By Greg Barr
Correspondent
Published June 20, 2004
GALVESTON — Casey Greene’s business card says he’s “Head, Special
Collections,” but a more accurate title might read “Galveston History Sleuth.”
In charge of the Rosenberg Library’s Galveston and Texas History Center since
1984, Greene has not only kept up with countless documents donated to the
library’s archival collection, but he has helped countless people uncover a
glimpse of their pasts.

can be accessed by anyone with a computer and a couple hundred bucks
The computerized records of cases maintained by the circuit clerk now are available online for anyone
willing to pay a $240-per-year subscription. A Mississippi company, Jano Justice Systems Inc., is hoping
to turn the public records into a private profit.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - On the surface, former Missouri Lt. Gov. Thomas Reynolds had
everything: a wife, community stature, a law practice in St. Louis.
But a coroner’s inquest conducted at Lynch’s Undertaking Establishment tells a
different story of Reynolds, who left Missouri briefly during the Civil War with other
Confederate exiles.

Computers access county records
By: George Holcomb 06/21/2004
HARRISON--When the Boone County Clerk's Office opened for
business in 1869, the clerk's office began filing paper records in
books and envelopes. When a clerk or anyone else wanted to refer to
any of those records, they dug around in drawers, boxes and heaps
of paper. Pursuit of the paper documents led through a filing system
that often defied and frustrated, and sometimes defeated the
researcher.

Putting records to work
FBI creates a records management organization that helps agents
fight crime
BY Sara Michael
June 21, 2004
In the records management community, they say that the intensity of an agency's interest
in records can be directly tied to how recently the agency experienced a records disaster.
For the FBI, that rule became all too familiar.
Bureau officials took heat a few years ago when 1,000 documents related to the case of
Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for the 1995 bombing of a federal building in
Oklahoma City, were misplaced due to poor management and antiquated systems.

time passes. Over the past year
I have met many wonderful and

Text Messages Could Be Used Against
You
June 20, 2004
By JON SARCHE, Associated Press
A few hours after NBA star Kobe Bryant had sex with a
Vail, Colo.,-area hotel worker last summer, the woman
exchanged cellphone text messages with a former
boyfriend and someone else.
What's in those messages could help determine whether
the sex was consensual or whether Bryant is guilty of rape
as charged. The judge himself said the content may be
"highly relevant" to the case.

Beware the Fading Dye:
Writeable CDs, DVDs
Vary a Lot in Quality
June 21, 2004; Page B1
Writeable CDs and DVDs, now being used millions of times a day to
store everything from corporate tax returns to Little League pictures,
may seem like one of the little wonders of the digital age. This little
wonder, though, has a big problem: No one really knows how long the
discs will last.
Fortunately, a mild-mannered civil servant at a small federal agency is
stepping forward to meet the challenge. His name is Fred Byers, and
while his official title is technical staff member at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology, he could well be called Dr. Disc.

Old Search Engine, the Library, Tries to Fit Into a Google World
By KATIE HAFNER
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 — Katarina Maxianova, who received her bachelor's degree in
comparative literature from Columbia University in May, took a seminar last year in which the
professor assigned two articles from New Left Review magazine. She found one immediately
through Google; for the other, she had to trek to the library stacks.
"Everyone in class tried to get those articles online," she said, "and some people didn't even bother to go
to the stacks when they couldn't Google them."

Management
Making technology work for record management
BY Sara Michael
June 21, 2004
Technology and records managers typically don't understand one another. Historically, a
tension exists between the two camps, but as the disciplines evolve, they are becoming
more intricately linked, and increasing the need for understanding on both sides, analysts
said.
"The problem is [that] records managers and [information technology] people don't talk to
each other, and if they get together they don't know what to say to each other," said
Kenneth Thibodeau, director of the National Archives and Records Administration's
Electronic Records Archives program. "That's still a problem today, and I can't think of a
time since 1975 when it wasn't a problem."
