Getting Your Start in Library Preservation

---

Abstract

The field of library preservation contains within it a broad range of skill sets and responsibilities. Digital files, dog-eared textbooks, rare manuscripts, and even the library building itself may all fall under the jurisdiction of the preservation librarian. With such a varied purview, it can be difficult for students or emerging professionals to enter the field. Building a well-rounded resume is a daunting task when it seems that preservationists need to know a little bit of everything.
