Hi Folks,
The list of the 100 Best Records Management Resources on the Web (V1.00) is now complete. Thanks go to Paul Duller, Mike Merifield, Mark Fresco, Heather Jack, Karen Donegani, Lucy Fincham, Gillian Butler, Jenny Lynn, Stefanie Davidson, Samira Teuteberg, Alison Marsh, Charlotte Burgess; and Jane Proffitt for helping to compile the current list, and to Andy Maurice for quality checking all of the links provided.

Best wishes,
Paul
