Abstract:
With the issuance of a Presidential Directive on improving the management of federal records in November of 2011 and landmark updates to the Federal Records Act passed into law last year, there have been significant changes in how NARA and agencies are managing records. During this discussion, a member of the NARA RM policy team will talk about these changes and other improvements in the management of federal records.
