I think it was me who mentioned the report. It is entitled 'Study of the Records Lifecyle', published by JISC in June 1999. It sets out a function/activity model for universities, with suggested retention schedules for different types of record produced within each of the core business functions. It is the second report arising from a comprehensive study of archiving policies in HE institutions (the first report being 'Study of the Archival Records of British Universities', October 1997). The project was undertaken by a consultant, Elizabeth Parker, for a company called TFPL Ltd on behalf of JISC. I can't find anything about it on the JISC website so maybe someone from JISC can provide further details on how to obtain copies of the report? --------------- Begin original message ---------------- | From: "Sarah Cowburn" <[log in to unmask]> | Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 16:01:56 -0000 | Subject: Function list? | To: [log in to unmask] | Reply-To: [log in to unmask] | | | Hello | A colleague of mine attended the JISC seminar last Friday at the | British Library.
