Introduction to Records and Information Management course
Learn how to identify, manage and protect your office’s records and information – from creation to final disposition.
How long will it take you find a file on your shared drive and identify the FINAL version of the file? What records should be kept? Where should you safely store these files and how long should you keep them? These are just some of the challenges that we often face in organizing and managing complex business records and information as it can be a little intimidating.
This course offers a practical information to implementing the vital elements of records management. You will learn why records management is important, identify and manage business records and understand the system of records retention. This course also offers helpful guidance on how to better manage email and other electronic records, know the most appropriate tools for file storing and sharing, and learn who to call.
Rachelle Ross will be leading the course. She is the Records and Information Officer at the University of Manitoba, working out of the Access and Privacy Office. Rachelle has a MA in Archival Studies, and over 15 years’ experience working in archival and records management roles in public and private institutions in Manitoba.
