To meet the demands of archivists increasingly tasked with the responsibility for hybrid collections, this indispensable guide covers contemporary archival practice for managing analog and digital materials in a single publication. Terms describing activities central to the archival process—such as appraisal, acquisition, arrangement, description, storage, access, and preservation—are included. In addition, responsibilities traditionally considered outside the purview of the archivist but currently impacting professional activities—such as cybersecurity, digital forensics, digital curation, distributed systems (e.g., cloud computing), and distributed trust systems (e.g., blockchain)—are also covered. The Handbook is divided into ten sections: current environment; records creation and recordkeeping systems; appraisal and acquisition; arrangement and description; storage and preservation; digital preservation; user services; community outreach and advocacy; risk management, security and privacy; and management and leadership. Some terms touch on more than one category, which made sorting a challenge. Readers are encouraged to consult both the table of contents and the index, as a topic may be addressed in more than one entry. A total of 111 entries by 105 authors are defined and described in The Handbook. The majority (79) of the contributors were from the US, 12 from Canada, 7 from the United Kingdom, 3 from Australia, 1 each from Germany, Jamaica, New Zealand, and the Russian Federation. Because archival practice differs among practitioners in different countries, this work represents an amalgamation. The Handbook was written primarily for archival practitioners who wish to access desired information at the point of need. However, can also serve as a valuable resource for students pursuing careers in the archival profession and information professionals engaged in related fields.

Proven and emerging strategies for addressing document and records management risk within the framework of information governance principles and best practices Information Governance (IG) is a rapidly emerging "super discipline" and is now being applied to electronic document and records management, email, social media, cloud computing, mobile computing, and, in fact, the management and output of information organization-wide. IG leverages information technologies to enforce policies, procedures and controls to manage information risk in compliance with legal and litigation demands, external regulatory requirements, and internal governance objectives. Information Governance: Concepts, Strategies, and Best Practices reveals how, and why, to utilize IG and leverage information technologies to control, monitor, and enforce information access and security policies. Written by one of the most recognized and published experts on information governance, including specialization in e-document security and electronic records management Provides big picture guidance on the imperative for information governance and best practice guidance on electronic document and records management Crucial advice and insights for compliance and risk managers, operations managers, corporate counsel, corporate records managers, legal administrators, information technology managers, archivists, knowledge managers, and information governance professionals IG sets the policies that control and manage the use of organizational information, including social media, mobile computing, cloud computing, email, instant messaging, and the use of e-documents and records. This extends to e-discovery planning and preparation. Information Governance: Concepts, Strategies, and Best Practices provides step-by-step guidance for developing information governance strategies and practices to manage risk in the use of electronic business documents and records.

"This book explores the complex value and governance issues that arise as a consequence of the big data phenomenon and provides examples of best practices found in organizations concerning teaching and learning in academia and the business-industrial environment.

Information governance (IG)-the ability to secure, control and optimize information-is becoming more important and increasingly seen as a critical initiative in well-run organizations. IG is about minimizing information risks and costs while maximizing its value. But IG has often been presented as a complicated and blurry concept, and IG programs have often fallen short of their aims. Written by the leading author and trainer in IG, Robert Smallwood, this book will provide you with a crystal-clear definition of IG and its concepts, give you a high-level understanding of the drivers and benefits of IG, help you develop the business case, and show you how to launch and manage an ongoing IG program.

"The books is divided into three part : • Part 1 provides an introduction to information governance concepts. It defines key terms, explains the business case for information governance as a strategic initiative, surveys governance frameworks, and discusses the roles, responsibilities, and interactions of information governance stakeholders. It also describes related governance initiatives and explains the role of maturity analysis in planning and assessing an organization's information governance program. • Part 2 surveys legal and regulatory requirements that affect information governance stakeholders and initiatives. The survey covers recordkeeping requirements, data protection and privacy requirements, information security requirements, information disclosure requirements, and statutes of limitations. For each category, the survey summarizes and cites examples of typical laws and regulations and explains their impact on information governance. • Part 3 examines technologies that are important for information governance initiatives. The discussion covers technologies that organize, analyze, and categorize information; technologies that manage the information lifecycle; technologies that retrieve information; and technologies that address risk management and information security requirements. The discussion describes the most important characteristics of each technology and assesses its impact on information governance stakeholders and requirements."--Préface page viii.
