REMINDER: Lee Stout and Larry Eiring to speak at University of Maryland



Critical Issues and Strategic Choices in Archives and Records Management
An Invitation to a Public Lecture University of Maryland April 26, 2001

The archives and records management professions carry out essential
functions for some of our most important information resources. Their work
is critical to the smooth and effective operation of government, business,
education, and other institutions, to document the development of policies
and services, to serve administrative and legal needs, and to ensure the
retention and availability of records with enduring value. These two
professional fields are in the midst of great change as the shift to
e-business, e-commerce, and e-government enhance the importance of
information resources. At the same time, they face substantial challenges
of meeting changing member needs, preserving and managing electronic
records and information, maintaining a distinct professional identity, and
planning for the future. Two of the nation's foremost leaders in the
archives and records field will address these and other issues, describe
strategic choices, and share their thoughts about the future of archives
and records management.
