Paul-

First, I'd like to say WOW... and thanks to NAGARA for creating this portal
as a resource for the RM community.   There are a lot of well written and
researched papers in here, and some presentations that would make great
starting points for others in developing materials specific to their
organization's needs.

One thing that should be noted for consideration by those viewing the
materials is many of these are specific to certain states and local
jurisdictions, so make sure you keep that in mind when reviewing the
materials on this site.  The guidance MAY NOT apply to your industry,
business sector, location, etc... but it is still a good starting point that
allows you to research specific requirements for YOUR conditions.

Another thing is to be sure you check the dates of the publications, as some
are "fresher" than others.  And while many of the practices and principles
may not have changed much, some of them related to technology, preservation,
capture, conversion, etc may need to be validated prior to use as these
things change regularly.

Thanks to NAGARA for providing this resource... I think it will only grow to
become richer and better over time as more materials are added to it!
