Re: Technical Services Collection



"Technical Services Collection" sounds like a bunch of computer manuals.
=)

Seriously, as you can see in my sig line, my archives is called the Alaska
Technical Data Unit, and I HATE IT WITH THE WHITE HOT INTENSITY OF A
THOUSAND SUNS because nowhere in that title does it reflect that the
collection contains the geologic field records for USGS activity in Alaska.
I have no idea how the title came to be, I just inherited it along with the
job.  So tell your colleague to pick a moniker that better reflects the
name of his collection - his successors will thank him for it.  ;->

Hi folks,

A librarian with whom I work is developing an in-house reference collection
to be used by staff librarians and archivists.  He would like to call this
collection the "Technical Services Collection," however, he did not know if
this was considered an appropriate moniker for an archives.

Does anyone else on the listserv have a Technical Services Collection, or
do you refer differently to such a collection?  Any feedback is welcome.

Please respond to me off-line at: abramsonk@marybakereddylibrary.org.
(sorry, it's long!)

Many thanks.
