Speaker Change for Thursday’s SAASC Event! Due to unforeseen
circumstances, the Society of American Archivists Student
Chapter’s event “SAASC Presents Get Your House in Order:
Advocating for Your Archives” with Erin Lawrimore will be
rescheduled for a future date. In Erin’s place, we are grateful
to be hosting Dr. Jessica Bushey, our own SJSU professor and
advisor, as our guest speaker for this event on Thursday,
February 1st from 5:00-6:00 pm (PST)!
SAASC Presents “Ask an Archivist” with Dr. Jessica Bushey
We look forward to an insightful discussion on the topic of
raising the profile of archives within larger museum
organizations and their valuable insights on advocacy in
archives, which is a crucial aspect of our INFO 284 course on
Reference and Information Services for Archives. While there may
not be a PowerPoint presentation, Dr. Bushey will provide
real-world examples and case studies through websites to enrich
our discussion. Your understanding is greatly appreciated, and we
hope to see you there!
