I have to agree it is a lack of understanding about RM. My position
requires a degree, a GED. Yet, the position is required to act as the
central Records Manger for a State Wide agency.
Currently my employer is benefiting from my twenty years of experience and
I believe all the graduate level courses in Library Science, Archives and
Museum studies. If nothing else, the course work gave me a body of
knowledge to fall back on. I have been able to learn from others mistakes
and their successes. Maybe that is the benefit of education, the
knowledge of what has been tried before.
For what it’s worth, my 11¢
