Subject: Records Managers/Archivists: SAA 2015 session proposal
Hello all,
A discussion with several folks during the break-out period of the record
management roundtable meeting at last month's SAA conference led to a mutual
interest in pursuing a session proposal for next year's conference in
Cleveland. The recent discussion ("controlling entry to the profession") on
Twitter, this list, and the archives and archivist listserv, has further
encouraged the idea, albeit with a few tweaks.
I'm interested in developing a lightning talk delivered by persons in hybrid
archival/RM roles within different organizations (universities, government,
non-profits, corporations, etc...). I envision discussing the usefulness (or
not) of career distinctions in today's environment, the effect of dual-role
positions on graduate education and the profession(s), the value of
"career-specific" certifications, and tips for current students or recent
graduates on optimizing employment potential in the archival/RM market.
This panel will not focus on specific dual-programs, manuals, or strategies,
rather on the increasing professional intersection of archival and RM
careers outside of traditional frameworks, and the blending of such roles
into "information managers" balancing archival and RM duties when required.
As this idea is unrefined at this point, I'm seeking insight on development,
help with content, and of course, panelists! Anyone who is interested at
all, particularly those in dual archivist/records management positions,
please contact me OFF LIST at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
Thanks!
