Re: About Appraisal of Electronic Records.



I might suggest "Appraisal of Electronic Records: A
Review of the Literature in English."

<http://www.interpares.org/documents/ERAppraisalLiteratureReview.pdf>

This document, written in 2000, is a summary of the
relevant literature in the field of electronic records
appraisal written by Terry Eastwood, chair of the
InterPARES Project's Appraisal Task Force. This report
was used to start the Task Force's discussion on its
problem domain and to refine its research questions.
It is organized into the following sections:

·Changing Environment of Electronic Records. This
section aims to characterize how the computing
environment has evolved over time and what
implications this has for appraisal

·Factors Affecting the Archival Management of
Electronic Records. This section aims to characterize
certain of the most prominent factors that have
affected the ability of archival institutions to
appraise and preserve electronic records.

·Tactical and Methodological Issues and Questions.
This section addresses three questions: when should
electronic records be appraised, what should be
appraised, and who appraises?

·Technical Analysis: This section reviews what the
literature says about evaluating technical aspects of
electronic records.

·Content Analysis: This section reviews what the
authorities say about evaluating content.

·Summary of Conclusions.
