ACRL/RBMS Documentation Task Force

Charge

The RBMS Documentation Task Force will review RBMS documentation practices and develop a basic records management plan for RBMS that defines appropriate repositories for various RBMS record types and defines the roles and responsibilities of various RBMS officers and groups in records management. The records management plan will also outline a structure for RBMS documents in ALAIR, and include metadata guidelines for different record types that will be placed in ALAIR. The Task Force will also design and oversee a project to migrate permanent records currently housed on rbms.info to the ALAIR using the structure and metadata guidelines mentioned previously. The Task Force will be assisted by the ALA Archivist and an intern hired by the ALA Archivist using RBMS Section Funds. Before it is discharged, the Task Force will communicate with the rest of the Section to ensure that members are aware of their ongoing roles and responsibilities for records management.
