CHENG LIBRARY DISASTER RESPONSE PLAN

PURPOSE

The David & Lorraine Cheng Library at William Paterson University is concerned about the safety, health, and welfare of its students and staff. The campus community has support systems in place to troubleshoot emergencies, including fire, water damage, and environmental or terrorist situations. A copy of the William Paterson University of New Jersey Faculty and Staff Guide for Emergencies is available at ww2.wpunj.edu/dotAsset/235065.pdf. Cheng Library fits into the larger university system of Campus Police, Physical Plant Operations and Administrative Notifications. In situations involving a threat to both collections and individuals, individual safety will takes precedence.

The Library also upholds a mandate and ethical responsibility to safeguard the Library Collections. The aim of the Disaster Response Plan for the Library is to provide the framework and resources for the Library Team to protect the collections and develop strategies to salvage any part of the collection that is damaged in a disaster. Our goal is to help you to understand what information we need to know immediately in an emergency and what we need to do to salvage damaged materials.

The Library believes that disaster preparedness is essential for the safety and security of the collections. Appropriate disaster preparedness systems and procedures – internal and external security systems, fire detection and suppression systems, disaster response and response plans, evacuation routes, computer file backup procedures, emergency supplies, and staff training in disaster procedures – are maintained to minimize the risk of loss of collection materials in the event of a disaster.

The staff plays a primary role in the response to and recovery from an emergency situation. All staff members who are physically able may be asked for service during an emergency. The Disaster Response Plan serves as a guide and training tool for staff to deal with damaged materials.

FIRST RESPONSE

Campus police should be contacted first for all emergencies, including medical, fire, power failure or water in the building at 973.720.2300 (x2300 from campus phones). It is important to note that a 911 call from a cell phone on campus will reach the Wayne Police Department and will be redirected to Campus Police. Given a choice, please call campus police first at X2300, even from a cell phone, since response time will be quicker.

In the event of a power outage, the phones at Cheng will not work because they run through the Internet. There are four campus phones located in Cheng Library that will work in the event of a power failure. Locations include: 1) Wall phone by elevator on first floor, 2) Wall phone by elevator on second floor, 3) by elevator in the basement, 4) outside Library on loading dock. Exceptions are the Director’s office, which has LAN lines.

FIRE WARDENS/EMERGENCY SUPPLIES

In the event of an emergency, fire wardens will lead staff and patrons out of the library. Fire wardens attended training by August Compliance Solutions, Inc. in 2008. Fire wardens also have their own emergency kits.

Basic emergency related information for the Cheng Library Building: • Fire extinguishers are located throughout the building. Check maps in the Appendix for exact

location. • Keys are located in the Administrative Office, 2nd Floor - Pam Vovchuk, x2113 and in Victoria

Wagner’s office (123a) in Lending Services. Maurice Vaca also has keys during evening hours. • Fire/Intrusion alarms are located throughout the building. • Public address system is at the front counter in Lending Services. • Main water shut-off valve: Gary Kaspar. • Main electrical cut-off switch: • Main gas shut-off: Jerry Petrullo, x3369. • Heating and chiller controls: Off the premises: Scott Bowersox x3364.

The following supplies are located in Victoria Wagner’s office in Lending Services.

• 6 large Blue Tarps, 5 currently in use on second floor (10/25/11). Various sizes. • Plastic sheeting various sizes. • 1 Megaphone • 1 First Aid Kit • 1 box of cotton alcohol swabs • 3 flashlights • 1 box of surgical gloves • 1 roll of CAUTION tape • 2 Warden Kits belonging to (MV) and (DB) • Each Kit contains a flashlight, clipboard and pen and an orange cap labeled WARDEN.

Pam Theus has a tub of supplies in Technical Services that will include: wax paper, paper towels, straws and archival paper. Additional archival supplies are located in the Archives Room in the Lower Level of Cheng Library. INFORMATION SYSTEMS No network hardware is hosted at Cheng Library. All WPUNJ hardware is centralized and University Information Systems (IS) handles the backup/recovery. The Sun server on which Voyager runs is associated with the same Veritas NetBackup solution that is used to back up the other campus enterprise systems. In the event of a Voyager server being destroyed (or a similar scenario) Cheng System Librarians would be in contact with IS to restore library systems and restore data from backups.

12/14/11 7

Library-specific software should be given to IS who create a "package" that can be pushed out and installed on workstations over the network, rather than computer-by-computer. Exceptions are kept in a notebook in James DeRose's office. SALVAGE PRIORITIES – SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

Damaged that occurs to Special Collections is categorized into three areas: 1 – SALVAGE AT ALL COSTS 2 – SALVAGE IF TIME PERMITS 3 – SALVAGE AS PART OF GENERAL CLEANUP IF FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE.

