Dear All,
I am currently studying for an MSc Econ in Records Management at the
University of Wales, Aberystwyth and I have reached the dissertation stage
of my course. I am posting this message as a request for help. I would
very much appreciate it if people who are interested in this particular
topic could find time to think about and respond (however briefly) to the
questions, which are set out below.
The dissertation is concerned with current perceptions of records
management and of records managers. All contributions and comments are
welcome but I am particularly interested to hear from colleagues currently
working in RM. Specifically I would like to know:
1. Why did you choose a career within the records management field?
2. What is your employment/educational background? Did you originally
train as an archivist or information professional and subsequently choose
to specialise in records management?
3. Do you see your job within the records management field as a permanent
position (one which you hope to still be in 5 years from now) or as a
temporary arrangement?
4. Do you feel that records management as a separate discipline has a
future within the UK, or will it become merged with other areas of
professionalism such as knowledge management or information management?
Please e-mail all answers to these questions off list direct to me
([log in to unmask]).
Thank you for all of your help,
Yours sincerely Jessica Reynolds
