Managing Electronic Records Issues

21 Jun 2005

Discussion paper written by State Records of South Australia April 1998.

Records are increasingly being created, stored and managed electronically. The tools which enable this are extremely versatile and confer major benefits. Electronic records can be created and managed rapidly; they can be found quickly and related easily to other information as part of an organisation?s knowledge; and in their compact format they are no longer a bulky accommodation problem. However, this versatility also contains substantial risks to effective management of such records. They often lack the clearly organised structure usually present in traditional format records, and their very format lacks durability.
