Records Management
Good records management ensures that the right information gets to the right people at the right time for the right purposes. Every department needs to manage its records; the SFU Records Management Program provides the resources and expertise to make that job a little easier.
The Records Management Program
The program provides advice and services relating to records and information management. This includes:
- Developing and implementing records retention schedules (RRSDAs) in consultation with departments.
- Advising departments on records classification and office record-keeping systems.
- Developing information-management policies and procedures.
- Maintaining the Directory of University Records (DUR), which contains information relating to records retention, personal information banks and file classification.
- Operating the University Records Centre (URC) for storage of departmental semi-active records.
- Delivering staff training on records management principles.
- Communicating information about records management to departmental contacts.
- Advising on electronic records management strategies, including information systems, databases, email and multimedia documents.
