Continuing professional development for the information discipline of records management. Part 2: report of a research project

Abstract

Presents the results of a research project into the continuing vocational education (CVE) training needs of records management practitioners. Makes suggestions on the implications for the career development of records managers and other information professionals. Highlights pertinent areas of other research not covered within the scope of the CVE research. Conclusions include the acknowledgement that there is some overlap of skills between library and information professionals and records management practitioners, and that, in the current business climate of perpetual change, organizations need an effective records management strategy operated by people with the appropriate skills.
