“…In addition, our findings parallel those of Superio, Alayon and Oliveros (2019) and Superio, Abaday, Oliveros et al (2019), who studied academic libraries in Western Visayas and Marawi City, respectively, and Garnett et al (2018), who examined academic libraries in Australia. Across these studies, limited financial resources were identified as the primary reason for the absence of DMPs in libraries.…”

“…Lastly, the success of library disaster preparedness relies heavily on management support (Superio, Abaday, Oliveros et al, 2019;Superio, Alayon and Oliveros, 2019). Supportive management controls the necessary financial resources and personnel to establish a DMP and plays a crucial role in disaster recovery (Tweedale and Harrison, 1998).…”

Disasters, whether triggered by natural or man-made hazards, frequently threaten libraries in the Philippines. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this research involved a detailed seven-part survey that was completed by 90 head librarians or officers-in-charge across the country. The findings indicate that many libraries have experienced disasters in the past decade. Despite this, most lack adequate preparedness, with 69 operating without a disaster management plan. This lack of preparedness is attributed to constraints such as limited finances and human resources, among others, along with a perception of low disaster risk. While most libraries have implemented basic emergency protocols, such as alarm systems and emergency kits, and some have insurance and updated emergency telephone trees, these measures fall short of the comprehensive requirements for effective disaster management. The study underscores the vital importance of disaster management plans, adequate equipment, sturdy library structures and strong library networks in disaster preparedness and management. It also calls for urgent action in policy enforcement, capacity building and further research to bolster the resilience of libraries against potential disasters.

“…In the literature on the subject, one can find many articles on crisis situations in libraries, but these texts mainly pertain to natural disasters, and thus they focus on institutions in areas threatened by earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis (Superio et al, 2019). Libraries which experienced natural disasters also share their experiences (Corrigan, 2008).…”

Thesis / purpose of the article ‒ the aim of the article is to present the situation of academic libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular emphasis on the University of Warsaw Library. Method ‒ analysis of the literature, analysis of the situation of the University of Warsaw Library in March-May 2020 on the basis of unpublished reports of heads of BUW organizational units and the author’s own observations and experiences. Results / conclusions ‒ the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic and the size of the risks associated with it cannot be compared with any previous experience of academic libraries, therefore the libraries did not have ready-made procedures and procedures. The example of the University Library in Warsaw shows that in the period of lockdown and remote work, institutions were able to learn and gather valuable experience for future use.

“…Throughout history, libraries, museums and archives have experienced fire hazards that are manmade or a result of a natural disaster (Superio et al , 2019). Wildfire and lightning have destroyed some libraries (Nordling, 2021; Maher, 2018; Inklebarger, 2018).…”

Purpose This paper aims at examining the potentiality of using Hibiscus sabdariffa L. calyces’ (Hs) aqueous extract to remove soot stains from the surface of fire-damaged silver gelatin prints. It further studies the cleaning efficiency and impact of both a contact method and a noncontact method with argon dielectric barrier discharge plasma (DBD Ar. plasma) on the different properties of silver gelatin prints. Accordingly, it prompts using economic, eco-friendly materials and methods in the photograph conservation field. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the aims of this paper, four silver gelatin prints were stained with soot and treated with the (Hs) aqueous extract as a contact method and DBD Ar. plasma combined with the aqueous extract as a noncontact method. The assessment was carried out using digital microscopy, atomic force microscopy and spectrophotometer to study the efficiency of the tested treatments and their impact on the surface of the photographs. FTIR was used to monitor the state of the binder after cleaning. Furthermore, the pH and the mechanical properties were measured. Findings The contact method resulted in lower concentrations of (Hs) extract that efficiently cleaned the surface without causing any stains or damage to the treated photographs. The noncontact method (plasma with an aqueous extract) proved to be less effective in cleaning and made the binder more susceptible to deterioration. Originality/value This paper reveals the success of (Hs) aqueous extract in cleaning soot on vulnerable photographs’ surfaces.
