LBSC 670
Information Access Midterm. I here and now call for the archival community to demand that we be recognized as something other than glorified librarians. I call for our educations in archival science to be based in courses that are archives centered. I call for a divorce from Library Schools. I resent taking a course in which I ask the professor what possible relevance his class has on my future as an archivist and he can't tell me. I spent a day in my reference rotation at NARA today and asked how library and archives reference are similar. What part of my reference class applies to what they do. They seemed puzzled. Two different beasts, two different approaches. UGH. I hate library school.
