Dear all There are some important debates going on as regards managing records created in SharePoint. In particular there is the question of whether organisations are better off using: - in-place records management' within SharePoint - the SharePoint records centre - third party tools such as EDRM systems to plug into SharePoint I think it is important that records managers discuss and critique different case studies as they become available. I recently heard Mark Field from the Department of Education speak about their implementation of SharePoint for collaboration and their use of the SharePoint records centre for records management. Here is a link to a blogpost I've written with some thoughts on their approach http://thinkingrecords.co.uk/2011/03/10/thoughts-on-the-department-for-educations-sharepoint-implementation/ with best wishes James 07595 998457 To view the list archives go to: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK To unsubscribe from this list, send an email to [log in to unmask] with the words UNSUBSCRIBE RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK For any technical queries re JISC please email [log in to unmask] For any content based queries, please email [log in to unmask]
