Greenwood Publishing Group, the publisher of the Records and Information Management Report, has given me permission to reproduce these publications on my Web site.  Additional information about the RIMR can be found at [this web site is no longer available].

            As you use this resource, please let me know if you have suggestions for additions to the print or electronic readings.  As I am now assuming a role as Co-Editor of the Records and Information Management Report, I will use that newsletter and updates to this Web site as mechanisms for making additions.
