Spring Records Management Training

Records management training focused on basic principles and off-site records storage will be offered this spring.

An Introduction to Records Management will be offered twice, on February 24 and March 21. This course covers the basic tenets of a records management program. Using the records lifecycle as a framework, this class looks at effectively managing records in office, using the University retention schedules, reporting destruction of records, and transferring records with historic value to the University Archives.

A second course, Out of Sight, But Not Out of Mind: Off-Site Records Storage will be offered on April 6. This course reviews the procedures for transferring records to Access, Emory’s off-site storage vendor. Topics include boxing records appropriately, entering required information into the vendor’ s web system, FileLineAccess, ensuring boxes are properly identified, and tracking and destroying records when eligible.
