Brent,

That is a good point. Other differences are:

 - Within the same process, records of one media are generated without a
conterpart in the other media.
 - In paper filing, you do not need to name every document you put in
the folder, in electronic filing, of course ...
 - People have different preferences in the breadth & depth of the
screens they want to see in an electronic file folder setup.

Other differences that some of you other folks encounter?

Gary

High level:

Electronic folders can contain "unlimited" numbers of documents/Records.
Paper folders are limited by size as to the number of documents/Records
they can hold.

Therefore different strategies are often employed for filing electronic
vs.
Paper files.

When talking to staff about filing procedures, I have noticed that in
some cases people seem to use a different thought process/logic when
filing certain electronic documents as compared to the thought
process/logic they use when filing their paper counterparts. I was
wondering if anyone else has encountered this phenomenon. I did a search
on the web to see if anything has been written about it, and so far have
come up with nothing.
