Who said Records Management wasn't
exciting nor challenging?
I refer you to a document in Draft Form from
the Western Australian Department of Industry and Technology "DoIT" titled
Guidelines for State Government
Websites.
I have reviewed the document and found it to
be extremely thorough, well thought out and worth a read, over a
number of days. I admit, I skimmed it and concentrated on the RM side of the
exercise.
If you as a Records Manager take on the
responsibilities of implementing these guidelines "once they have been
finalised" you will have a challenging, rewarding though hectic working
life.
This situation is, in my view a part of
what Records Management is about in 2001 and the future.
This document is a heavy read, if you as a
RM professional are not in a position to take it on board, now is the time
to update your skills as this is the FUTURE and it is here
NOW!
Comment of the day: Box chucking is
out ------ Management of websites is in.
Yours Sincerely, Laurie
