Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Using nontechnical language, Bantin (Indiana University Office of University Archives and Records Management) explains how information systems capture, store, and manage data, and shows how to adapt information systems for use as recordkeeping systems. Addressing the concerns of archivists and records managers in both the public and private sectors, he looks at commonly used information systems, such as relational databases, data warehouses, decision support systems, and document and content management systems. He provides information on how these systems are designed, reviews their basic architectures, and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the information systems as recordkeeping applications. As part of this analysis, he recommends some options and strategies for transforming these systems into better recordkeeping systems. Some specific topics examined include e-mail management, regulations, and best practices related to electronic records management. In addition to archivists and records managers, the book will be of interest to IT staff, auditors, risk managers, and lawyers. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
