Not A Guybrarian: January 2009
http://notaguybrarian.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. I'm in ur kongres, openin ur gubmint. Change we can believe in:. The end may finally in sight to the seven-year battle historians and archivists have waged to overturn President Bush’s Executive Order 13233 of November 2001. That restricted access to presidential records. On January 7, 2009, the House of Representatives approved H.R. 35, the “Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2009,”. By an overwhelmingly bi-partisan vote of 359-58. 433 US. 425. 1977), and other cases.".

Sunday, April 29, 2012. ARMA, Archivists, and Affordability. God Bless Jimmy McMillan. Helping people make Image Macros since 2010. First, some context: this post is a response to comments in Maureen Callahan's post on You Ought To Be Ashamed. 50 for downloadable standards? 1000 for registration for the annual meeting? So are you suggesting that ARMA should have a progressive dues structure like SAA? Ie should they be like AIIM and have a name your price dues structure? I took a look at the membership br...

Not A Guybrarian: A (not-so-)Brief Aside on Metadata and Its Uses
http://notaguybrarian.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-not-so-brief-aside-on-metadata-and.html
Monday, September 24, 2012. A (not-so-)Brief Aside on Metadata and Its Uses. So, you may have noticed the gap in updates for this so-called “series”. This is largely because I have been actually doing the work instead of blogging about it (oh sure, “Productivity”, a likely story. But in this case it’s true! These tools that I’m using? I’ve been giving this a lot of thought and comparing the various outputs of the tools that I’ve been testing, and I have reached a preliminary conclusion, i....How much ...

Not A Guybrarian: E-records Use Testing: Ingest, Pt. 1 (Or, "In Which I Get Bailed Out By SAA Roundtable leaders"
http://notaguybrarian.blogspot.com/2012/08/e-records-use-testing-ingest-pt-1-or-in.html
Thursday, August 2, 2012. E-records Use Testing: Ingest, Pt. 1 (Or, "In Which I Get Bailed Out By SAA Roundtable leaders". Most of the existing e-records collections at UWM either predate me or predate the period during which I was concerned about silly things such as "authenticity." We STILL really don't have a separate e-records collection plan, as recommended by the AIMS report. But thanks to said report we are at least talking about these issues at staff meetings. So that's something, I guess? But we...

Not A Guybrarian: July 2012

Tuesday, July 31, 2012. E-records use testing: Introduction. Luckily, I am far from the only person in this particular boat. SAA has been very good about getting in front of this issue, most recently through their Digital Archives Specialists certificate program. So that's going to be this blog for the next few posts. Hope my readers (all 3 of you) find it useful, or at least interesting. Do feel free to comment/point out miscues/heckle/etc., as that will help me figure out where we're going ...

Not A Guybrarian: June 2008
http://notaguybrarian.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2008. Or,"Do a little more research before you mouth off"). Oh, for Bob's sake. Alex Heard LOOKS like he is complaining in Slate today about the willy-nilly destruction of records, but in reality he is demonstrating a profound ignorance of how records management works. Some choice quotes:. The letter conjured up images of my file getting scrutinized by furrow-browed NARA scholars who decided that, alas, John R. Poole was not of sufficient historical interest to keep around. You know, ...

Not A Guybrarian: September 2008
http://notaguybrarian.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 15, 2008. Sarah Palin's e-mail chicanery (Warning: Political). I thought we had enough of this from the CURRENT administration, but no. Palin routinely uses a private Yahoo e-mail account to conduct state business. Others in the governor's office sometimes use personal e-mail accounts, too. The practice raises questions about backdoor secrecy in an administration that vowed during the 2006 campaign to be "open and transparent.". Also, it's pretty clear to me that Gov. Palin and you ...
