Everyone creates records in the course of doing their jobs, and in today’s increasingly digital office environment those records are likely to be in electronic formats. Managing electronic records can be challenging—there may be multiple copies in various locations, a lack of appropriate storage, or records may be in difficult formats such as email. Susan Hernandez, Digital Archivist and Systems Librarian at the Cleveland Museum of Art, will provide an overview of electronic records management, discuss strategies for organizing and managing electronic records, and offer ideas for collaborating with information technology professionals.
