Where are LAM Programs in LIS?

In Our LIS Program

Outside of Our LIS Program

The ideal LAM relationship iscomposed of individuals who seethe synergies between Libraries,Archives, and Museums.

The ideal LAM @ Universities

relationship is symbiotic -resource sharing, curriculumsharing

LAM relationships are beneficialas long as you let them be whothey are

I do, and I dont; there arepieces that are common but

there are also pieces that arereally different.

As long as you let them beunique in the ways that they'reunique.

The days of isolation are over

understanding that those three(LAM) programs are really different,different methodologies, differenttheories.

The better care we take of our uniqueskills, and the better we develop thoseunique skills, the richer thepartnership is. I think it weakens itvery much if you lump them alltogether and say they are all the same:they are not.
