In Digital Preservation -- Is your current approach to long-term digital information failing the business? I wrote that our two key information management objectives — utilization of information and preservation of it — got separated along the digital journey. In the process, long-term preservation of digital information took a backseat to the short-term utilization and optimization of this information in business processes. In addition, many organizations lost track of the key differences between back-up, archiving, and true long-term preservation.

Her session is called "How We Learned to Love Event-Based Retention: A Valero Energy Case Study in Records Management."

When I was a young child, in an era when school papers had to be researched in libraries with card catalogs and shelves upon shelves of books, my father had the bright idea to purchase a complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Now, we lived on a tight budget, and my mother wasn’t too thrilled with this splurge when a perfectly good library was so close to home. Dad wouldn’t hear of it! “Our girls need the best education we can offer,” so of course, mom relented.

As Yogi supposedly once said, it's like deja vu all over again. I recently came across this article from e-doc Magazine by my friend Nishan DeSilva (then of Watson Wyatt fame, now at Microsoft). For those of you who might not know, this was a physical magazine published by AIIM. (Speaking of e-doc Magazine, how many remember it's successor, Infonomics magazine? Gosh, I wish we had held onto that name!)
