Sender: Management & Preservation of Electronic Records <ERECS-L [at] albnyvm1__bitnet> Welcome to ERECS-L, the Electronic Records Listserv. The listserv, formally identified as ERECS-L@ALBNYVM1, is hosted by the State University of New York at Albany and managed by the Electronic Records Roundtable of the Society of American Archivists. You may have already received notification of your membership on the list from the SUNY at Albany computer. Consider this the official notification of list membership. The list provides an opportunity for archivists and other information professionals to share information that will advance the ability of institutions to make information in electronic form available, understandable, and useable as long as it is needed. PURPOSE OF THE LISTSERV: To provide a forum for discussion of ideas techniques, and issues associated with the management and preservation of electronic records. Also to provide a vehicle for the electronic distribution of publications, newsletters, and grey literature associated with managing electronic records. This list is unique because its focus is exclusively electronic records and the issues that surround them. AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS: Archivists working in all institutional settings, students studying archival administration, data archivists, data librarians, and other information professionals who can benefit from or contribute to an ongoing discussion of electronic records issues. LIST MANAGEMENT/OVERSIGHT: The list will be moderated by a member of the SAA Electronic Records Roundtable. Postings should contribute to the purposes and goals of the list and conform to generally accepted network etiquette requirements.
