Re: Free Market Economics was
I'd like to support Rand Jimmerson's contention that management-related
issues for archivists are currently being taught in graduate schools. Here
at Simmons, we offer a two-credit Archives elective, " Establishing
Archives and Manuscripts Programs." that runs the management gamut, from
stragegic planning, to budgeting and facilities planning with some
grant-writing thrown in for good measure. I am contemplating expanding it
to a four-credit course since there is so much content that an archivist (
or any other professional for that matter) needs to know in order to feel
confident in the management arena.
I do agree with Kevin and Peter, however, that opportunities for
archivists to be exposed to management education should be more
widespread. If Archivists are to impact their insititutions on
policy-making levels, then they need to know the basics of management
survival.
