Retention policies need to balance legal and historical requirements - FierceContentManagement after talking to consultant Cheryl McKinnon <http://candystrategies.com/about/>from Candy Strategies last week at the ARMA International Conference and Expo<http://www.arma.org/conference/2011/WashingtonDC.aspx>, I began to rethink my own position that getting rid of mundane stuff like lunch menus from the cafeteria really made sense. McKinnon has a history background and she rightly pointed out that those menus are part of the historical record. If in a hundred years, researchers wanted to know what types of food people ate in the early 2000s at a company called Google, they might be able to do that if the menus existed. http://bit.ly/vkVgzU Source: http://www.fiercecontentmanagement.com/story/retention-policies-need-balance-legal-and-historical-requirements/2011-10-25 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/vkVgzU+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
