Abstract

This chapter examines the record management and its contemporary trends. It discusses the concept of record not only as evidence but also a proof of important transactions carried out in an organization. Records ensure effective and efficient updates to organizations if properly managed, organized, and monitored. However, most records in organizations, especially libraries, lack monitoring and enforcement, inappropriate vintage and governance. It is against this background that record managers should create a system of organizing records storage where essential records can be reduced to microform in order to conserve, space, and speed-up preservation and retrieval of information.
