I agree with Peter. Keep in mind that some IT information may be of archival
value if: 1) it is a core business function of the organization, including
computer code) and 2) whether it is or not to the extent that it is needed for
long-term preservation of electronic records.
All the best to all for 2006,

actually you may want to ask them what processes or functions are they
in control of. Asking them what data they control will have them only
thinking of digital informaition. Ask them how new systems are
approved for implementation. Ask how new systems are designed. More
particularly we need to remember that various types of records are
associated with a process.
Have the IT types describe the work they do. This will lead you to the
type of records they create, use and maintain.
