Kelvin Smith

Public Sector Records Management

A Practical Guide

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Records management has undergone significant change in recent years, due to the introduction of freedom of information legislation as well as the development of e-government and e-business and the need to manage records effectively in both the private and public sector. There are very few purely practical texts for records managers and this book aims to fill that gap.

Rezensionen

'...a very good reference tool...its strength, I believe, lies in its applicability to relative newcomers to RM: to the archivist or other member of staff asked to undertake a records audit, to a newcomer to the public sector or to a newly qualified or recently promoted member of staff, all of whom would be bound to find this book a real gem.'
