Successful bids under this JISC Programme have now been announced and
individual projects will be completed by December 2003. Although focussed on
UK HE/FE the programme and individual projects across records management and
digital preservation are likely to be of wider interest.
The aim of this programme is to help both FE and HE institutions to implement
institutional records management programmes that will meet the requirements
of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) and conform to established good
practice for the management of records and digital assets throughout their
lifecycle. This programme builds upon several existing JISC initiatives,
especially the <A HREF="http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=recordsman_papers_cycle">Study of the Records Lifecycle</A> and the creation of the <A HREF="http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=reports_modelaction">Model
Action Plan</A> for Achieving Compliance with the Lord Chancellor’s Code of
Practice on Records Management.
A core theme of the programme is embedding theoretical models of good
practice within the community by drawing on the experience of actual
institutions.The studies and initiatives being funded are intended to help
raise the profile of records management within the community and to provide
practical advise and guidance as to how institutions should begin or further
develop their own institutional programmes. The studies and initiatives are
intended to achieve this by addressing this issue at a variety of levels,
from strategic planning to practical training for staff.It is also intended
that the range of initiatives in this progamme will be of relevance and
practical value to all staff employed by FE and HE institutions who have
responsibility for managing records, professionally trained or otherwise.
