9:00 am-4:00 pm

Fee: $65.00, plus $10.00 registration fee for non-members attending the

As government agencies, businesses and other institutions deliver
increasing quantities of  information via the World Wide Web, they are
faced with the challenge of identifying, managing and fostering effective
maintenance and use of records created electronically and made available
on Web sites.  Meeting the records management implications of this
development and dealing with the attendant archival issues presents a
particular set of problems.  This full-day workshop will cover the role of
archivists and records managers in confronting these issues.  It will
include coverage of the Internet as a records-transmitting system, the
nature and concept of official records on Web sites, strategies for
archival and records management involvement, and specific strategies for
managing records on Web sites and preserving Web based information of
enduring value.  The workshop leader will be Tom Ruller, New York State
Education Department, Division of Information Technology Services.  When
presented last year at the University of Maryland, this workshop received
high marks for both its vision and applicability.

Instructor: Tom Ruller, New York State Education Department, Division of
