- Abstract
- Discusses the skills and competencies required by contemporary records managers. The role of the records manager has recently gained a higher profile - due to increasing legislation (resulting from various corporate scandals worldwide) requiring organisations to focus an the integrity, currency and accessibility of their records. Case studies are included in the book to indicate the wide range of activities undertaken by records managers. The book addresses the skills and competencies required by records managers and considers how these are acquired and developed. Using guidance, actions plans can be developed by the reader. Using research undertaken by the author, a sample of roles currently undertaken is evaluated in detail to provide examples of the competencies and skills required for each role.
