I think one of the biggest differences in today's world (electronic vs.
paper) is metadata and bridging the gap between IT and RIM
Professionals.  

Then of course, E-mail and IM has created another world of concern for
RIM professionals, not to mention the legal ramifications that have
gotten so many folks in trouble.

Ginny:

Could you elaborate a little on the differences in approach and
methodologies in applying RIM principles to electronic information? 

<It is just necessary to adjust the methodology for applying the
concepts.  
... Determining a records series and its four values is different from
paper counterparts.  
... Determining vital records and classifications and priorities is
applied differently than for paper and manual system counterparts.  
... Determining electronic file "classifications" and organizing
electronic documents, files, folders, tables, databases, etc. into
efficient hierarchies requires different methodologies than paper
counterparts.>
