Arrange for appropriate quantities of freezer paper and boxes to be delivered to the staging area. Geisel Library has a large supply of these materials stored near the front entrance and accessible to DRT Team Leaders and the Facilities Dept. Additional vehicle keys are kept in the locked ILL drawer. See also 24 Hr. DRT is familiar with the procedures for identifying, wrapping and packing wet materials.
Team Leaders can coordinate the packout operation.
Review the plan with the Department Head or AUL-Collections to be sure that the lists indicate top priorities and current locations. Additional volunteers should be selectively recruited with the understanding that some lifting work in wet areas may be required. Begin preparing a list of people to replace those on the first shift. Call to make arrangements for acceptance of a shipment as soon as possible after loading of boxes. Arrangements for freeze-drying will be made by the Library Business Services Office or the preservation librarian.
