MER 2013: Pre-Conference Tutorial Details

The goal of this tutorial is to provide an introduction to electronic records management concepts, tools, and processes – to those MER registrants who believe they would benefit from a "basics" course before the conference.

This interactive tutorial is targeted to meet the needs of both RIM professionals as well as those newly assigned to records management projects.

Legal and IT staff also can benefit from the records management concepts and practices presented.

This tutorial is part of The AIIM ERM Practitioner Training Program and has just been completely rewritten to address changes in technology and records management processes such as social media, mobile technologies, and SharePoint 2010.

Participants will learn:

• Records management terminologies and principles,
• The lifecycle of records – with focus on electronic records,
• How to identify both the sources of records and how they should be captured,
• How to determine retention and disposition requirements,
• How to incorporate emerging technologies into the information governance program,
• How to manage social media as records, and
• Key electronic records storage and preservation concepts.

Attendees will receive supplemental materials – including handouts, checklists, templates, and additional resources.

Attendees also will have 6-month access to the online version of this course’s materials – and access to the online ERM Practitioner exam. Upon successful completion of the exam, students will receive the ERM Practitioner designation.
