The new digital archivist meets South Park
I've created a PDF of the talk I gave to the Society of Archivists' Conference, succinctly titled 'The New Digital Archivist: from relative isolation to global interoperability', the talk is based on the premise of an archivist who does not actually have any archives to look after! In other words, the kind of archivist who works on a service such as the Archives Hub :-)
What sorts of skills do we need and will more archivists require these sorts of skills in the future?
The talk is available from our website on the Introduction page at http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk/introduction.shtml under 'Presentations'.

P.S. Our software developer is supposed to look thoughtful and not grumpy!

Jane, I'm really glad that you've done this. I was cross to have to miss your paper at conference - and having just quickly glanced through it I can see how many really important issues it raises - from education & training of practitioners through to CPD, service delivery, fundamental technical skills both ICT and "archival" and so on. Plan to read it properly instead of in my half hour catch up time and hopefully leave a more thoughtful & considered comment, but wanted to say really quickly thanks for having got this up.
