<Gosh...while I find all these definitions ever so sexy, what do they
really mean to the average employee? In common English - not in
records-managementeese - what is a record?
 
Is it not something that simply documents or records a specific action
or set of actions to demostrate how we perform our jobs or do business?>

My concern, exactly.  Too many employees are frightened that they don't
understand what a record is.  As a result, they hold onto everything.  I
want a definition that gives them some sense of what it's OK to get rid
of.  Otherwise, what value do I -- our the RIM program -- add to
day-to-day operations?
