Introduction to Records and Information Management

Course Overview

This course serves as an introduction to the responsibilities of archivists, records managers, and librarians working in today’s business, government, and non-governmental organization environments, particularly the theoretical principles, methodologies, and practical administration of such programs.

The course emphasizes the history and changing nature of records and recordkeeping systems, particularly those changes influenced by technology. 

Students are introduced to the diversity of records created and preserved from the past and those created, used, and retained in the present.  Specific problems of archival appraisal, the organization of and access to archives containing historical manuscript collections, and the management, and preservation of non-print records such as photographs and electronic records will be briefly addressed as they are treated in more detail elsewhere in the Archives curriculum.
