In the corporate world, corporations are identified by their philosophies and principles. At one point in my life, I worked for an internet company whose philosophy and principles were the code they existed by. Everything that we did at that company was governed by a policy based on a principle or philosophy of practice, even down to how we dressed and how our quarterly meetings were conducted. When the company began to fall apart, it was a direct correlation to creating policies that were no longer based on their principles or philosophy. Everything changed and the workers stopped believing in what they were supporting. Within 2 years, the company had outsourced all its representatives and closed its doors.
In library and archival settings, philosophy and principles also govern practice. These ideals are important to the identity and integrity of the institute you may find yourself working within. The policies tell the patron how data will be presented to them, it tells donors how their donations will be accessed and uses, and what those working with these items will be expected to do.
Below are samples and explanations:
Library and Information Sciences and The Tribal Consultation Plan of 2021:Cultural Empathy within the Library and Archival Professions (LS-501 Information in Communities)
In this class, we were able to research a policy that affects library and archival communities. As a result, this is the research and presentation of the Tribal Consultation Plan of 2021.
Appraisal and Implementation Policy for the Cherokee Language Teaching Archive (LS-577 Archival Appraisal)
After reading and understanding policies in the archival community, we were given the chance to create an appraisal policy based on everything that we learned. This is the first draft (as I am sure this will change when it has been discussed with my colleague) of the Cherokee Language Teaching Archive that we have been creating. This policy will, hopefully, be a policy we can employ to show others the principles we will be using to asses our records for use.
