Purpose statement:

The purpose of this module is to enable learners to grapple with the changing needs of identifying, retrieving, appraising, preserving and conserving information created and stored on various media, including digital format. Additionally, the module aims to provide students with an understanding of the elements in current and future records and archives practices. It also aims to assist the learners already working in the field with opportunities to maintain and improve their competencies in meeting the information needs of their organisation and society as a whole. On completion of this workshop, the learner will be able to formulate indexing systems for all record types, as well as understand appraisal techniques and retention and disposition of records.
