> *Saving Orphaned Collections*
> *Presenter:* Paul Valentich-Scott, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
>
> Small collection managers are frequently asked to rescue "orphan 
> collections" that will be discarded without their intervention. Each 
> orphan collection has unique characteristics and must be assessed to 
> determine if it fits into the institutional mission and will 
> accentuate departmental strengths. Orphan collections seldom come with 
> funding and can heavily impact limited small collection resources. 
> This webinar will use actual examples of orphan collection 
> assimilation and rejection in the small collection environment. It 
> will provide methods to effectively determine the most important 
> criteria for deciding to accept or reject an orphan collection.
