Abstract

Abstract An archives’ descriptive practices have a significant impact on researchers' ability to find, use, and understand records. Archivists do not fully utilize the descriptive fields that DACS and other standards provide to explain how and why a collections are acquired and the interventions archivists make in collections. However, this information can be critical to a researcher's analysis. This paper makes a case for archival description that is rooted in values of transparency and accountability, and provides a concrete examples of how one institution rewrote its description policies to codify and formalize transparency and accountability as key drivers of their descriptive program.

信任问题:撰写以用户为中心、价值驱动的描述的实用策略

档案的描述实践对研究人员查找、使用和理解记录的能力有重大影响。档案工作者没有充分利用DACS和其他标准提供的描述性字段来解释如何以及为什么获得馆藏，以及档案工作者在馆藏中所做的干预。然而，这些信息对研究人员的分析至关重要。本文提出了一个基于透明度和问责制价值观的档案描述案例，并提供了一个具体的例子，说明一个机构如何重写其描述政策，将透明度和问责制编纂和形式化，作为其描述计划的关键驱动因素。
