    Seminar G. 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, Victoria
    Greene-Meissner’s 2005 article, “More Product, Less Process,” proposed nothing short of a transformation in thinking about archival processing. Archivists have debated the underlying principles and discussed how to adapt the approach to the unique contexts of individual institutions. Despite generating considerable controversy, MPLP has had an extraordinary influence on archival processing that is now beginning to be seen and felt in our reading rooms. Panelists will discuss successful strategies to provide access to collections and to assess the impact of these initiatives on researchers and public services staff.

    Taking the Shifting Gears Challenge
    (2009-06) Clark Brown, Laura; Proffitt, Merrilee; Weiss, Karen B.; Zinkham, Helena
    The ideas put forward in the paper Shifting Gears (September 2007) seemed radical at the time, but they are beginning to look more mainstream. This seminar will include presentations from institutions who have tried to insert “more product” into their digital workflow, while keeping in mind the need for doing so with “less process.” Presenters will focus on sharing practical information for those hoping to ramp up digitization of collections.
