Quite correct Glen - but sometimes difficult to get the "traditional"
records management folk to think outside the box and enter this new world.

By the way - having just rejoined this listserv - it is nice to see you are
active in the international community as well as the local Australian one.

Tracey

1. Depth of indexing and control

Once apon a time all documents (corro) were indexed (registered)
individually (in big leger books). Gradually this became unworkable so we
started indexing at the container (files) level. Now with technology we can
go back to indexing at the document level again (but far more
effectively)

2. Decentralisation (even within one building)

Once apon a time all documents came and went, internally and externally,
through a central registry. Now with email, fax and LAN's this is
impossible, impractical and undesirable, we have to adapt to a highly
decentralised environment, increasingly in RM we no longer DO things, we set
standards and policy, provide infrastructure and training, do QA etc.

3. and Larry has already mentioned the accessibility / transportability
challenge

Cheers

Glenn

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any previous or
present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked and they'd agreed,
I would have signed it "Bloggs and Co and Glenn". Or whatever. But I
haven't, so I didn't.
