Hello everybody,
My name is Garry Smith and I work at Thames Valley University in the
University Information Centre (Student records etc.).
A recent relocation of the University Information Centre and the
student record archive has highlighted how much space is required to
house 60 years of student files. This move has prompted the University
to invest in an electronic filing system
(http://www.peopledoc.com/easifile.htm).
The system stores files on optical discs, manually indexed and then
they are transferred onto blank CDs to reduce the cost of archiving.
The system comes with unlimited network licences and we are
investigating the option of storing information on a local server. We
intend to use the system exclusively for student records. I would be
very interested in any comments on the following re student records:
Disposal policies
Data Sets
The system arrives next week and I will update the group
accordingly on any benefits/problems encountered.
Best wishes,
Garry Smith
