RMS conference - The Local Government Experience

Hi

I thought that I would post a short message about the above theme which will be discussed in more depth at conference.

What can we learn from Local Government will be discussed on Tuesday morning from 11.30 am in Breakout 1.

We shall be looking at delivery of change using EDRMS/Taxonomy management systems/search solutions and integration.

We shall also consider success using the least cost option of time but no financial resources.

Finally, we will also look at issues in generating change. We all know that to put reocrds management on the corporate map is not easy, so we will take stock of the difficulties that lie ahead.

One output from this theme is a Masters dissertation I am writing, titled "Search or Classify". More information to follow but I will be looking at the impact developments in search and retrieval may have upon records management, particularly electronic records management. Will these new developments make some newly acquired skills redundant? Will these developments improve the lot of records managers?

I hope to have developed a questionnaire by the time conference comes around which will assist in data collection. More to follow as this piece of work unfolds

Regards

Paul Dodgson
