Hello. I am new to the List Serve. Regarding Records Management graduate
education, there is a MARA (Master of Arts in Records Administration)
program currently being developed through San Jose State University's
Library Sciences department. It looks like it will be an on-line program at
this point (to Debi in Colorado good news!!!) Here is a link to the site
with the information: http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/slis/mara.htm.
This seemed to relate to the current conversation so I thought I'd
contribute the information!
Best regards,
Terri Ramirez
