Which Hat Are You Wearing: "You Need What? When?"

Abstract

With a brief historical look at the changing and challenging role of the lone arranger, participants discuss the difficulties and joys of wearing the many hats of a solo archivist. Speaking interactively with the audience, they offer advice and experience on working effectively and efficiently with others in the organization; generating support to create a sustainable program for the future; and balancing the many functions of an archives program as a lone arranger.
