Records, Information and Data – Oh My!
Learn how to classify, manage and protect your office's records and information in this course from the Access and Privacy Office
Are your file shares haunted by the ghosts of WordPerfect past? What is a business record? When is data a record? When is information a data? Where should you keep and store all the things to keep them safe and accessible?
Does finding a file on your shared drive involve such a detailed investigation that you feel like Sherlock Holmes catching Moriarty when you find the final Final FINAL draft?
If you are unsure of where and how to start managing your office’s records and information, join us for this half day session. You’ll be introduced to the approved retention rules for university business records so you learn what information needs to be kept, and what can be destroyed, and the University-managed options for storage. You’ll learn where to find helpful guidance and tips and tricks, 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.
