Welcome to my draft, pod people!

Hi, Katie!

Thank you so much for your comments, which are very helpful! I think based on your and also Lisa's comments, I should maybe just move the section about the characteristics of performing arts archivist into the "About Performing Arts Archives" and make it just a few sentences. As you suggested, I don't thnk there are other articles specifically on this topic, and basically all that Marini is getting at is that they perhaps have more subject knowledge, have to be more proactive about seeking out materials, and are more engaged with their user communities / more focused on outreach.

Also an excellent point about breaking up my existing sections with more sub-sections. I think where I am going wrong is treating this like a normal paper as opposed to a wiki...too much academic writing may have ruined me forever. And obviously another big weakness of my writing generally is a tendency to be a bit long winded (I know...shocking, right?). I'll see if I can trim down a bit and break things up a bit with more subheadings.

I still haven't been able to go through all of my other sources that came in from ILL, so there will be more content to come...eventually!
