Shan,

You have to look abroad for peer review journals. Folks outside the US
typically have a much older, longer, more developed, history of information
management. IMO, folks in this country that might foot a peer review
journal typically loook at hemselves as being without peer. Makes it a
difficult task. Heck we can't even get a baseline for what a RECORD is,
much less a peer review journal.

 Bill,
My experience is that we as a profession, think nothing as a cohesive group.

To the question of the day. I shall climb back on my soap box (those of you
that have read this before....). In order not go the way of the data
processors we must create a body inclusive in nature that will form the
basis of "information management" in the U.S. and the world. At a minimum
this body must equate to the AMA and/or the ABA.

Universities much graduate students with advanced degrees from programs
accredited by this body. Individuals with a degree would specialize in their
chose information management field. This could be RM, CA, ITS, Forms, etc...

In the area of specialization they would need to certify. In order to call
yourself a Records manager you would need to pass the exams, and the same
for all other "information management" professions.

The core of the body would be a sound code of ethics that is enforceable. We
will never be taken seriously until we can be held accountable
professionally.

The barriers are blurred right now. We need to create a base knowledge that
all professionals in "information management" share. A DBA should not be
shocked to learn that the information in the database is a record and needs
to comply with the retention schedule. An Archivist needs to understand the
nature of databases and the lifecycle of a record in an electronic
environment.

Specialization within the body will allow for survival of the profession.
The world will be a better place for it. This body as it is created will
need to be global in scope and dimension (ask Rick Barry if you think I am
wrong).

Bill Roach can do this in his spare time.
