Omschrijving

This dynamic book considers whether and how the
management of records (and archives) differs from the management of information
(and data).

Can archives and records management still make a
distinctive contribution in the 21st century, or are they now being dissolved
into a wider world of information governance? What should be our
conceptual understanding of records in the digital era? What are the practical
implications of the information revolution for the work of archivists and
records managers?

Geoffrey Yeo, a distinguished expert in the global
field, explores concepts of 'records' and 'archives' and sets today's
record-keeping and archival practices in their historical context. He
examines changing perceptions of the nature and purpose of records management
and archival work, notions of convergence among information-related
disciplines, and archivists' and records managers' attitudes to information and
its governance.
Starting with Peter Morville's dictum that 'when we try
to define information, we become lost in a hall of mirrors', Yeo considers
different understandings of the concept of 'information' and their
applicability to the field of archives and records management. He also
looks at the world of data science and data administration, and asks whether
and how far recent work in this area can enhance our knowledge of how records
function and how they relate to the information universe.

Key topics covered include:

The keeping of
records: a brief historical overview

Thinking about
records and archives: the transition to the digital

Archivists,
records managers and the allure of information

Finding a way
through the hall of mirrors: concepts of information

Records and
data

Why records are
not (just) information; understanding records in the digital era.

This thought provoking and timely book is primarily
intended for records managers and archivists, but should also be of interest to
professionals in a range of information-related disciplines. In addressing the
place of record-keeping in contemporary information culture, it aims to
provide a balance of theory and practice that will appeal to practitioners as
well as students and academics around the world.
