Hello RMRT!
On Thursday, December 3 at 8 pm ET, the SAA Students and New Archives
Professionals Roundtable
<http://www2.archivists.org/groups/students-and-new-archives-professionals-snap-roundtable>
will
be hosting a joint Twitter chat with the SAA Records Management Roundtable
Steering Committee
<http://www2.archivists.org/groups/records-management-roundtable> and its
members. This chat will allow students and new archivists to gain knowledge
about records management directly from those engaged in this work. Our goal
is not only to introduce students to this field, but also to facilitate
dialog and understanding among SNAPers and records management professionals
of all experience levels.
We would like this chat to be as conversational as possible! SNAPers can
engage in the chat by:
- responding to main questions based on their own knowledge and
experience
- posing their own questions related to the main questions during the
discussion
- following up on others’ responses with their own thoughts and further
questions
We welcome everyone to join or keep up with our chat using the #snaprt
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/snaprt> hashtag on Twitter. The SNAP
Roundtable Twitter account will pose main questions such as:
- How is the work of records managers different from archivists in
various contexts, such as academia, government, and business?
- What do records managers find most challenging about their work or
this field?
- What do records managers find most enjoyable and exciting about their
own work or this field?
- What conceptual knowledge and skills are important for students to
develop and how should they go about pursuing them?
- What personal goals related to records management are #snaprt
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/snaprt> chatters pursuing?

*Definition of Records Management based on the Federal definition:*
Records management is the planning, controlling, directing, organizing,
training, promoting, and other managerial activities involved in the
creation, maintenance and use, and disposition of information. Records
management aims to achieve adequate and proper documentation of the
policies and work of an organization and effective and economical
management of operations.
