The Seven Attributes of an Effective Records Management Program Introduction Records are a basic tool of government administration. Records provide information for planning and decision making, form the foundation for government accountability, and are often subject to specific legal requirements. Records are essential for effective and efficient administration, but if poorly managed they can become a liability, hampering operations and draining resources. An effective records management1 program helps an organization get the most out of its records. It also helps limit costs and the risks that can come with poorly managed records. An effective records management program has certain characteristics or attributes; The New York State Archives has identified seven such attributes of an effective records management program. Records managers can assess the effectiveness of their programs by the presence or absence of these attributes. A government office has an effective records management program when the office . • . creates the records it needs, and none that it doesn’t. Records are efficiently created in the normal course of business for all functions sufficient to satisfy legal, fiscal, administrative, and other recordkeeping requirements. • . retains the records needed as essential evidence and gets rid of obsolete records. Records are retained and usable for as long as required for legal or business purposes, and then efficiently disposed of or preserved as archives to support secondary uses. • . .stores its records—especially archival records—safely and securely. Records are stored and maintained in a safe, secure, cost-effective fashion to support retention, access, and archival preservation where applicable. • . retrieves information quickly through efficient access and retrieval systems. Records systems provide effective and efficient retrieval and access to records, to support use by the creating organization and by the public as appropriate under law. • . uses the right information technology for the right reasons. Appropriate uses are made of information technology to store, retrieve, make available, and use records. _________ 1 For a definition of this and other records management and archival terms, see the glossary at the back of this publication. The Seven Attributes of an Effective Records Management Program 1 • . promotes and supports the use of archival records as a community resource. Appropriate secondary use of records by public and other entities is supported and promoted. • . recognizes through policy and procedure that records management is everyone’s job. Ongoing records management goals and priorities are integrated through the organization and its operations as part of the normal course of business. The following is an elaboration of each of these attributes, along with some indicators that can help records managers determine whether and to what degree each of these attributes exists in a program. Records Creation Many records management programs manage existing records well. Unfortunately, records management often is not effective during the time that records are being created. This can lead to redundant records, lack of clearly identified official copies, and insufficient records for audits or litigation. An effective records management program is one that creates all the records it needs, and none that it does not need. Here are some indications of effective records creation: • Records are sufficient for audits. • Unneeded records and copies are kept to a minimum. • Official copies of records are identified. • Records are available for litigation. • New York State Archives guidelines and other professional standards are used in records creation. Warren County is a good example of a government with effective records creation as an integral part of its records management program. Adherence to county policies and state regulations ensure that county departments have the records needed for audits. The county also keeps an inventory of all records on computer—this helps track retention periods and locations of official copies of records. The records management department has completed needs assessments of recordkeeping in various departments, and has used one assessment to institute major improvements in the creation of social services case files. Lastly, guidance from the records management department helps the county control production of unnecessary records and copies. 2 The Seven Attributes of an Effective Records Management Program Records Retention and Disposition Proper records retention and disposition is key to an effective records management program. It ensures that records are present when needed for litigation, audits, day-to-day business purposes, or historical research, but that unneeded records do not take up costly storage space. Regular and systematic disposition of records according to a State Archives retention schedule provides evidence that records which no longer exist were not destroyed to avoid their use as evidence in court or to evade Freedom of Information requests. Some indications that a good retention program is in place include: • Archival records are identified early in their life cycle. • Retention schedules are adopted and used in the normal course of business. • Office retention schedules are developed and used. • Records are systematically disposed of. • Electronic records are retained and disposed of according to retention schedules. • Plans are in place to ensure that electronic records continue to be accessible following technology changes. • Disposition is routinely documented. The Town of Ledyard in Cayuga County is a good example of a local government with effective records retention practices. As RMO, the town clerk oversees the legal disposition of obsolete records as an annual, routine business practice. This is particularly important because the town’s inactive records vault has limited space available—there is no room for unneeded records, but there is room for records that might be needed for litigation, audits, or documentation of the rights and obligations of town residents. Records Storage and Maintenance One sure sign that an organization has an effective records management program in place is that it stores and maintains its records securely and efficiently. Cost-effective,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In August 2005, the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) and the Smithsonian Institution Archives (SIA) launched the three-year Collaborative Electronic Records Project (CERP) to de- velop the methodology and technology for managing and preserving the born-digital mate- rials in archival collections. The project’s primary objectives were to produce management guidelines and technical preservation capability that would enable archives and manuscript repositories to make electronic information accessible and usable for future researchers, and to share findings and products with depositors, peer institutions, and other interested non- profit groups. Differences between the SIA and RAC contributed to the CERP’s applicability to a wide range of institutions. The SIA is both the institutional archives and the Smith- sonian’s records manager, serving all of the contributing units.

