FILING - the book

A DIY guide for those who are changing, updating, re-engineering, refurbishing or simply studying filing.

PREAMBLE

This book must sit on the desk of each office administrator, facilities or records manager. This book is written with change in mind. For most people, the only time they think about their filing and information retrieval, is at a time when either they have run out of room, or are ready to move office. At this stage they have three basic choices (a) Don't change a thing (b) Call in the first salesperson and trust that they are right, and do know as much as they say or, (c) Call in a consultant who is unbiased and knows the industry.

In the recent past too many vendors have set up consulting companies and too many consultants have ended up being vendors.

FILING is about debunking a few myths and getting right to the point.

FILING replaces a previous publication The Records Management Primer first published in 1982 as part of a training program developed for the Records Management Association of Australia (Qld Branch)
