Considering set theoey, I can easily identify three groups of people with
an interest in records management:
1). Qualified archivists,
2). Records management staff,
3). Generalists (business analysts, admin managers, IT staff etc). who
have a need for information about records management principles.
I would argue that much of the debate we have heard to date has come from
sets 1. and 2. and has been about qualifications rather than education and
discussion within our speciality rather than addressing the issue of
general knowledge as part of a wider business experience.
In the past, if I needed specific knowledge about a business discipline, I
looked up the Open university MBA course information and studied an
appropriate module.
How about an equivalent for records management or, if that is considered
too restrictive, corporate governance?
