INTRODUCTION TO RECORDS MANAGEMENT



What is records management? Records Management is a process for the systematic management of the records that the University creates and receives during the course of its business. It controls records in all formats from creation through their maintenance and to their disposal. As records and information are corporate resources, it is important that these records are managed effectively in order to benefit the University.

WHY WE NEED RECORDS MANAGEMENT?

A records management programme will bring many benefits to the organization including:

    Better use of physical and server space
    Better use of staff time
    Improved retrieval systems in place
    Reduction in duplication
    Compliance with legislative requirements and standards
    Protection against litigation
    More effective management and control of information resources
    Better delivery of service
    Preservation of corporate memory
