Recordkeeping Cultures explores how an understanding of
organisational information culture provides the insight necessary
for the development and promotion of sound recordkeeping practices.
The book is a fully revised and expanded new edition of the
authors’ 2014 book Records Management and Information Culture:
Tackling the people problem. It details an innovative framework for
analysing and assessing information culture, and indicates how to
use this knowledge to change behaviour and develop recordkeeping
practices that are aligned with the specific characteristics of any
workplace. This framework addresses the widely recognised problem
of improving organisation-wide compliance with a records management
programme by tackling the different aspects that make up the
organisation’s information culture. Discussion of topics at each
level of the framework includes strategies and guidelines for
assessment, followed by suggestions for next steps: appropriate
actions and strategies to influence behavioural change. This new
edition has been fully revised and update to greatly enhance the
practical application of the information culture concept in both
formal and informal recordkeeping environments and contains new
chapters on: diagnostic features: genres, workarounds and
infrastructure workplace collaboration: how to analyse
collaborative practices in organisations (including recordkeeping)
education: how to teach information culture concepts and methods in
archives and records management graduate programmes. Archivists,
records managers and information technology specialists will find
this an invaluable guide to improving their practice and solving
the ‘people problem’ of non-compliance with records management
programmes. LIS students taking archives and records management
modules will also benefit from the application of theory into
practice. Records management and information management educators
will find the ideas and approaches discussed in this book useful to
add an information culture perspective to their curricula.
