Eielson’s Administrative Record (AR) and Information Repository (IR) on base were re- organized and indexed to allow for easier record searching. Since the AR was converted to electronic copy in 2011, the updated electronic copy had not yet been provided to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Rasmusson Library to replace the hard copy system, which contained mostly records no longer included in the AR. On 11 June 2012, the library was provided two sets of the AR electronic collection, one to remain in the library at all times for use on the library’s public computers and printers; the second copy is available for circulation. Each set of the collection contains three DVDs of the most current AR files (1–565), and one CD that contains the Eielson AR Index, an Eielson AR Fact Sheet, a Site and OU List, and a User Guide to aid the public with searching the records index. The hard copies from Rasmusson Library were removed and stored on base for long-term recordkeeping. Attached is an updated AR Index with new entries 566-673. These files are undergoing preparation for inclusion in the AR, which includes setting security permissions on each file and utilizing optical character recognition (OCR) software to recognize text in each file. This process is anticipated to be completed by end of July and parties will be notified when files are available on SharePoint for download. Developing documentation for a filing system for maintaining the records electronically utilizing SharePoint. The updated AR files will be provided to regulatory parties on SharePoint once file preparation and documentation development is completed, anticipated to be completed by end of July.
