Join us as we discuss student involvement in archival programs and SAA Student Chapters. We will have a four-person panel consisting of students and advisors who will discuss the positives and challenges they have faced at their own institution with their chapters. Audience participation would be encouraged throughout the session.
Panelists scheduled to present include:
The session will be moderated by Dr. Edward Benoit III, Assistant Professor, LSU
Join the Electronic Records Section and the Records Management Section for a panel on managing email. We will first have the panel with our presenters along with time for discussion followed by brief updates from the Electronic Records Section and the Records Management Section. We are pleased to be joined by the following panelists talking about different views on managing email records:
Join the Security Section for a brief business meeting followed by lightning talks and open discussion. We will have three presentations related to the theme, "Focus on Security: Archives in Ordinary and Extraordinary Circumstances." Jaime Burton will speak about implementing changes to make your archives more secure while not worrying your researchers about the changes. Beaudry Allen will present a case for why cybersecurity should be addressed from the start when creating an electronic records repository. And Bonnie Weddle will provide guidance about how archives should respond when an insider theft crisis arises. We will also hear about the SAA Security Section Blog and you can bring your questions and thoughts on security-related issues for an open discussion.
Members will report on recent developments/current issues relevant to archivists in museums and other institutions that use collections for research and/or exhibitions to educate the public, introduction of new MAS Steering Committee members and a report from the Standards and Best Practices Working Group. The remaining time will be devoted to Working Group discussion and networking with our colleagues. The lightning round talk noted in the print program has been cancelled.
