Can anyone direct me to good sources, i.e. internet, articles, etc.
regarding filing systems and records retention and disposition?
Specifically, I'm trying to learn more about how to incorporate
retention requirements into an active filing system.  For example, I see
time and time again here at my organization (Univ. of West FL) filing
setup in "alpha order by subject."  And, each subject file ends up
covering several "record series" with perhaps different retention
periods.  This makes purging those files for disposition very difficult
and time consuming.  I want to learn more about filing systems so I can
advise our employees about better ways to set them up....so that they
work for active records retrieval as well as purging for disposition.  

 

Thank you in advance for any references, comments, etc.
