Hi Anita, 

You are spot on with your comments - the mythical academic/research librarian or archivist whose job is all unicorns and rainbows.  I graduated a few years ago and that culture was firmly entrenched.  That is part of the problem that I think many SLIS programs are finding.  They keep encouraging and churning out librarians and archivists for very specific job descriptions without realizing they are behind the curve in a changing field.  

It is a much deeper issue that really involves revisiting what schools mean when they add "Information" to their degree area.  But for now, I am just trying generate some interest in ARMA so we can get more students involved.  I figure we have to start somewhere, right?

Thank you!
