All these comments are quite interesting and, to some extent, disappointing.
The ARMA competency study has been under way for some time now. It would be
expected that a definition of RM has been determined and that it takes into
account the historical fundamentals of our profession. These should be true
regardless of the size of an organization or how it is organized. Competencies
involve both operational and administrative know-how. In the 'birth to death"
concept of records, it starts when information comes in until its
disposition or preservation. Technology has erased many of the traditional formats and
procedures, evident in the changes to correspondence management, forms
management, reprographics, reports management, library management and the like.
Records management advancement in an organization is dependent upon ones
abilities (competencies) to address all aspects of information and their
relationships within the organization.
Of course you are not expected to go out and buy stamps, but we must be
careful not to dissect the information anatomy.
