MARAC Spring 2000 - New Brunswick



MARAC Spring Meeting 2000 - New Brunswick, N.J.
May 18-20, 2000

TALES FROM THE BASEMENT:
MANAGING PEOPLE, TIME, AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE ARCHIVES

Climb down from the Ivory Tower and come listen in New Brunswick. "Tales
from the Basement: Managing People, Time, and Technology in the Archives"
is a program of sessions and workshops designed to share the practical
wisdom and experiences of effective archival managers. Beyond the theory
taught in school, archivists need to learn management of human resources,
budgeting, and the politics of advocating archival programs. Personnel
topics range from use of contract employees to replacing longtime
employees to recruiting in a corporate world. Effective management of
technology is considered in several sessions, including how web sites can
meet needs of the visually impaired, or how to develop expertise for
control and use of electronic records. Archival advocacy and action are
encouraged in all sessions, whether addressing budget defense, staffing
needs, or "internal" outreach. From distance learning to documenting the
ephemeral world of dance, these sessions convey tales from the basement,
the realm of practicing archivists.

Complete program (special events, tours, session descriptions, directions,
registration forms) is available from the MARAC web page:
