Sessions
A Digital Journey – Dr Know and the Sunshine Coast Regional District – Anne Rathbone and Jordan Uytterhagen – In 2014, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) set an ambitious goal – to purchase and successfully implement an electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) within 1 year. This session will discuss a case study that includes: the development of the request for proposal (RFP) and selection process; the change management for staff, including branding the EDRMS as Dr Know; the software configuration and implementation; and the lessons learned. Follow the SCRD’s digital journey from smooth sailing to stormy seas, as told by two of the travel guides– the consultant implementing the software and the SCRD’s records management technician.
Life After Paper: Selecting an Automated Records System – Brenda Prowse – Are you feeling at a loss about making the leap into selecting an automated records tool? This session will help you wade through the process. From requirements gathering to the RFP process, you will be given practical information on how to begin making your selection. Attendees should leave with a higher level of understanding of the steps involved in obtaining an automated records solution.
Introduction to Managing Information Risk – Jill Teasley & Edwin Yau – Records and information management ( RIM) practitioners are often advised to follow risk management principles to assess information-related risks and prioritize their treatment, but they may not have had exposure to formal risk management methods and practices. This session is intended to help increase RIM practitioners’ knowledge of the application of risk management to the RIM discipline by: Providing an overview of risk management as a discipline and how it relates to various aspects of records and information management; Presenting a practical approach to risk management; And discussing a case study demonstrating the application of a risk management approach to information management.Regaining the Rights to Records: Trusted Online Access to Distributed Digital Holdings – Michele Spelay – The degree of openness of digital government records can often leave records professionals juggling security, transparency and privacy. This is further complicated when records have not been transferred into archival custody, but rather remain with the creating agency. In a time where open government and easy online access to information is expected, do government archives have a leadership role to play in ensuring that public records held outside archival custody are accessible? Citizens should have access to all appropriate public sector information regardless of format or location, and should not have to search the websites of multiple individual agencies to find what they are looking for. How, then, can we make distributed digital holdings available to the public in a user-friend way while still protecting record integrity and personal privacy? This question involves two parts: first we must address the technical requirements for enabling access, ideally in a “one stop shop” model; and second, we must disrupt the cultural barriers surrounding access to digital records and encourage government agencies to actively make records available rather than wait for requests. Success in achieving this vision will rely on the use of standardized metadata, a commitment to proactive release of public sector information, consistent approaches to redaction and rendering of records for public use and the creation and maintenance of search and discovery systems that can harvest metadata and resources across governments. This session explores these questions through a comparative analysis of Australasian government record keeping and suggests that New Zealand sets the precedent for access to digital government records in distributed custody.
eRecord issues, questions, concerns! – A time to bring your concerns, questions and issues with and about electronic records and electronic records management. Since we have a number of skilled and experienced speakers, we are going to squeeze every drop of information and knowledge out of them!
