Roses
One other thought I forgot to add. I'm not sure one should hesitate to
defend one's work in a public meeting. Obviously you have to guage the
nature of the meeting and how far you wish to go off topic, but it's
probably a bad idea to leave management with the idea that
librarian=archivist.
Given the nature of meetigns and the ease with which we all zone out, the
one line that people will walk out of such a meeting with is there's no
difference between the two. That raises the specter of management looking
to cut things and asking themselves "we have librarians, who needs
archivists?" I might even suggest, Susan, that once you feel confident of
the differences between the two (based on list responses and other research
if you choose), I might informally talk to whoever in power might have heard
this exchange and make sure _they_ know the difference so you don't find
that equivalency coming back to haunt you.
