Jisc infoNet award will 'reward success in records management'

Has your institution recently made significant
improvements to the way in which it manages its records or internal
information?

Or, have changes to the way in which you manage your
records or internal information made a demonstrable difference to the way
in which your institution operates? "Jisc infoNet ... felt that organising an award
which recognises and rewards success in this area would not only give
credit where it is due, but also help support further innovation in the
future.”

If so, your success could gain further recognition
through the inaugural Jisc infoNet Award for Innovation in Records &
Information Management.

Part of Jisc InfoNet’s support for the development of good records
management practice within the FE and HE sectors, the new award – sponsored
by Facet Publishing - has been established to promote the positive role
records management can play in institutional life, and to encourage
innovation in the way in which records management issues are
addressed.  

Steve Bailey, senior adviser at Jisc infoNet said: “In
the past few years many institutions have taken great strides forward in
terms of improving the way they manage their information and records. Many
of these projects have now moved far beyond their legal compliance origins
and are now delivering other additional benefits to the institution. Jisc
infoNet have been actively supporting the promotion and development of
records management since 2003 and felt that organising an award which
recognises and rewards success in this area would not only give credit
where it is due, but also help support further innovation in the
future.”

The successful project, as selected by an expert panel,
will be announced at the Jisc Conference on 15 April 2008.
