Public Services and ‘Un-Hidden’ Collections: What We Know and What We Need to Know(2009-06) Schreyer, Alice; Schaffner, Jennifer; Bowen, Shannon E.; Steele, VictoriaGreene-Meissner’s 2005 article, “More Product, Less Process,” proposed nothing short of a transformation in thinking about archival processing.