The salvage priorities for Cheng’s Special Collections have been determined and are listed below.

SALVAGE PRIORITIES – GENERAL COLLECTION

A general metric of $10/book for freeze-drying should be used when considering salvage priorities. Damaged items from the general collections can be quickly categorized into three categories:

1 – SALVAGE AT ALL COSTS 2 – SALVAGE IF TIME PERMITS 3 – SALVAGE AS PART OF GENERAL CLEANUP IF FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE.

There is a 48-hour window before mold growth begins on wet materials, so Cheng Library staff should be familiar with collection priorities and recovery methods. Materials to have in house include straws (for air circulation between pages), blotting paper, paper towels, non-print newspaper and wax paper.

EVALUATING THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE

1. Identify the types of materials damaged and estimate quantities, e.g., Books, Unbound paper, photographic materials, and magnetic media.

2. Identify the nature of the damage, e.g., materials are: damp, wet, muddy, smoke damaged, fire damaged. Any mold considerations that need to be evaluated will be investigated by campus facilities.

3. Sketch on the floor plan or make a list of the call number ranges involved.

Planning the Recovery Strategy

1. Determine priorities among damaged materials taking into consideration: Importance to the collection, chances for successful recovery, availability of replacements

2. Determine what recovery methods will be used: air drying, freeze drying, dehumidification, cleaning, whether work will be done on site by staff or by an outside agency

3. Determine what resources are needed for the salvage operation: labor (Salvage Squad, Facilities, other volunteers), workspace, supplies and equipment, freezer space, recovery services.

Overview of Recovery Methods for Wet Paper based Materials:

Definition Use for Don’t Use for Air Drying Materials are dried by spreading

them out on and/or interleaving them with absorbent paper in a work space in which the temperature and relative humidity are kept below 65° F and 35% RH, and fans are used to keep air circulating.

- Damp books and books with wetness no more than 1" in on the edges - Small amounts of damp or partially wet unbound paper - Very few wet books, but only if staff can dry them in a controlled environment

- Coated paper, leather or vellum bindings (air drying should only be done by a conservator) - large quantities of wet unbound paper

Freezing Freezing to allow time to plan for

Page 10: Prepared by Lisa DeLuca · 2012-01-04 · DISASTER RESPONSE PLAN . December 14, 2011 . Prepared by . Lisa DeLuca . 12/14/11 2 ... aim of the Disaster Response Plan for the Library

12/14/11 10

recovery stabilizes wet materials. Freezing is an interim step. Materials must be air-dried or vacuum freezed dried after being removed from the freezer. Mold will not grow; further distortion is halted once materials are frozen. Rapid freezing minimizes damage from ice crystals.

Vacuum Freeze Drying

After materials are frozen to prevent further distortion and mold growth, frozen materials are dried in a vacuum chamber. Materials remain frozen as water is removed. The water passes from a solid state (ice) directly to a vapor state.

- Wet books, unbound paper, coated paper - Soluble inks and dyes - Large quantities of damp books or unbound paper if staff, space are not sufficient to air dry

Leather or vellum bindings if they are important to save (these should be air dried under controlled conditions by a conservator)

Vacuum Drying (vacuum thermal drying)

Wet/frozen materials dried in vacuum chamber. A vacuum is drawn, heated air is put into chamber, and vacuum is applied again to pull out moisture. Books distort more than when vacuum freeze-dried. Lower-cost alternative.

Large quantities of unbound paper without intrinsic value

Soluble inks and dyes, coated paper

Dehumidification Materials are dried in place on shelves by large commercial dehumidifiers that are brought on site. Temperature and relative humidity in the area should be controlled. Books distort more than when vacuum freeze-dried.

Moderately wet books Coated paper Leather or vellum bindings

Freezer Drying Materials are put in a freezer for months. Over time moisture sublimates out of the materials.

A few wet books Coated paper

PROCEDURES FOR AIR DRYING WET OR DAMP PAPER-BASED MATERIALS:

Preparation of the Drying Site at Cheng Library

• A workspace for drying in which the environment can be controlled and preferably with a large amount of table surface has been identified.

• In Cheng Library, 6-foot tables can be pulled and remediation areas can be set up with fans in the Library. The Library can handle approximately 500 damaged items. If the damage affects more than 500 books, materials will be sent offsite.

• An area for drying is the Study Alcove in Technical Services. Lending Services has yellow tape to mark off areas for drying.

• Cover the tables or floor with plastic sheeting. Lay absorbent paper on the plastic. If using floors, delimit drying areas with tape and leave aisles for access.

12/14/11 11

• Transport materials to the drying area either on trucks or packed as for freezing, depending on the quantity of materials and distance from disaster site to drying site.

