Description

The Eastern and Southern African Regional Branch of the International Council of Archives (ESARBICA) is dedicated to keeping and preserving records and documents so they may be accessible to the public. Constant research and re-examination of current record-keeping methods, such as the Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS), is necessary to ensure the preservation and dissemination of information.

Cases on Electronic Record Management in the ESARBICA Region is an essential reference source that shares case studies on the development and implementation of records management strategies including the procurement and implementation of EDRMS. Covering topics such as record management strategy development, e-records readiness, and legal frameworks, this book is ideally designed for archivists, librarians, records specialists, knowledge managers, ICT professionals, policymakers, system analysts, project managers, legal officers, academicians, researchers, and students.
