Upper  
management is now strongly considering having the departments supply us  
with only a Records Series Number,  RS Name and a general description  
(including date range) of the contents.


In my experience, when this is all the info provided to Records  Management, 
unless RM is going to look into each box to verify contents match  
description, there is huge opportunity for missing  information and  misfiled 
information.  I had a previous client who did this process for  years and then got very 
nervous about destroying boxes without looking into each  one targeted for 
destruction.  They found a mess in about 1800 of their  boxes.  Unknowledgeable 
employess will just put 'stuff" in the boxes  hurriedly to get it gone from 
their area.  
 
I could go on and on, as I am sure you can tell this is a real hot button  of 
mine.
