Effective Approaches for Managing Electronic Records and Archives

Bruce W. Dearstyne, editor

Records and information management (RIM) professionals grapple with the constantly growing repository of electronic records that their organizations create at a staggering rate every day. The unwieldy job of managing them sometimes may seem insurmountable. However, Effective Approaches for Managing Electronic Records and Archives is a compilation of essays providing insights, perspectives, and strategies for managing electronic records. The authors--all experts in the field--draw on first-hand experience to present practical solutions, including recommendations for building and sustaining strong electronic records programs.

Some of the essay topics include:

* the definition of electronic records within several contexts

* an example of a model guideline for electronic records, along with a means of testing it

* strategic approaches to electronic records through outlining obstacles and opportunities

* legal impacts and perspectives of electronic records, which include intellectual property and privacy issues

Editor Bruce Dearstyne, a professor at the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland University of Maryland can refer to:
  • University of Maryland, College Park, a research-extensive and flagship university; when the term "University of Maryland" is used without any qualification, it generally refers to this school
, offers the "last word" by way of the concluding essay, adeptly fusing the issues raised by the other contributors and offering his own set of prescriptions for building effective electronic records management programs.
