An Evening with Mark Greene

Former SAA president Mark Greene talked with SCoSAA via Skype on Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Mark specializes in acquisition, appraisal, and deaccesioning, and is the Director of the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming. Mark spoke about the implications of using MPLP in other aspects of archival work (appraisal, reference, and digitization), current news and trends in the profession, and how it all impacts us as professional archivists.
