Records and Information Management is the systematic control of recorded information, regardless of format, from original creation to ultimate disposition. Or more simply, knowing what you have, where it is located, how long you need to keep it and following that retention requirement.
All NKU employees — administrators, faculty and staff — create and maintain records and information. Only a small portion of records and information needs to be kept permanently. All employees should evaluate their records and information for retention at least annually.
