training program seven MAPS staff
members took an intensive course in conversational German," said
Mr. Jones. "Simultaneously, the German trainees were taking
intensive courses in conversational English. After the first
week of the training program, it is clear that good progress is
being made in both communication and training."
MAPS is an OCLC-directed, high-quality preservation service
located in Bethlehem, Pa. MAPS produces microfilm and microfiche
from books, newspapers, manuscripts, broadsides, drawings,
photographs, and other print-on-paper materials for libraries,
