Managing Government Records and Information Bruce W. Dearstyne

The text includes many examples from policy documents, guidelines, and other publications that provide insights into how programs are coping with particularly difficult challenges and how they are changing over time. Its several appendices were included because of their insights, because they are good models, or because they illustrate strategic approaches to coping with problems.

Essential Elements of Local Government Records Management Legislation, 2nd Ed. U.S. Government Relations Committee of ARMA International

In these times of limited resources and rapidly expanding service requirements, it is more important than ever to establish effective policies and procedures Policies and Procedures are a set of documents that describe an organization's policies for operation and the procedures necessary to fulfill the policies. They are often initiated because of some external requirement, such as environmental compliance or other governmental  for records and information management programs. This second edition of Essential Elements of Local Government Records Management Legislation will assist local and state government records professionals, policy makers, and legislators in updating their laws and policies to establish comprehensive records management programs that reflect the accepted principles of the profession and provide a solid foundation for program development.

The elements are: general provisions; administrative responsibilities and program management; access to records; legal custody of records; records retention and disposition; archival programs; storage of inactive records; microimaging; legal remedies/penalties; vital records; and program funding. Each chapter also contains a discussion section with representative examples taken from current state and local laws, rules, and ordinances. This approach permits the selective use of existing statutory language to accommodate differences in legislative format and administrative practice.
