Cost: £117.50 per participant (incl. VAT at 17.5%)
Our well-known Introductory Course is aimed at people working with
archives and records without formal recordkeeping qualifications, and
who feel that they would benefit from some basic training in the
principles of managing records and archives. It is suitable for:
Archives and records assistants
Managers of archive staff
Librarians and information managers responsible for archives and
records
IT professionals seeking an overview of the aims of archives and
records management
Anyone else who has responsibility for managing archives and records
This training day is continually reviewed and revised to reflect
feedback from participants and the course directors evaluations and
for 2004 there is a new-look programme which aims to allow more time
for participants to explore the records management end of the archives
life-cycle and . The day retains four core sessions focusing on the
main areas of archives and records management, differing in length as
appropriate. By chairing and facilitating throughout the day, the
course directors ensure that the program is integrated and flows well.
Sessions will include ample time for questions and a high level of
participation is encouraged. A course handbook will be provided, which
will contain:
supporting notes from the speakers;
a select bibliography;
the BASTD glossary of archive and records management terms;
useful contacts;
a list of relevant Websites;
info-bytes on related topics;
a section with guidance on utilising current technology for records
and archives management
participants list;
information about other TASC training opportunities
Participants are encouraged to prepare for the course by formulating
questions or issues that have arisen in the course of their work, for
consideration by the speakers and the class as a whole. The course fee
of £117.50 (incl. VAT) also includes lunch (with vegetarian option;
please let the directors know if you have any other special dietary
needs) and tea and coffee.
