Good Morning and apologies for cross posting The July edition of Information Overload is now available from our web site - http://www.iea.com.au. This month we take a look at the issues surrounding archiving of web pages. If according to recent definitions a record is "any record of information however recorded." If that is the case then it stands to reason that web pages should also be included in the records management mix and be subject to the same laws and considerations as all other electronic information, whether born digital or not especially if they are "in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transactions of business." AS/ISO 15489. The question is - is anyone managing their web resources as "records" yet? In this issue we will look at: 1. Version control and the web 2. How old is your web site and does it matter? 3. Archiving strategies 4. Does web harvesting breach copyright? 5. Book review 6. A Thought to ponder We would like to thank you in advance for forwarding this edition onto friends, colleagues and other interested readers. Please note that all back issues of this edition, as well as our registrant resources edition can be read and/or downloaded from our web site - http://www.iea.com.au should any of the topics be of interest and use. The July edition of the Registrant Resources edition looks at the benefits (or not) of life in the contract arena. As we say - "with the changes to the Industrial Relations laws - does anyone have a "permanent" job anymore?".
