Imagine a records management (RM) future where the user community
collectively describes the value and properties of a record using
the wisdom of the crowd; where records retention, description and
purpose are determined by their users, within general boundaries
defined by the records manager. It may sound far-fetched, but could
represent a way forward for managing records. It has never been
more apparent that RM as traditionally practised will soon no
longer be fit for purpose. With the increasing plurality of
information sources and systems within an organization, as the
deluge of content increases, so the percentage of the
organization's holdings that can be formally classed as records
declines. In the Web 2.0 world new technology is continually
changing the way users create and use information. RM must change
its approach fundamentally if it is to have a role to play in this
new world. This provocative new book challenges records managers to
find time amidst the daily operational pressures to debate the
larger issues thrown up by the new technological paradigm we are
now entering, and the threat it poses to established theory and
practice. A range of stimulating ideas are put up for discussion:
why not, for instance, embrace folksonomies rather than
classification schemes and metadata schemas as the main means of
resource discovery for unstructured data? Adopt a ranking system
that encourages users to rate how useful they found content as part
of the appraisal process? Let the content creator decide whether
there should be any access restrictions on the content they have
created? Readership: This is a thought-provoking book which
questions received wisdom and suggests radical new solutions to the
very real issues RM faces. Every records manager needs to read this
challenging book, and those that do may never think about their
profession in quite the same way again.
