Archives in Libraries: What Librarians and Archivists Need to Know to Work Together,

摘要

Archives in Libraries: What Librarians and Archivists Need to Know to Work Together seeks to provide 'an overview of the basic archival concepts, policies, and best practices for librarians and library directors, while also suggesting ways in which archivists working in libraries can describe their work and effectively advocate for archival needs' (p. 5). The book focuses on the United States context, giving historical background to both the archive and library professions in the United States and outlining the core values of the professions as stated by their US professional associations. Covering examples of academic and public libraries that include archives, Archives in Libraries takes its place in the debate about the convergence of libraries and archives that has featured in professional discourse for a number of years.
