Roundtable 1: Lone Arrangers and Their Challenges

Join us for a roundtable discussion. The roundtables have no formal presenters. They are designed to provide time for fuller discussion, to allow attendees more input as to the direction the discussion will take, and time to share experiences with other attendees. Please comment below with questions or topics for this roundtable.

Those who work as "solo" archivists in their repository frequently have differing problems and needs than those who share the workload with others in their archives. Trying to cover multiple phases of an archives operation all at once can be challenging.

This roundtable will allow the opportunity for lone arrangers to gather together and bring their problems to seek advice from others regarding solutions they have found, as well as tips they have found for better efficiency to make the best use of what little time is available. All topics relevant to lone arrangers are welcome, such as reference, outreach, access, conservation/preservation, arrangement and description, advocacy, technology, digitizing, etc.
