Re: A rose by any other name? I don't think so!



I don't believe librarians or library administrators understand
how complex the archivists job is.   For example, dealing with
issues of copyright and donor agreements ...   they also
don't understand the collection concept....but try to divide things
by format (send the government documents here, send the
audiotapes there, etc.) ... and in many libraries some of these
different formats are not cataloged, so the "collection" that
could have been useful is broken up and made difficult for the
user.
