Records management emphasizes the principles and practices of effective management of information for both manual indexing and automated records systems. The basic manual indexing systems concept covers all standard indexing rules published by the Association of Records Managers and Administrators (ARMA). The automated records systems provide the opportunity to work with the kinds of computer databases encountered in business. The process of coordinating both the manual indexing rules and computer indexing rules are stressed. The course emphasizes the need to understand the record's life cycle-from creation to disposition-within the structure of any given organization. The course stresses the federal legislation designed to protect information and the privacy of the individual or organization. The course prepares the student for several career options within the records/information management field. (SFCC)
