have received a couple of emails over the past few weeks concerning RAIN.
For the past few years I've been producing RAIN on an every other day basis.
due to work demands and personal life RAIN will be produced on a weekly
basis.
For those who may not be aware August 2009 represents the 13th anniversary
of RAIN. 13 years ago I began posting stories to the archives and recmgmt-l
listservs. The purpose was to make archivist and records managers aware of
stories in which archives or records management was either an underlying or
main theme.
