[can-news] Pre publication discount for the NEW edition of Keeping Archives III

The Australian Society of Archivists Inc. (ASA) is proud to present its
flagship publication, Keeping Archives, 3rd Edition [KA3].

KA3 builds upon the foundations of its legendary predecessors by
providing practical guidance for addressing many of the real-life
challenges faced when working with archival records. KA3's balance of
practical information and recordkeeping theory and concepts will assist
archivists new to the profession and others with responsibility for
managing archival records. It will also provide a handy resource for
professional archivists working in specialist areas where they have
little experience or for those simply seeking to update their
professional knowledge.

KA3 provides information, guidance and skills to professionally manage
legacy collections and backlogs while also facing the challenge of
proactively working across the records continuum. It demystifies the
myriad of archival standards, methodologies, theories and concepts using
a number of case studies and real-life scenarios. Topics covered in KA3
include:

.         Introducing Archives and Archivists
