With Apologies for cross-posting: Please note that we will be running the course in Edinburgh on the 28th April (details @ http://www.archive-skills.com/training/2005/28-4.php) Managing Paper and Digital Records Date: Thuesday 22 March 2005 Venue: The Meeting Place, 32 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HX 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 focuses on a case study and workshops together with an initial quiz which are 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 fee of £129.25 (with 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.
