This companion book has been created to support practitioners, leaders, system owners and anyone working within Records and Information Management who wants clear, practical guidance grounded in New Zealand’s legislative and regulatory environment.
Records Management Essentials complements my free resources Records Management Essentials Workbook and walks through the core concepts that underpin strong IM practice. It explains the Public Records Act 2005, the Information and Records Management Standard, disposal authorities, appraisal, retention, metadata, taxonomy, digital continuity, digitisation, archives and the lifecycle of records in plain, structured language. Each section builds on the next so you can connect legislation, governance and day-to-day practice with confidence.
This resource is designed to be practical. It can be used for self-study, team training, onboarding new staff, refreshing knowledge before an audit, or strengthening organisational maturity. It also complements my other free eBook Creating a Successful Records and Information Management Programme by focusing deeply on the essential concepts that shape compliant, sustainable information management.
