Its ominous-sounding subtitle, Panopticon, refers to the prison designed by Jeremy Bentham in the eighteenth century to facilitate the constant observation of prisoners without their awareness of when they were being observed. Although the design was never constructed, the term has come to be applied to societies practicing widespread surveillance. The homepage of the conference (www.cfp2005.org), provides the following information on how Panopticon came to be the theme:`O ver time, and particularly recently, surveillance of ordinary citizens has increased to dramatic levels. Not only are governments watching more aspects of their citizens' lives, but those in the private sector are increasing surveillance of people as well. Often lost in the race to`increase intelligence' are discussions about different approaches to address problems like the threat of terrorism that are equally or more effective, but do not involve extensive and constant surveillance.'' Audio recordings of the 14 plenary sessions are available on the conference web site. This article covers nine plenaries.
In early 2012, mold was found on materials stored in the high-density automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) at Eastern Michigan University, with remediation beginning in late 2013. This chapter will outline the timeline of discovery and eventual remediation of the mold infestation. The authors will discuss the stakeholders within the library and other offices on campus involved with the response planning for closure, cleanup, and reopening of the ASRS, as well as the development of processes for collection intake to mitigate a future outbreak. The chapter will conclude with lessons learned, takeaways for other institutions, and how Eastern Michigan University is moving forward to protect the investment made in the collection.
