Q1 Personally, I would've loved some education classes focused on instruction, marketing classes, etc. Did anyone get that? #readsaa5

@stephestellar But do the people who hire us know what we are and what we do? #readsaa5

But 1st, ICYMI, @KDRoe122 has issued her 3rd call to action. Submit your Archives Quotes (http://t.co/pIZcBXLF12?)! #readsaa5

I'm assuming based on the dates of the core values statement and Greene's talk that the former came about b/c of the latter, yeah? #readsaa5

Lurking on the #readsaa5 & #critlib Twitter chats tonight. Some great discussion but I've got too many thoughts for 140 characters.

Q1 Do you still think that's the case today? If so, what does that mean, both in terms of prof entry and practice? #readsaa5

Q2 Yes to being reflected in arch ed. We need to define who we are and what we do across the board. #readsaa5

@eiratansey Mine was a "preservation mgmnt" course. In retrospect, I kind of wish I had gone w/the general lib management course. #readsaa5

Tomorrow at 8pm EST, we're talking archival advocacy, education & core values. Join us!! http://t.co/dyscs1pagF #readsaa5

@HollyCroft @eiratansey It's an intro class so it's theory lite. But essential if you want to understand why you do the practical. #readsaa5

Q1 I was really intrigued by Kahn's observation re: archival ed -- a heavy focus on processing, little on access/outreach/etc. + #readsaa5
S. Bennett

@barkivist @eiratansey definitely ignore them ;) #readsaa5

@eiratansey Must be, they're nearly identical #readsaa5

@barkivist I don't think competencies will do that better than other tools? Would they be used/useful? IMO Core Values are enough+ #readsaa5

@barkivist We can sell ourselves and our skills without competencies though I could be persuaded otherwise #readsaa5

Q1 Archivists are so vocal and aware of the importance of "getting out there" (wherever there is) today, in school and out #readsaa5

(I just ran out of water, wishing for @barkivist's mug of tea!) #readsaa5

@eiratansey We had a mgmt course that was helpful, and an "archives management" class focused on collections #readsaa5
S. Bennett
stephestellar

@barkivist We did a lot of group work and presenting that prepared me for presentations/instruction *somewhat* #readsaa5

FYI for those of you anxiously awaiting the Storify of out #readsaa5 chat, Storify isn't cooperating. Hopefully I'll have it done soon.

Q3 I think we know what we are and what we do, and now it's a matter of being clear and firm about this stuff! #readsaa5

@stephestellar Can you think of what types of promo materials might be helpful? Posters and the like? #readsaa5

Q3 I'd be curious about how they would be used differently? For me, the values are clear as are related actions #readsaa5

No, not enough. I have a very good grounding in ALA's values, thanks to my SLIS classes, but never got same for SAA #readsaa5

Q1 Yes. I didn't get a lot of exposure to archival theory in my program #readsaa5
Eira Tansey
eiratansey

Q3 Yes. But the elephant in room is how 2 enforce Core Values, which SAA has been loathe to do, often for understandable reasons #readsaa5
Erin Lawrimore
barkivist

@eiratansey As I understand it/remember it, yes. #readsaa5

@stephestellar Q3 Was thinking of using core values in developing positions, showing "professionalness," not nec certification. #readsaa5

@barkivist Nope. This is a big prob even at The Archives @stephestellar #readsaa5

@barkivist Thanks for the chat! #readsaa5

Q2 SAA has a "core values statement" (http://t.co/6sBgPJ4GCr). Is it (should it be) reflected in arch ed? Prof development? #readsaa5
Holly Croft

@barkivist @eiratansey I've come to that realization. It took me a couple of months, but I got there. :-) #readsaa5

@MisterBooth @barkivist I do wonder if, as "public services" and "outreach" become part of archivists' titles, courses will appear #readsaa5

@barkivist Was part of some of my archives classes but certainly not a full class! I'd have loved a bit more edu in appraisal + #readsaa5

Q2 which of course brings back the whole "archival education is strongest in an MAS program, not an MLIS program" #readsaa5

@stephestellar @MisterBooth Outreach has too often been something added to a person's job rather than focus. Glad it's changing. #readsaa5

Q3 Maybe my answer is better oriented towards Code of Ethics enforcement, but same thing #readsaa5
S. Bennett

@barkivist Exactly, a pretty list. All the words are easy to understand, just want a visible reminder for us and teaching users #readsaa5

@badger5 @barkivist Now, if only we could get into coloring books and maybe get our own Lego character... #readsaa5

@badger5 I think we'd all agree social media is one of MANY tools - I'd like more "butting in" to faculty, student orientations #readsaa5

@barkivist @eiratansey Don't listen. I have been vocal about hating INLS 500, the theory-heavy class here, but I've learned a lot. #readsaa5

@barkivist My professors tried! We read, wrote about them. Maybe if there were promo materials to put around office it would help? #readsaa5

@MisterBooth Ughhh really?! Do you think competencies would clarify/solve some of those problems? @barkivist #readsaa5

Semi-related thought to #readsaa5 and #critlib discussions: becoming a records manager has taught me a lot about being a better archivist

@stephestellar @MisterBooth @barkivist + can be an archivist" and thus the line in the sand was drawn for bickering ever after ;) #readsaa5
