From August 25 to 27, Skilltypers Christine Quirion (Head of Product and Partnerships) and I, (Content Librarian and Talent Analyst) attended the 86th Annual Meeting of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) in Boston. This conference was not only a chance for us two remote colleagues to meet for the first time in person; but also, an opportunity to learn more about the trending skills and products in the world of archives, special collections, and records management and to make connections with potential content partners.
As an archivist, I have always enjoyed attending the SAA Annual Meeting as it is a great chance to meet colleagues in the field and hear from experts who are conducting research into new and emerging technologies and trends within the profession. The fact that the meeting was held in Boston (the home base of a few of my coworkers) was icing on the cake. I got the wonderful opportunity to also meet another Skilltyper, Jasmine Pogue (Head of Customer Success and Sales), during this trip as well. As remote workers, it’s always a treat to be able to interact with each other in person.
Christine and I split our time among the dozens of paneled sessions offered (both in-person, hybrid, and virtual). I would like to highlight in particular a few sessions that I attended that piqued my interest in the future of libraries, archives, and records management and also might be translated into new content that will complement skills on Skilltype.
Throughout all of the panels that I attended, there was an overarching theme revolving around the use of evolving technologies to augment and complement the expertise of librarians, archivists, and records managers. Without the physical or born-digital records processed by people and their expertise, the software would have no content to display, preserve, or analyze.
By attending this conference, we were able to learn more about current trends in skills, products, and technologies for libraries, archives, and records management communities. In the upcoming weeks, users will be able to see new items and tags appearing in Skilltype as a result.
If you’d like to learn more about partnering with Skilltype to increase the visibility of training and development resources cultivated for libraries and archives through indexing and applying Skilltype’s controlled vocabulary of skills, products, and more, please email our Content Team at content@skilltype.com.
