A record is recorded information that supports
the activity of the business or organization that
created it. It can take the form of:
• paper documents such as a hand-written
memo or a hardcopy report
• electronic records such as databases or e-
mail
• graphic images such as drawings or maps;
these may be in photographic, electronic, or
hard-copy formats
19. International Standards Organization
• ISO 15489: “information created, received,
and maintained as evidence and

30. What is Putability?
• Definition:
– The quality of putting content in the correct
location with the correct metadata
– The degree to which we put quality information
into our information management system
• Truths:
– What goes in, must come out: garbage in,
garbage out
– Our users will resist taking the time to put quality
information into the system (tag the content)
– Findability is directly impacted by our Putability
practices

31. Who is responsible for tagging?
• Authors: 40%
• Records Managers: 29%
• SME’s: 25%
• Anyone: 23%
• Don’t know: 12%
• No one: 16%
• This means that many don’t know who is
responsible for tagging information to make it
more findable.
• Result of not having information governance
• Can’t have SharePoint governance without IG

32. Putability Pushback
• No time to enter metadata
• Don’t want to worry about where a
document is
• I wasn’t hired to manage information
• This is IT’s job
• I don’t want to be responsible if I enter the
wrong metadata
• I don’t see the need, so why do it?

33. Personal vs. Business Devices
• How do people manage electronic
records?
• How do people access records?
38. Decision Points
• Define roles & responsibilities
• Define business & personal platform use
• Define what a record is
• Define how a record is declared
• Define when a record is declared
• Define lifecycle once a record is declared
