A.7. I use my collection policy and hands on just going through collections and encourage lots of questions #appraisethis

[Amy Allen @ArkivistAmy]

Q.6. For me University Archives is physically integrated w/ Special Collections so it is a matter of who manages/processes it. #appraisethis

[Amy Allen @ArkivistAmy]

My efforts, although I would like to make it more formal. I'm always looking for faculty who also served as a department chair, dean, etc. https://t.co/gFoRWoAdKU

@ArkivistAmy Hey Amy, Kira here (+A&A Intern), wondering if gaps are more formally id'd as part of internal pract. or is your own efforts? #Appraisethis

[Amy Allen @ArkivistAmy]

@mlsweetser Good point. We have received good material that are not related to the university from faculty members

[Amy Allen @ArkivistAmy]

A.3. My collection strategy focuses on original research or materials to fill in gaps in university records. #appraisethis

[Amy Allen @ArkivistAmy]

we usually collect more for research and service areas

[Amy Allen @ArkivistAmy]

A.2. Yes, because our mission includes teaching, research and service, we collect materials from faculty from all three areas #appraisethis
