- Abstract
- Reports and examines the results of a brief survey of records management training and education in some 26 countries and covering 79 institutions, conducted across the Internet in 1997 by researchers from the Archives and Records Management Programme at the University of Wales at Aberystwyth. Looks at the nees for records management training and education worldwide, and the emergence of the topic as a subset of information management, with an acknowledged impact on the systematic and efficient management of organizations. Suggests the focus of records management has shifted over the recent past from archival management of unwanted documents, to the management of electronic systems, giving records managers equal standing with other professionals in the information management field. Compares records management training in Malaysia and the UK, emphasizing that visiting consultants cannot be a substitute for courses based in universities. The survey revealed there is no standard approach to the training provided by these institutions: some are likely to reflect their archival origins, whilst others represent various streams of information studies
