In the comics, Batman wears a belt stocked with all the tools he might need on a case. Batarangs, gas mask, grappling hook--whatever the situation, he is prepared.
I like to pretend that archivists are the superheroes (or at least the masked vigilantes) of the LIS world. So we need our own "utility belt," with the tools to manage any information gathering emergency we might face.
What would go onto the Archivist's utility belt? That is what I am still working on. I welcome suggestions, either for general tools (a ruler, a portable scanner) or for product recommendations. I hope to have more updates as I go, explaining why each tool is important and where to start.
