contents Information Resources for Archivists and Records Administrators. A Report and Recommendations. Walch, Victoria Irons Access to Information Archives Budgets Information Needs Information Services Information Sources National Organizations Needs Assessment Planning Resource Centers This study was designed to assess the information needs of the entire archives and records community and to evaluate the benefits that might be gained from the establishment of a clearinghouse or information center on archives and records. The first of three major sections of the report, entitled "Background and Analysis," describes the growing demand for better information services; provides a profile of the records community; and discusses existing sources of information, information providers serving allied professions, and planning for an archives and records management center. The second section, "Options for Improving Information Services for the Records Community," considers both structural and service options and placement options. The third section presents two recommendations: (1) that a modest archives and records resource center be established, and (2) that the NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) library be designated as the official depository library for archives- and records-related material and that the development of the NARA bibliographic database be encouraged and supported. Appendices include a selected catalog of 11 information sources for archivists and other records practitioners; a projected budget for the recommended archives and records resource center; and a listing of Archival Information Clearinghouse Project Conference participants. Eleven notes are provided. (KM)
