Library and Archives Canada Newsletter: Governance and Recordkeeping Around the World!

Governance and Recordkeeping Around the World is a free newsletter published by Library and Archives Canada on a regular basis.


The newsletter is a resource tool that contains the latest news, trends, products and tools, articles, and best practices in recordkeeping/Information Management.

Topics include the management of electronic records; retention, storage and disposal of records; electronic discovery; social media; cloud computing; digitization; and access to information and privacy.

Past issues have included special sections on the consequences of keeping too much information and managing government information in the age of social media.

Subscribers will receive each new issue of the newsletter electronically.

If any of your members are interested in receiving the newsletter they can contact me and I will add them to the distribution list.

Below is a summary of some of the articles in the current issue (February 2012) and the link to our current issue and our Home Page.

In addition, subscribers of the free newsletter will now receive special e-mails containing On-Demand webinars.
