Cost: £129.25 per participant (incl. VAT at 17.5%)

This training course is a more in-depth handling of the principles
and practice of records management in the modern hybrid paper and
digital environment. Thus the course sets out the principles and
practices behind good records management regardless of the media
of the material.

Managing Paper and Digital Records builds on the Records
Management Overview session in the Basic Archive Skills Training
Day and assumes this baseline understanding of the subject.
Participants who have not attended the Basic Archive Skills
training will be provided with relevant pre-course reading. With
this proviso, this training is suitable for anyone setting up a
records management programme and for all staff working in records
centres.

Morning sessions cover the necessary components of a Records
Management programme and an overview of particular issues such as
legislation, standards, storage and preservation and how to deal
with paper and digital systems in an integrated way. In the
afternoon there will be a case study to illustrate practical
implementation of a records management system followed by
workshops.

This course has been re-designed for 2004, reflecting both
feedback from participants and the on-going experience and
research of the Directors. Its focus on a case study and workshops
together with an initial quiz is intended to deepen participants'
knowledge and understanding and to give a thorough grounding in
the challenges and techniques of managing records in the modern
hybrid environment. The course is presented and facilitated by
Margaret Crockett and Janet Foster.

The course fee of £129.25 (incl. VAT) includes a course handbook
with supporting notes and useful sources for further information.
The fee also includes lunch (with vegetarian option; please let
the directors know if you have any other special dietary needs)
and tea and coffee.
