Comments on: Purpose, intention, goals: what are we doing here? http://archivesfound.com/2008/07/31/purpose-intention-goals-what-are-we-doing-here/ Thinking critically about the archival impulse Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:58:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gordon http://archivesfound.com/2008/07/31/purpose-intention-goals-what-are-we-doing-here/comment-page-1/#comment-23 Gordon Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:54:39 +0000 http://archivesfound.com/2008/07/31/purpose-intention-goals-what-are-we-doing-here/#comment-23 This is a really excellent topic. As someone new to blogging, for me my blog has been a way to stay connected to the archival profession. My career track started in archives but has since trended towards special libraries and information gathering. I enjoy what I’m doing now, but have wanted a way to keep my toes in the waters of the archival profession. Blogging seemed to be a great way to do that. Blogging stimulates my intellectual curiosity and keeps me connected to my peers in the field. I'm honored to have my humble little blog on your blogroll. I've posted a link to Archives Found on my own blogroll and look forward to reading future posts here. This is a really excellent topic.

Your post made me think and rethink about the focus of my blog (which is, admittedly, a bit schizophrenic but that's because I do so many different jobs at this library). However, in terms of archivist blogs, the reasons I read them are: 1) to learn about other people and how they came to be in this field, 2) what problems others are encountering and how they are resolving them, 3) professional development and 4) just because I enjoy reading about different projects and finding out how others are using available technologies to enhance access to the archives.

I hope that we can all work together to make blogs a place where archivists want to meet and comment and further discuss these issues. Janine,
