The Archivist’s Song 

I’m a archivist 

And I’m ok 

I appraises all night 

And I shreds all day. 

I throw out stuff 

I drink red wine 

I digitise the repository 

On Wednesdays its networking 

And there’s no time for tea. 

- from “We are archivists, but are we OK?” by James Currall & Michael Moss

Resources are like Pringles: once you pop you just can’t stop.

No faster way to get on my dark side.

STOP PROCRASTINATING AND LET ME GIVE YOU GOOD SOURCES

Nobody ever wants to know about the history of metadata.

No full text available, no problem. We can find it somewhere else.
