The Guidelines, Laws, and Policies page has been updated with a link to the UW Records Officers Council Digitization Guidelines. These guidelines are intended to provide recommendations for technical specifications, cost-benefit analysis, and access and preservation needs of digitization systems. Any department or office planning to digitize their records for preservation or access is strongly encouraged to peruse these guidelines before doing so.

The General Records Schedules page has been updated with two new UW-System-wide schedules, for business communications and unclassified staff personnel records. The business communications schedule provides guidance to all employees for managing emails, text messages, voicemail, and other forms of electronic communication. The unclassified staff personnel records schedule provides guidance on many kinds of personnel-related records, including the Official P-File, tenure files, I-9 forms, and even course evaluations, and should be read by any University employee who deals with official or unofficial copies of these records. Watch for a seminar on interpreting the personnel records schedule in mid-January.

A note to all units looking to schedule their records that the submission deadline for new Records Description Worksheets will be June 13, 2008, after which point they must go to internal audit for approval. Please contact the records officer or submit your worksheet before that date if possible.

Ten new Records Retention and Disposition Authorities were recently approved by the Public Records Board, in the Office of Student Life and the Department of Sports Medicine. As always, copies of schedules are available on request.

Finally, watch this space for the date for the next RM seminar, dealing with managing email under the new PantherLink client, sometime in mid-July.

 http://www.uwm.edu/Libraries/arch/recordsmgt/index.html June 9, 2008 Welcome to the site! A new look for a new year! Welcome to the new UWM Records Management website. We have tried to make navigation around the site more intuitive, to answer some frequently asked questions about Records Management, and while we're at it, to make the site a little prettier, as well. Comments about the redesign, or about what else you'd like to see on this site, are always welcome. http://www.uwm.edu/Libraries/arch/recordsmgt/index.html Thurs, 27 Dec 2007 Electronic Records Management Seminar, 1/16/08 Start the new year off right by cleaning out your electronic files! This first in a series of workshops on special records management topics will discuss the nature of and proper management of electronic records, which may include emails, word documents, spreadsheets, electronic forms, databases, and even instant messages. Participants will learn how to identify e-records, how to manage and distribute them properly using campus resources, and how to either prepare them for transfer to the archives or dispose of them in a timely and appropriate manner. http://www.uwm.edu/Libraries/arch/recordsmgt/index.html Thurs, 27 Dec 2007 RM Workshop: The Basics of UWM Records Management, November 29, 2007 This workshop, to be held 11/29 at 12:30 in room E281 of the Golda Meir Library, will introduce you to Records Management at UWM: What it is, how it is done, why you should do it, what your responsibilities are, and how the Records Management staff can help. This is a great introduction to employees new to UWM and looking to get off on the right foot, for experienced office managers looking to make sense of their organization and disposition needs, or for anyone in between.
