I must be really stupid or suffering from advanced stages of maternity, but
what is DIRKS?

Dear All,
I would be interested to know the views of listserve members on the
following issue: Is the current state of available records management
training in the UK adequate for the changing requirements of organisations
who are facing enterprise issues in relation to records management? It seems
to me that there are a plethora of courses on 'the basics' and a number of
events looking at the high level issues. I am thinking about more advanced
courses to supplement qualified records professionals or professionals from
other disciplines that now have a records management remit to deliver
enterprise solutions. The question is partly prompted by the release of the
latest version of DIRKS. I am wondering if records mangers in the UK feel
fully equipped to deliver projects using DIRKS (should they so wish) or
whether there is skills shortage to do this kind of work and other advanced
RM work.
Training providers please do not use this as a piggy back to promote your
courses, I am more interested in the views of practitioners and employers. I
am happy to take replies off line but think it might be an interesting
debate on line.
