Everyone has made excellent points about the history of records
management. I am currently an Information Studies student at the
University of Toronto and Records Management is more closely related
to the archives/IS stream rather than the library stream in our
program. But it is an excellent course to have regardless of which
area you may specialize.
Quoting "Nemchek, Lee R." <[log in to unmask]>:
> I agree with what Ginny and others have said regarding the historical

> taught out of these schools, as there generally is no university-level
> School of Records Management.
