Well,
I just downloaded it and here is some info and my OPINION:
Table of Contents is:
What is it?
Why is it important?
How is a Records Retention Schedule Created?
What Happens if Destroyed Records Are Requested?
Basic Distributed Records Retention Schedule (example)
Detailed Records Retention Schedule with Support (example)
Steps to Success
Implementation
It contains this disclaimer: "*Please Note that this is only a guide, and
that you should check with your legal department prior to implementing your
own Records Retention Program."
All in 6 pages. Actually 4 if you realize the front page and last page
contain no informational content. The Implementation "section" is a
paragraph that contains this direction ... " It is also recommended that
experts in the field such as current AIIM Master designees and Certified
Records Managers (CRM) have tremendous experience with such implementations
and can assist with the design and
implementation of a Records Retention program." Then in directs one to AIIM,
but not ARMA or the ICRM.
My OPINION is that is a nice introduction to the subject and would be good
reading for management, lawyers, and those new to Records Management. It
does not cover thorny issues like legal/regulatory research, integrating a
retention schedule into an ERM system, validating a retention schedule, etc.
It definitely promotes AIIM and its training programs - as would be
expected.
Valuable as a brief introduction.
John

well don't know anything about it since I would have to pay $79, but why not
purchase instead the ANSI/ARMA standard Retention Management for Records and
Information?
*Catalog #:* A4758
*ISBN:* 978-1-931786-26-3
This guideline provides assistance in the establishment and operation of a
retention and disposition program as a component of a complete records and
information management program. It covers general principles, including the
following:
1. authority and responsibility
2. identifying and classifying records for retention purposes
3. principles for determining retention periods for all records on all media
and in all formats
When implemented, the information retention and disposition program will
help ensure compliance with operational, legal/regulatory, fiscal, archival,
and other requirements by defining:
1. periods of time for which records are to be maintained
2. appropriate methods for disposition of records
3. measures to be taken when disposition must be suspended
available in pdf or softcover
$60 for non-members, $40 for ARMA members
