Professor Richard J. Cox has published a new book,
Managing Records as Evidence and Information - Quorum
Books,
which explores the fundamental principles supporting
the setting of records and archives policies. This
book considers the fundamentals of archives and records
management needing to be understood before any organization
attempts to define and set any policy affecting records
and information. The chapters concern defining records,
how information technology plays into policy compiling,
the fundamental tasks of identifying and maintaining
records as critical to records and information policy,
public outreach and advocacy as a key objective for
such policy, and the role of educating records professionals
in supporting sensible records policies.
