Report on a survey of records management practice and training needs in North‐East England Available to Purchase

In the Spring of 1993, the Department of Information and Library Management at the University of Northumbria wished both to collect information on current Records Management practice in the North East of England, and simultaneously to draw the attention of local organisations to their new Postgraduate Diploma in Information and Records Management. By use of a questionnaire, they elicited a response, which, although not amenable to rigorous statistical analysis, does perhaps begin to identify some of the main problems that may be encountered in any subsequent attempt to access this sector, for either the conducting of research or for training purposes.
