Description
In this podcast episode, we look at the basics of naming conventions. We discuss what should be put in every file title, and what to NEVER put in a file title. This training resource includes several related files: an audio file (7 min), a written transcript of the audio, a graphic titled "Document Naming conventions" and a link to the audio file on SoundCloud. The purpose is to give staff multiple ways to interact with the key records management question, "How do I name digital records?". Music rights are different from recording rights, but the music being performed by the pipe band during convocation is in the public domain.
