Description
Records management is all about how long to keep records, who keeps them, and what happens to them at the end of their "life". All of this information can be found in the university's retention schedules (aka "RRSDAs"). Retention schedules have several parts, and it might take some practice to learn how to read and apply them. This training resource includes several related files: two audio file, including a long version (12.5 minutes) and a shorter version (7.5 minutes), a written transcript of each audio, and a link to an interactive document stored on ThingLink. The purpose is to give staff multiple ways to interact with the key records management question, "How do I read a retention schedule?". Music rights are different from recording rights, but the music being performed by the pipe band during convocation is in the public domain.
