Introduction to records management / Manoj Kiumar Dwivedi.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

All throughout the world, universities are hubs degree of learning is pursued. A university library, whether federal or state-owned, is an integral part of the university system. As a result, it tries to enhance the institution's functions by generating and transacting information in the form of records for teaching, learning, research, and administration in the course of its everyday operations. In other words, records are made and used to run a university and its library. A university library normally has one type of record or the other in order to function successfully and continue to provide services. Records have been associated with human activity for ages. Records are any documented information, regardless of form or media, received and maintained by an agency, institution, organization, or individual in the course of fulfilling its legal obligations or doing any type of business. Thus, regardless of the physical form or features of the media, records are documentary evidence of transactions performed or received in fulfillment of legal obligations. The ability to successfully manage and archive a vast amount of records is essential for the successful running of a library.

However, doing it correctly is not as simple as snapping your fingers; in order to efficiently preserve and manage your information, you must look beyond merely organizing them in alphabetical order. When it comes to arranging their collections, librarians and archivists face a slew of challenges. Books and other paper materials are mediums that age and decay. They are, nevertheless, intended to be handled, read, borrowed, and transferred. They are intended to be used. Managing the articles is difficult enough, but arranging the accompanying records (or digital copies of the books) is an added challenge. Not only must rigorous statewide (often national) recordkeeping requirements be followed, but document safety, information security, data organization, and file storage can all add to the workload. During the differentiation and integration process, library and information sciences and records management will continue to self-improve and evolve, not only to encourage the improvement of branch disciplines, but also to gradually mark them with era characteristics. As a library science student, you must learn and grasp the nature and types of such documents, as well as their purposes in the context of library work. This book will look at library records, their significance, needs, types, and the responsibilities they perform in different divisions of a library.

This book investigates record management and its current tendencies. It examines the concept of a record as both evidence and proof of essential transactions carried out in an organization. If properly managed, organized, and monitored, records enable effective and efficient updates to organizations. Most records in organizations, particularly libraries, lack monitoring, and enforcement, as well as unsuitable vintage and governance. In light of this, record managers should devise a system for managing records storage in which critical records can be reduced to microform in order to save space and speed up the preservation and retrieval of information. Libraries continue to purchase digital content, but licensing is now required. Digital content is saved on local servers and made available to the public. Modern librarians deal with requirements and create backup copies of information to ensure long-term access to digital resources. The modern library, like previous libraries, is responsible for and controls the content it provides, as well as future access to that content. The library is always changing and evolving, just as records are changing and evolving, It is a lot more complicated than just buying books and keeping the bindings in good condition. It is a thrilling time for libraries and the communities who rely on them. This book is intended audience includes librarians, archivists, lecturers, and researchers in the subject of library and information science, as well as practitioners, academics, and students interested in the topic.
