inForum 2010 - 5-8 September - Gold Coast

 

Registrations close 1st September - only 2 weeks left to register!

 

Here is a small taste of some of the sessions featured in the inForum program:

 

Digital preservation: If knowledge & research cannot ensure successful services & implementation - what then? 

Prof Mariella Guercio, Urbino University, Italy 

Provides an overview of digital preservation, based on the results of research and on best practice. It will include an analysis of the main reasons for the accumulated delay in the last decade in implementing easy, economical and convincing solutions for preserving digital records.

 

Remembering in the Costa Chica: Afro-Mexican communities and non-textual records 

Dr Kelvin White, University of Oklahoma, USA 

Using the Afro-Mexicans community of El Ciruelo, Oaxaca (Mexico) as a case study, the presentation will discuss memory-making in a community that does not solely rely on text-based documents, but rather on oral and kinetic records.

 

Cologne Historical Archives: A story of rescue, courage and community 

Dr Bettina Schmidt-Czaia, Cologne Historical Archives, Germany 

On 3rd March, 2009 at 1:58 p.m. the Historical Archives of the City of Cologne and two neighbouring buildings on Severinstraße collapsed.  The treasures of the Historical Archives - more than 30 kilometres of archive material from the last 11 centuries, the value of which is almost immeasurable - were damaged and, in part, destroyed beyond any restoration.  Thanks to the swift help and the dedicated work of many more than 85% of the items have been salvaged from the rubble. Yet, all of this material will have to undergo intensive conservatory treatment before being usable again.

 

The forgotten RM: What you should know about risk management 

Stephen Macintosh, Dubai Municipality, Dubai and Andrew Warland, City of Sydney, NSW 

Risk management is an important and sometimes critical factor in best practice recordkeeping, often more honored in the breach than the observance.

Why is 'the other RM' so frequently overlooked or disregarded as a proactive recordkeeping strategy in favour of reactive work practices? Why do recordkeepers seem to know so little about the application of risk theory?

 

Information & privacy: Challenges & opportunities 

Matt O'Mara, Wellington City Council, NZ 

Information is a public asset and, protecting privacy is a public good. This paper explores how information management professionals can successfully manage the divergent expectations of their communities and Parliament.

 

Ways to safeguard your records against disasters 

Detlev Lueth, Blue Shield Australia, Vic 

This paper will give a brief introduction to the aims and objective of the BSA and will discuss the focus of disaster preparedness strategies. These strategies help a collecting organisation to deal with risks and which should be integrated into their everyday working structures and activities.

 

Why won't anyone listen? How to market information management 

Angela Summers, Johnson & Johnson Medical, NSW 

Maybe not your conventional view on RIM and taking it to the masses - but who says RIM needs to be or has ever been conventional?  

 

Going for the Holy Grail of information management 

Linda Shave & Greg Navin, City of Ryde, NSW 

This case study will provide you with an insight of the journey so far and discuss how the City of Ryde plans to go for the 'Holy Grail' by introducing 'Virtual Information Mining' in the bid to providing a single view and safeguarding all information assets.

 

You don't knead/need to be a rocket scientist: The search (f)or meaning in classification 

Cathy Ashton, Recordkeeping Innovation, NSW

Charts the discussion and work of IT2109 the records classification subcommittee under the umbrella of Standard Australia. From its initial decision to break away from existing standards relating to vocabulary control and why there was a need to articulate a different conceptual framework for records classification. It also looks at the impact of technology and the changing nature of records and recordkeeping systems, and the effects that this has had on how classification schemes are designed and implemented.

 

These and MANY, MANY MORE topics will be covered.  See the inForum website for the full program which also features 12 additional optional workshops and a large trade exhibition:  www.inforum.net.au
