RE: Sector representation - first steps?

All

Well, we've talked at length, we've argued and in some cases we have done our pitch. The question is have we really got anywhere? The answer, I think, is probably no. I suppose this reflects, at least in GB, the Educational, Local Authority and Central Government bias of the list, we all do good meetings. I expect we will have the same discussion in 2010.

It's good to see the archivists getting some sort of act together with the memorandum of understanding between their various organisations. I like to think of myself as a modern Records Manager not an archivist. My main involvement with the archives is to pass them the stuff that the organisation no longer needs to keep, but retains some sort of historical value. This may be a bit of a "one eyed" view, but as a previous person said modern RM leans towards ICT and Corporate/Information Governance. I take my lead from them. I am not part of the archival function. 

This list is a records management list, I think the archive people have their own list, do they have the same type of discussions? Neither am I a library person (although I absolutely love libraries) do they have the same discussions? Is it just us doing the navel gazing?
