Colleagues,

I had to share Larry Medina's comments about the SAA Glossary with the author (and my long-time friend), Richard Pearce-Moses.  He asked me to post the following on the List Serve:

Paul,

Thanks for sharing this with me.  It's nice to know that I spent five years of my life working on something that people find useful.  Being called the "go to source" is very flattering.

I have been collecting additional terms and making notes about existing entries since I sent the final text to SAA for publication.  I plan to begin serious work on a new edition that will incorporate those changes (and other research) in the next few months.  

I very much appreciate comments, corrections, terms, or other suggestions to improve the work.  Such comments from the records management community would be very welcome.  As I am not a records manager, I don't always have the knowledge or perspective necessary to get those terms right.

For example, reading the note from Larry Medina, I checked the entries for records manager and archivist.  I see that the Glossary notes that archivists often undertake records management duties, but I don't see a corresponding statement that records managers are often responsible for archives.  I've made a note to correct that.

Thanks!
