Introduction -- The making and keeping of records: a brief historical overview -- Thinking about records and archives: the transition to the digital -- Archivists, records managers and the rise of information -- Finding a way through the hall of mirrors: concepts of information -- Records and data -- Representation, performativity and social action: why records are not (just) information -- Managing information or managing records? -- Concluding thoughts: record-keeping present and future
"This dynamic book considers whether and how the management of records (and archives) differs from the management of information (and data). Can archives and records management still make a distinctive contribution in the 21st century, or are they now being dissolved into a wider world of information governance? What should be our conceptual understanding of records in the digital era? What are the practical implications of the information revolution for the work of archivists and records managers?"--Publisher's website, accessed 2/8/2018
