The thing that shocked me so much since becoming an archivist is how many archives aren't even under bibliographic control, let alone online. Boston Public Library doesn't even know what it has in its archives, and end-users think that if it isn't available on the open web (not to mention behind password databases) that it doesn't even exist, that there's no way to find it. People search and never call a librarian.
