Fearing this may may have gone before but 'Name of the Rose ' by Umberto Eco must be the classic to demonstrate the power of information control Martin ________________________________ From: The UK Records Management mailing list on behalf of Liz Scott-Wilson Sent: Fri 21/09/2007 13:24 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: RM in cinema. · The Lives of Others - record-keeping being a staple of an effective fascist regime... · Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - who had the notebook?

Again, apologies for cross-posting. Further to my recent enquiry on this list about records management training videos, I am trying now to think of films or television programmes that portray the practice or effects of record keeping (good or bad). I have seen a number of espionage/political thriller films like this, but can't remember any of the titles. I've seen this topic discussed on this list before, so I apologise for returning to the subject again. Can anyone recommend to me, perhaps off list, any films that might illustrate records management fundamentals? Thanks in advance, James Lowry. ________________________________ Watch Today!
