Study Notes
Records Management Systems
- A record is any data, such as text, numbers, images, or voice, kept for reference.
- Records management systems are processes for organizing, storing, retrieving, removing, and disposing of records.
- Records life cycle includes creation, classification, maintenance, and disposition phases.
- Creation happens when information becomes a record.
- Classification involves organizing records logically.
- Maintenance is needed as records are used.
- Disposition includes archives, transfer to storage, and destruction.
- Records are categorized by usefulness (vital, important, useful, nonessential).
- Vital records are essential, irreplaceable (original copies of deeds, copyrights, mortgages).
- Important records are needed for business operations, often expensive to replace (tax returns, personnel files, cancelled checks).
- Useful records are replaceable, convenient (letters, purchase orders, supplier information).
- Nonessential records have limited value (meeting announcements, advertisements).
- Each record has a life cycle: creation, distribution, use, maintenance and disposition.
