Abstract:

This article explores some implications of the new approaches to records appraisai from the perspective of a willing, though somewhat skeptical partic-ipant in these changes. Whiie it necessarily addresses appraisal and macro-appraisal techniques at a theoreticai level, the purpose is not primariiy a theo-retical discourse. It is rather an exploration of methodoiogy, an anaiysis informed by recent, practical experience and some suggestive case studies. What foiiows ¡5 an examination of the extent to which one approach to appraisal, grounded on a firm theoretical foundation, may provide a valuabie and workabie framework for standardization of professionai practice.
