Dear List,
As part of a review of our Records Management and Archive service, I’d be very interested to hear from anyone with experience of implementing a ‘bucket’ approach to retention scheduling in a large organisation. Many articles outline the basic ideas, but some areas remain unclear. Can this approach only work for function based scheduling (ours is largely departmental based)?
Secondly, we are also exploring various options for disposing of electronic records, focusing on matters of risk and responsibilities. A question that has been raised is whether a records manager should be personally involved in the actual disposal (deleting files), or whether it is enough to alert departments that they need to undertake this task and obtain confirmation? Whilst originals may be deleted by the originating departments according to the retention schedule, copies may exist all over the organisation – how is this handled?
Any thoughts would be most welcome …