  • Guidance for Planning an Enterprise-Wide Electronic Records
    National Archives and Records Administration E-Gov Electronic Records Management Initiative Recommended Practice: Developing and Implementing an Enterprise-wide Electronic Records Management (ERM) Proof of Concept Pilot March 2006 1 Recommended Practice: Developing and Implementing an Enterprise-wide Electronic Records Management (ERM) Proof of Concept Pilot A proof of concept pilot project is an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of Electronic Records Management (ERM) software on a small area and in a controlled manner. A pilot project is an excellent risk mitigation strategy for an agency planning to implement a ERM system. It can also serve to inform or resolve an alternatives analysis for an agency during the investment planning phase. The pilot helps determine whether the software is appropriate for use by the agency and how easily it can be configured, providing hands-on experience for records managers, information technology (IT) personnel, and users. This document applies the principles and “best practices” of IT project management to a proof of concept demonstration pilot for ERM whose purpose is to assess whether the solution should be deployed agency-wide. Based on the experiences of ERM pilot projects at the state and federal level, this document can be used by agencies as a reference when they assemble pilot project teams, develop work plans, and solicit participants for an ERM pilot project. It is composed of six sections, followed by an Appendix of Resources for Conducting a Pilot Project: 1. Introduction 2. Application of this Guidance Document 3. Planning the Successful Pilot 3.1 Preliminary Activities 3.1.1 Defining the Purpose, Goals, and Objectives of the Pilot 3.1.2 Establishing Success Criteria 3.1.3 Outlining the Benefits of a Pilot Project 3.1.4 Defining the Scope and Duration 3.1.5 Setting up Administrative Infrastructure and Writing the Work Plan 3.1.6 Minimizing Risks Associated with Pilot Projects 3.2 Conducting the Pilot 3.3 Evaluating the Pilot 4.

  • STATEMENT of WORK Records Management Project 1
    Records Management IAEA Statement of Work Project RFP 46268-SIS Dated 2017-11-24 STATEMENT OF WORK Records Management Project 1. Background The International Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter referred to as the “IAEA”) operates its records management services through the Archives and Records Management Section (ARMS). Both, internal and external audits conducted in 2016, have noted significant inefficiencies inherent to the paper workflows, and pointed to the challenges encountered by ARMS to meet new and ever-growing requirements for the proper handling of digital information and its carriers. Both audit reports pointed to the necessity of revising the current Records Management Programme which consists of the Record Keeping Policy, the Records Retention Schedule, the IAEA File Plan, the ARM Handbook, and other guidelines. The IAEA’S Record Keeping Policy defines the ARMS mandate as “to guarantee the management and preservation of authentic and reliable records”. However, this policy lacks detail and consistency and ignores the existence of hybrid documentation such as hard copies, digital documents, databases or datasets which are functionally linked in and to business processes. The current policy framework and its implementation bear the signs of the 1990s when digital information was considered to be an exception, or a simple set of copies of the records’ paper version. The IAEA operates six (6) departments with over 2.500 staff members who generate and distribute documents and records as part of their daily routine. Page 1 of 7 Records Management IAEA Statement of Work Project RFP 46268-SIS Dated 2017-11-24 2.
