Looking at GRS 24 (http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/ardor/grs24.html), I think this question is covered in there *somewhere*. I don't think it's 9a, but I think there are about 6 sections that could reasonably be interpreted to include software licensing - so maybe a bit of fine sanding of the corners. :) Interestingly, there is a note in 24.9 that says, "[*Note*: Copies of records needed to support contracts should be in procurement files, which are scheduled under GRS 3.]" If software licenses meet that, and I think that is reasonable, retention requirement could be 3-6 years after payment. (GRS 3: http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/ardor/grs03.html)<http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/ardor/grs03.html> And on that note, I am back to the grind. :) -- Regards, Jesse Wilkins [log in to unmask] blog: http://informata.blogspot.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jessewilkins List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
