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.>

Thanks
