Something I'm going to have to play with. Definitely an interesting issue considering how consumerized our lives are now a days... brand vs. quality/content.

Podcast Series ‘Records Management Today’ – latest episode is available at www.northumbria.ac.uk/records_management_today

 

Episode 6 (August 2009)

Recorded: Monday 29 June 2009

 

Spotlight on: The records continuum, in conversation with Joanne Evans (44 mins).

 

The records continuum model arose from the attempt by Australian academics, archivists and records managers to reformulate the way we think about records and about the recordkeeping.  The model has been most famously expounded by Frank Upward of Monash University, Melbourne Australia (See: http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/research/groups/rcrg/publications/frank-u-rmj-2001.pdf )

 

In this podcast James Lappin and Joanne Evans discuss the history and significance of the records continuum.  Joanne is a recordkeeping researcher at the e-Scholarship Research Centre at the University of Melbourne, and is also associated with Monash University.  The podcast is introduced by Julie McLeod.

Interesting lecture, even more interesting ideas... definitions and videos watched. Not sure how this is reflective just yet but as its 10pm I guess this is about as good as it gets.

It does however need to be noted that the concept that the Internet is just a 'path' of networked PCs is something no one really takes into account. The visual proxy trace was a good way to really understand how that works. Dammit why can't we travel that fast?! "Beam me up Scotty!"

No remind me I am studying 2 subjects this semester... not just one mmmkay?
