I have
a request from an organization that wants to know if they should,
and how to, save web site information when they update their site. I think there were some messages about this not too far past. Does anyone remember this thread? Susan

I did a search on the words preserv website
with the substring search option on and got fifteen hits:
If an organization publishes information on
its site which a consumer may reasonably use as the basis of a decision, the
organization is at risk if the consumer's decision goes awry as a result of the
information. The level of risk, of course, depends on the advice. If
the advice is to use cinammon instead of ginger and the pumpkin pie turns out
inedible, the risk is low. If the site says use asprin over ibuprofen and
the consumer could die, the risk is higher.
As a result, the organization will want to
be able to demonstrate the content and context of the website if the information
places the organization at a level of risk that there may be some
litigation.
There's a really great PowerPoint
presentation (with the text of the lecture, not just the
slides) What's New : As a Trial Attorney,
How Would I Attack the Way You Manage Your Electronic Records?
