Leigh,
I haven't read the article but couldn't agree more with the premise that
archivists and records managers must work together.  Archivists can't come
into the equation at the end (especially with electronic records) and expect
to have the infrastructure and expertise to permanently preserve these
records.  Waiting until the active life of the record has ended will
typically be too late or cost more in blood, sweat, tears, and money because
no thought was given to using standardized hardware, software, and media.
