For what it is worth, when I attended graduate school for archives and
public records management in the 1980s one of the first things imparted to
me in my first Records and Information Management course, led by a former
U.S. Archivist, was that the management of copies, duplicates, including
security copies, and the equipment upon which they were reproduced was an
inherent and vital part of any Records and Information Management program.
It is elemental, Watson.

to Learn From
Good afternoon,
Bill Benedon said: "NO! NO! NO! Inside the box. One of the fundamental
requirements of a well organized RIM program is the management of copying
equipment and its use."
I'm curious as to how many of us in Listserv land actually have included
guidelines/standards/procedures, etc. on the management of copying equipment
in your records programs? I must admit that I don't now, and have never had
any RM-related materials on copying equipment and usage in past RM positions
I've held. While I respect Mr. Benedon (we've met once, but I mostly know
of him by his impressive reputation), I don't know of any RIM programs that
includes something like this.
It's got me to thinking enough so that I've just added this item to my "to
do" list for 2011.
Thanks.
Earl
