Many law firm libraries, including mine, own this publication, as it is
published by a well-known, reputable legal publisher and it's geared
towards records retention programs in corporate environments.  Lawyers
use it for reference in assisting their corporate clients.   The
purchase also includes a subscription to a newsletter which treats a
different subject-specific aspect of records retention every month.

Subject: Guide to Records Retention

Our Chief Legal Counsel dropped off a flyer advertising "Guide to
Records Retention", written and sold by Business Laws, Inc.  This is a 3
volume set selling for $325, and is updated annually.  Although I've not
come across this publication in the past, it seems prudent to consider
adding it to our library of resources.  I've reviewed the table of
contents and Googled the individually-named authors, but I was wondering
if anyone out is listserv land has seen this publication and would you
recommend it, or not.

The link to the specific publication is:

When I was Googling the authors, I found a paper of possible interest
written by Ladd A. Hirsh.  The paper is titled "Document Retention and
Destruction: Issues in a Post Sarbanes-Oxley World".  This paper offers
a model document retention policy that I found interesting, especially
coming from an attorney.  The link to this paper is:
