State Archivist Steve Excell will convene a work group of the eight state agencies that generate the most paper records, and the Secretary of State office, which is the repository of those records. They will review methods of retaining records for shorter periods of time, and in electronic formats. Secretary of State Kim Wyman asked for language in the 2014 supplemental budget to mandate the study because paper-based records are growing faster than the SOS office’s capacity to store them. The Legislature set a goal to reduce the volume of stored paper records by 10 percent by the end of 2016, and another 10 percent by the end of 2018. orylink=cpy http://bit.ly/1kvZbti http://bit.ly/1kvZbti+ http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2014/04/15/3589516/move-toward-a-paperless-government.html?sp=/99/122/ -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers 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.
