Postmodernism, Processing, And The Profession: Towards A Theoretical Reading Of Minimal Standards, Melanie Griffin Jan 2010

Postmodernism, Processing, And The Profession: Towards A Theoretical Reading Of Minimal Standards, Melanie Griffin

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

As Frank Burke noted in 1981, evidence-based practice rather than theory tends to dominate professional literature about archives. The papers presented at archival conferences and published in journals often concern themselves with the quotidian functions of archives: processing, description, access, preservation, reference, education, and (in the decades since Burke wrote) digitization. This situation is hardly surprisingly given the fundamentally practical – indeed pragmatic – thrust of archival work. The field is often referred to as a science, not a theory, and abstract concepts neither offer concrete solutions to the immediate questions of daily practice nor provide new techniques for managing …

Easing The Learning Curve: The Creation Of Digital Learning Objects For Use In Special Collections Student Training, Judith A. Wiener Jan 2010

Easing The Learning Curve: The Creation Of Digital Learning Objects For Use In Special Collections Student Training, Judith A. Wiener

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Low-staffed and often under-funded, academic libraries have traditionally relied upon student labor to maintain library services and to complete a seemingly unending workload. The use of students within the archival or special collections setting is no different. Special Collections departments often use students to complete tasks that could be reserved to the realm of professional staff. These include processing collections, preservation and conservation work, digitizing, and providing reference assistance.

Let's Give Them Something To Talk About, Kathleen D. Roe Jan 2010

Let's Give Them Something To Talk About, Kathleen D. Roe

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Every morning I drive to work past Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a highly regarded college in the northeast for engineers, architects, mathematicians, and a predictable array of geeks and techno-nerds as well as a couple of what my daughter would term ―hot college kids.‖ What fascinates me during my drive, beyond the people-watching opportunities, is a banner displayed on the overpass linking the two sides of campus that poses one simple question to the students: ―Why not change the world?‖


History On The Move: Relocating Special Collections And Archives, Pam Hackbart-Dean, Leah Agne, Julie Mosbo Jan 2010

History On The Move: Relocating Special Collections And Archives, Pam Hackbart-Dean, Leah Agne, Julie Mosbo

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

As anybody who has moved from one house or apartment to another knows, moving is hard work. It requires physical strength, to be sure, but it also demands mental strength since any move will cause a mixture of excitement, frustration and anxiety. The most crucial step to minimize mental stress is planning, which should be started as far in advance as possible. Because every move offers its own challenges, communication, coordination and flexibility are also essential. The same principles apply to moving an academic library‘s special collections. The focus of this article is on the preparation and execution of a …

Through To Cyberspace: And What Janus Found There, Richard Pearce-Moses Jan 2010

Through To Cyberspace: And What Janus Found There, Richard Pearce-Moses

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

A few years ago, I was presenting at a workshop in electronic records management for state agencies in Arizona. Many in the crowd came from agencies that had done little or no thinking about how they would manage their electronic records. They had basic questions, like ―How long do I need to keep email?‖
