Two new reviews have recently been published of Reference and Access for Archives and Manuscripts by Cheryl Oestreicher (SAA, 2020). In College & Research Libraries, Leah Richardson (George Washington University) writes, “…in the great detail and care with which Oestreicher unravels the specifics of our archival labor one cannot help by find solidarity: this is what my works looks like, too.”
Rory Grennan (Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, University Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) writes in Archival Issues: "In the [last] 15 years . . . researchers have (fairly or not) elevated their expectations around the immediacy and extent of access to digital records. Oestreicher states that meeting these expectations, which often removes archivists from reference interactions, requires a new kind of approach to reference services, [one that] is detailed throughout the volume."
