Motion to Adjourn—4:30
FSCOT Report All Campus Meeting October 29, 2018 Submitted by Lisa Shappee An ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning task force has been created to look at all of the different systems the university uses and see how we can improve or update those systems. They are evaluating systems like HRIS, KSIS, and FIS. This task force is not choosing new systems, they are simply looking at our processes, what systems are available and what other institutions are utilizing in order to make recommendations. A Digital Asset Management Group has been created through University Archives that is looking to find a solution to utilize university-wide for video, audio and image storage for archival purposes. This would not affect Mediasite and how it is utilized. Records Manager from University Archives, Ryan Leimkuehler, will be on campus Nov. 27th for Records Management 101 Training. This training will be at 3:30 p.m. in TC 120. Please RSVP to me at [email protected] if you would like to attend. Below is a description of what will be covered. I am hopeful the description will help you to decide if this is a training you should be attending. Records Management 101 This course covers the basic information needed for records creators and designees. The course walks attendees through why records management is important, the University retention schedule, legal requirements, paper and electronic records, and concludes with an in-depth discussion on how to identify records and the process on how to update the University retention schedule. Session Objectives: As a result of this session, participants will:
• Learn the basics of records management. • Understand the University standards in records management practice. • Know and understand the process of updating the University retention schedule. • Know the legal requirements of following a retention schedule.
