Jeanne of Spellbound Blog did the great service last week of alerting us that Society of American Archivists’ hotly debated Archives list has an RSS feed. Thanks for telling us, SAA!
When the word came out about SAA’s decision for long-term storage of the list, my first reaction was that of long-held resentment of the Archives list, past, present and future. SAA was shooting the wrong horse, because it’s not the legacy Archives list that needs to get dumped, it’s the present listserv mechanism that needs to die. There’s a lot of talk out about how a clogged inbox arrests productivity, and high traffic listservs make such a constant reality.
