Electronic Records Management

Strategies and practices for local government. With electronic records come new challenges for records management: risks and liabilities associated with e-mail use, high risk of loss from technical threats, terrorist attacks, or natural disasters, short life expectancy of the hardware and software, higher demand for technical expertise, new concerns with employees who have the freedom to create, store, modify, and delete records, privacy and security issues.