AIR DRYING PROCEDURES: BOOKS

Saturated books - Stand books on their heads; open only the covers slightly to allow them to stand. Lean two books together if they cannot stand alone (e.g., paperbacks), or support them with bookends. Change paper on table as soon as it becomes wet, and turn the book alternately to rest on head and tail each time paper is changed. When most of the water has drained, follow procedure for damp books.

Damp books - Interleave absorbent paper every 50 pages starting at the back of the book, with interleaving extending beyond the tail and fore-edge (for standing on heads). Paper towels are best, but unprinted newsprint will do. Change interleaving as soon as it becomes wet, turning the book to rest alternately on tail and head each time. Frequent changes are better than too many interleaves, which cause further distortion.

Final air-drying step - When almost dry, lay books flat, reform them into their normal shape if possible, and place a lightweight on top. Do not stack drying books together.

AIR DRYING PROCEDURES: UNBOUND PAPER

Drying on a flat surface - Spread documents out on tables/floor in small piles on top of blotter paper. Spread out and change paper beneath as it becomes wet. Interleave stacks of paper every 25 sheets with paper towels, changing interleaving when it becomes wet.

Separating wet sheets - Place a sheet of polyester film on top of a stack of wet unbound papers. Rub gently with a bone folder - the top sheet will adhere to the film. Hang the sheets of film with paper stuck to it on a clothesline. As they dry, they will separate from the film. Or, lay the wet sheet and film on a sheet of polyester web (such as non-woven interfacing fabric). Carefully peel off the film. Lay another sheet of polyester web on top of wet sheet. Lay these on tables to dry.

Final air-drying step - Placing them between two blotters and applying even pressure with weights may flatten unbound papers.

PROCEDURES FOR AIR DRYING WET OR DAMP MATERIALS

FOR NON PRINT MATERIALS

PROCEDURES FOR MAGNETIC TAPE (VIDEO, AUDIO AND COMPUTER) Priorities

• Salvage older tapes before newer ones, cellulose acetate for example • Salvage master and unique tapes

Precautions • If the water is dirty or salty, do not allow tapes to dry out. Rinse them in clean water as soon as possible. Magnetic tape that gets wet in a disaster is not in immediate danger unless the water is dirty, or contains corrosive agents, such as seawater. If the water is clean, tapes can remain wet a room temperature for several days.

Salvage and Recovery

• Avoid recovery methods that use extreme heat or cold – both can damage tapes. Acceptable methods are air-drying, dehumidification and vacuum drying without heat.

• Put Tapes on Open Reels (there may be a few in archives, there are none in Media Services)

• If contaminated with mud or sewage, rinse asap in clean water, then add as little as possible a mild dish washing liquid (perfume and dye free) to the cleaning water

• If tapes are properly wound exposed to clean water, rinse in distilled water, blot carefully with a lint-free towel, air dry vertically at room temperature

• If edges of the tape are fragile, do not blot. If tape is not properly wound and water has gotten inside the tape pack, separate the reel flanges from the tape using a rubber grommet. This allows airflow and keeps the tape from sticking to the flange. Air dry vertically (do not use heat). When the tape looks dry on the outside, run the tape over with cleaning tissues or felt pads. Copy the tape if possible.

• If cassettes or cartridges are wet only on outside, air-dry on absorbent materials.

• If tape is wet inside the cassette or cartridge, dismantle and treat as open reel tapes as described above.

12/14/11 13

Procedures for Compact Discs (CDs, DVDs) Priorities

Treat CDs or DVDs affected by mud, sewage or seawater before those that are only wet. Paper enclosures and inserts are usually coated paper. Handle separately as coated paper.

Precautions Do not scratch either side of disk. When drying them, wipe radially from the center to the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

Salvage and Recovery

If mud or sewage affected them, wash in soapy water at room temperature; rinse in distilled water and air dry at room temperature or wipe gently with clean, soft, lint-free cloth using radial motion (straight line from center to outer edge) If fresh water affected them, rinse in distilled water and air dry at room temperature or wipe gently with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth using a radial motion (straight line from center to outer edge)

Procedures for Phonograph Records Priorities

Salvage shellac and acetate before vinyl discs Freeze or dry enclosures within 48 hours (handle as paper)

Precautions Acetate and shellac discs are sensitive to water. Keep water contact to a minimum. Hold discs by their edges. Avoid touching the surfaces.

Salvage and Recovery

Remove discs from sleeves and jackets If labels have separated, mark the centers of the discs with a grease pencil Dry separated labels, jackets and sleeves as other paper materials Wash discs exposed to unclean water in a record-cleaning machine if possible. If not available, wash in trays of distilled water and 1% non-ionic wetting agent (Kodak Photoflo or Lissapol TN450). Set discs vertically in a rack to air dry.
