Toolkits for Advancing Practice

Dr Julie McLeod, Professor of RM, Northumbria University, UK (and 2008
Convention Keynote Speaker)

Today a wealth of tools exists to help organizations better manage their
records. They range from standards to schemes, methods to models. But
are they adopted or do organizations adapt to them? Are we analyzing
their appropriateness and acting on our experiences to advance both
principles and practice? What is the dynamic between research and
practice? These questions will be explored in the context of some UK
projects involving practitioners.
Specific tools considered include ISO 15489, plus associated guidelines,
and records management capacity and compliance toolkits. Current work on
advancing practice and accelerating the pace of change in managing
electronic records will also be considered.

Panel Discussion - Addressing Skill Shortages in RIM

Dr Julie McLeod, Northumbria University
Dr Margaret Pember, Curtin University
Gail Murphy, Information Enterprises Australia

Is the records and information industry facing a future skill shortage?
If so why and what can be done to prevent or reduce it? Is the potential
skill shortage an international issue? These questions (and others) will
be discussed in this interesting panel discussion led by three highly
respected industry professionals, which will encourage participation
from the audience.
