Records Management Society – Local Government Group The next meeting of the Local Government Group will take place on Friday July 20th at the Westminster Archives Centre. The theme of the day will be all aspects of e-mail management. I am currently putting the agenda together and as always would welcome offers of help to run the day. It has been suggested that we start the day with a debate about the benefits of e-mail archiving versus the benefits of managing e-mail within a full-blown EDRMS. I would appreciate any offers to present both sides of the case (it would involve presentations of no more than 30 minutes each) This would be followed by break-out sessions to discuss the different elements of e-mail management and will be the opportunity to share good practice and to discuss the issues. I would like to make the groups smaller than last time so I need about 12 volunteers to facilitate or assist facilitation of the groups. [As last time I will collect the feedback to post on the web-site]. After lunch, it has been suggested that the break out groups are challenged to produce ideas for 10 minute presentations to explain records management at an induction. The results of this could also be posted on the web site. I would need some volunteers (who may be different to the people facilitating the earlier break out sessions) to facilitate these groups. Finally, I would like to end with the panel discussion, which would aim to cover e-mail management issues. I would like some volunteers to sit on the panel. If you would like to volunteer or to attend the meeting, please contact me off list on [log in to unmask] The meeting is open to all, but preference will be given to RMS members, please tell me whether or not you or your organisation is a member when you contact me. I’ll look forward to hearing from you all.
