Poster - Fostering Stakeholder Engagement By Building Archivist Competencies.Pptx, Anne Daniel, Amanda Jamieson, Amanda Oliver

Assessing The Strategic Credibility Of Special Collections, Erin Passehl, Rick A. Stoddart

Rick A Stoddart

In this time of often precarious funding at many colleges and universities, any case that can be made to illustrate how a department strategically fits into the overall university mission is not only worth merit, but an essential survival technique.
