Well call me old school, but I prefer to recognize the value of a record
within an organization. I operate upon the premise that there are four
values historical, administrative, fiscal, and legal.
I was taught that not all documents are records but all records are
documents
I try to stay away from the nature of records records because it invariably
leads the nature V.S. nurture argument. When does a good record go bad and
why? A good thread but not he one we are looking at?
