E-RECORDS PRESENTATION NEW PERMANENT RECORDS STANDARDS

OUT WITH THE OLD Only two formats acceptable for Official Permanent records: Paper Microfilm No approved system for retention of electronic Permanent records, including “Permanent Student Records”

IN WITH THE NEW Permanent records – those records that have a permanent retention period listed on an approved Retention Schedule. “Born Digital” - meaning records that are created electronically or via a digital audiovisual media If the records are born digital, and if they have a permanent retention period, then they CAN be retained ELECTRONICALLY!

BUT… BUT, the permanent records need to be retained according to the Arizona Standards for Permanent Records. The system must include the ability to export permanent records to an open format that is appropriate for long-term preservation and sufficient for public access to the records, including any metadata necessary to locate and access individual records, relationship to other records, as well as definitions of all data fields, codes, abbreviations and acronyms, valid at time of creation of record. Electronic/Digital formats & Analog formats (Formats and media not paper or micrographic) 5.4 For permanent records in electronic/digital formats and analog formats Note: Currently, there is no “enduring” analog or electronic format or storage media other than paper or micrographics. no file format or storage media is durable or lasting. Permanent records stored in electronic formats and media require constant migration of file formats and storage media, comprehensive descriptive metadata, as well as adherence to strict compliance and security processes.

AND… As with all records formats, those stored electronically are very susceptible to degradation, corruption and destruction during emergencies, disasters Steps must be taken to ensure all vital and permanent records are protected. All media devices will fail, meet end of life and/or become obsolete. Records must be duplicated and/or transferred to a new media device prior to obsolescence or media reaching end of life, System must be able to export all records, including all corresponding metadata, with the relationships of metadata to the record maintained and the record relationship to other records maintained, into an application neutral and commonly used open format, which can be ingested into another system. Export must not contain any intellectual property information from a proprietary software or hardware system.

GOT QUESTIONS?

E-RECORDS PRESENTATION ARIZONA E-RECORDS TOWN HALL

WHY THE E-RECORDS TOWN HALL? Sent out on 06/04/2014 Arizona e-Records Town Hall Fact: Federal, State and Local Governments across the US are faced with the Challenge of managing electronic records and information. Fact: This Challenge grows with each new technology / innovation. (Think , unstructured data, social media, texting, tweeting, big data, etc.) Fact: All Governments face the Challenge of managing and producing electronic records and information in response to Audits, e-Discovery, Investigations, Litigation, RM statutes and Public Records statutes. Fact: Solutions to this Challenge are lagging far behind the technology, and are getting further behind all the time. What can be done to help stem this tide, reverse it, or even master the Challenge posed by electronic records and information?

WHAT IS THE E-RECORDS TOWN HALL? The Arizona Library, Archives and Public Records (LAPR) would like to propose a collaborative first-step approach to this pressing Challenge: A one-day, town hall-style meeting where we would invite any interested Arizona governments (targeting CIO / IT, Legal, Officials / Executives, Records Management, Risk Management, PIO, Privacy / Security, etc.) to come together and discuss some of the most pressing aspects of this Challenge and begin the process of working toward some solutions that are effective, efficient, and viable.

WHEN? WHERE? WHAT?... We are working on finalizing the agenda and format, and will send that information out through our Listserv. Are you on our Listserv? If not, send me an and I will have you added. The e-Records Town Hall will take place after the newly elected officials are installed – probably in March.
