SAA Publications - Recommendations Needed
Hello to everyone on the listserv.
I was recently offered a position as an archivist at a university in the
Chicagoland area. I would be the first person to ever hold this position at
the institution, and I believe their archives are brand new. When I met with
them for an interview for the job position, I didn't get to ask them if they
had procedures in place - mission statements, public relations, restrictions
on records, etc. I was hoping someone on the listserv could recommend an SAA
publication that would guide me through the various decisions I would have to
make upon beginning this position. I know there are several SAA manuals out
there dealing with college and university archives, but I was wondering if
any stood out above the rest, or if any were specifically taylored towards
those who are brand new to the profession.
Also, I would greatly appreciate any tips on where to begin that the other
people on this listserv could give me.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Martin Firestein
