This isn't quite relevant to the Lit Review, but definitely relevant for those who will be entering the workforce. The 2012 Association of Research Libraries fall forum contained a presentation on the job descriptions being posted by research libraries throughout the US, and you can see the results of their study at the following link (there's a pdf of the slide presentation and an audio link):
I have a few citations that should be of interest to people who are interested in participatory and community archives, as well as archival advocacy. Because I'm lazy, these aren't full citations, but if you email me I can send you a pdf of the article (unless it's a book, of course)
Participatory and Community Archives:
- Isto Huvila “Participatory Archive: Towards Decentralised Curation, Radical User Orientation, and Broader Contextualisation of Records Management"
- Andrew Flinn, “Community Histories, Community Archives: Some Opportunities and Challenges” (Flinn does a lot of work surrounding community archives)
- Lyndon Ormond-Parker and Robyn Sloggett, “Local Archives and Community Collecting in the Digital Age”
- Controlling the past : documenting society and institutions : essays in honor of Helen Willa Samuels / Terry Cook, editor.
- Community archives : the shaping of memory / Jeannette A. Bastian and Ben Alexander.
Digital Preservation/Metadata
- There is an entire "Magenta Book" of OAIS (Open Archival Information Systems) modeling, which is considered the standard for digital preservation. Also, Dr. Galloway's digital preservation course has links to all articles assigned: http://courses.ischool.utexas.edu/galloway/2013/spring/INF392K/schedule.html
- Introduction to metadata / edited by Murtha Baca.
- Steven J Miller has a website and a book (not available at UT, but available through ILL) on metadata standards: https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/mll/www/
- The Briscoe center on campus has extensive documentation on the kinds of metadata they use in their digital repository, and they're all super friendly.
- For people interested in international/non-Western archives, I'd suggest starting with the International Council on Archives. The US is the only location that uses EAD, whereas much of the international world uses ISAD-G, which is developed by the ICA: www.ica.org
Archival Advocacy:
- Gary D. Bass, “Advocacy in the Public Interest”
- Sydney J. Levy and Albert G. Robles, ‘‘The Image of Archivists: Resource Allocators’ Perceptions’’
- Richard Cox "Teaching Advocacy in Archival Education Programs" http://escholarship.org/uc/item/0408w1dv
- Ray Edmondson, “When Governments Make Mistakes: Advocacy and the Long-Distance Archivist”
- Alan R. Andreasen, “Developing a Customer-Centered Mindset”
- Texas Library Association Media Toolkit : http://www.txla.org/PR-toolkit
I hope some of these are useful to different groups.
Hello All -
ReplyDeleteThis isn't quite relevant to the Lit Review, but definitely relevant for those who will be entering the workforce. The 2012 Association of Research Libraries fall forum contained a presentation on the job descriptions being posted by research libraries throughout the US, and you can see the results of their study at the following link (there's a pdf of the slide presentation and an audio link):

I thought this would be a good jumping off point for those interested in libraries/archives to see what kinds of positions are being advertised for.
