Hello List Members,

This is being sent again because the list-serv program suggested I resubmit my question. Please excuse the possible doubling posting.

I am looking for advice on the design of an inventory/survey form to capture information about databases at your organizations. I plan to design and use a survey tool to document databases as part of our department's retention schedule process.

A few inventory form examples are available on line and have been very helpful. There appears to be 5 main topic areas that a survey should address:
*..Program & contact identification
*..Description of the database
*..Record access/security
*..System description
*..Retention/disposition

What are members of this list doing to document their organizations databases on retention schedules?  Would you be willing to share/exchange inventory/survey forms with me?

Thank you,
