Practical Tools for Electronic Records Management and Preservation.

Abstract

This paper presents an easy to understand foundation for electronic records management considerations. It also presents practical tools that seamlessly integrate into the system design process and result in the identification of technical specifications and opportunities for improving performance through improved access to records. The tools also identify critical management and policy factors that must be in place to support a full system implementation. These tools can be used by any organization to: (1) Bring the record to the forefront of system design activities. (2) Identify electronic records functionality as part of system design. (3) Create electronic records that support legal and evidentiary needs. (4) Create electronic records that are accessible and usable over time. (5) Integrate diverse document forms and formats into records. (6) Identify need for internal and external primary and secondary access to records.
