Promoting Good Practice and Guidance
JISC infoNet has developed a series of infoKits designed to promote good practice in the development of records and information management processes. The infoKits currently cover information, records and email management with more planned over the coming months. In addition to the infoKits there are also briefing notes and guidance regarding changes in the sector that impact on an institution’s records and information management.

Email Management infoKit

Many institutions are rapidly coming to the conclusion that email management can no longer be left to individual members of staff to perform on a 'best efforts' basis and that a more proactive and co-ordinated approach is needed. The purpose of this infoKit is to outline the main elements which need consideration as part of such an approach.

Information Lifecycle infoKit

All information moves through a 'lifecycle' which can be broken down into distinct phases. Put simply, the concept of information lifecycle management is about making sure you ask yourself the right questions at the right time regarding the management requirements of internally-produced information.
