Tip #13: Learn what’s important.

The other week we discussed the importance of knowing the difference between high priority and low priority threats to your collection, but it’s just as important to know what the high priority items in your collection are. In other words, if a disaster occurs, what items do you attempt to rescue first?

Here’s some example questions to help build that discussion*:

- What are the items that are most important to the community?

- What are the items that get used the most?

- What items would be the most difficult to replace?

- What items would be most at risk from X disaster?

- What items are easy to move to a secondary location?

- And which ones can’t be moved at all?

*Bonus tip: the best discussions happen not just between members of your team, but with your community as a whole!
