The Best of Both Worlds: University Archivists and Dual Appointments

---

Abstract

It is said that no man can serve two masters. This may be true. But men and women whom universities appoint as archivists frequently serve two masters. There are archivists - and their number may be legion—who have dual appointments, joint appointments, or other kinds of split assignments in their universities; who in fact are working at two jobs or in two professions; who report to two different bosses; who must fulfill not one but two sets of merit and promotion guidelines; who must serve two groups of clientele; who must answer two different telephones; but who, alas, draw only one salary.
