Dear Listserv members

I am trying to understand how other organizations are managing their 
electronic records and what the "tipping point" is for purchasing a 
technology solution. I would very much appreciate feedback on the following 
questions and would be happy to compile a report for all who are interested.

1. Does your organization use a records management software or technology 
specifically to manage the electronic records? If yes, what are you using 
and why did you select this technology? E.g. what are its capabilities

2. What kind of effort has been made to train employees on the retention 
and disposition of records using this system?

3. What does a new employee find out about record keeping when he/she 
starts at your organization?

4. Does everyone who creates electronic files have a responsibility to 
manage their electronic records?

5. If you are using a manual process (policy, procedures and guidance) with 
no electronic records management software, how do you audit the integrity 
of individual record keeping efforts?

6. Does anyone have a method for managing all formats of records including 
paper, other media, electronic documents, email etc?

7. What concerns you most about the management of electronic records?
