(please excuse this cross-posting)
I am a computer consultant specializing in databases who entered library
school to become an archivist, due to a long-standing interest in
archival material and of course to expand my market.
For my seminar paper for my final semester at the University of
Wisconsin - Madison School of Library and Information Studies, I am
researching the implementation of EAD and what factors prevent its
adoption. I am interested in interviewing archivists whose institutions
have decided to implement EAD but have not been able to do so for any
reason including funding, technical difficulties, lack of technical
expertise, lack of time, lack of staff, etc. The interview will consist
of approximately ten questions and can be done either via e-mail or
telephone.
I hope to suggest solutions for some of the barriers identified in my
research. I will share my information subsequent research paper with the
listserv. Although Tatem wrote about this in 1998, there seems to be a
lack of recent research on this subject. I hope this paper will fill
that gap.
Thank you for any assistance you can give me,
