Records Management Practice: This program focuses on the challenges facing the records management profession to effectively manage electronic records and to respond to the many forces in a changing information and business environment. The program begins with a consideration of laws affecting records management, and specifically describes the process for researching legislation to determine retention periods. Subsequent classes examine the major components in managing the electronic information of an organization and will provide an understanding of what is involved in developing and managing an electronic records management program and the role of records management in enterprise content management. Trends affecting the practice of records management in a changing environment are discussed in the closing course.
The program expands upon the material covered in the Fundamentals certificate program and is directed towards individuals who have either completed the Fundamentals program or can demonstrate equivalent knowledge through their work history. Instructors in the Practice program will assume that students are already conversant with the topics covered in the Fundamentals program.
