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.
