The challenges facing archivists in the 21st century UCLA professor of information studies Anne Gilliland says that understanding the history of archival science is critical to understanding where the field is going. In her new book, "Conceptualizing 21st Century Archives," (Chicago: Society of American Archivists. 2014) Gilliland looks back at practices of archives—often as instruments of economic or political control. In doing so, she delineates the knowledge that today's information professionals can glean from archival traditions spanning thousands of years, and the use of that knowledge to advance technology and sociocultural change in the field. http://bit.ly/1mh93ED Source: http://phys.org/news/2014-06-archivists-21st-century.html See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1mh93ED+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar To view the list archives go to: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK To unsubscribe from this list, send an email to [log in to unmask] with the words UNSUBSCRIBE RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK For any technical queries re JISC please email [log in to unmask] For any content based queries, please email [log in to unmask]
