Records Training Description:
Records
This definition reflects the essence of the court and industry definitions that records include any media. It adds the concept of "official record" by indicating that it was the intent of the party "to preserve information that reflects the position or business of an organization."
From a court perspective, recorded information (regardless of intent) found in one party's office may still be offered into evidence by either party. The importance the court may place on that information, however, may be affected by whether the creating party can show that the recorded information was official or unofficial--whether or not it reflects the official position and business of the organization. The systematic implementation of the suggested definition may support the credibility of official records and discredit the importance of unofficial records.
This definition would remain effective even as we evolve into information technology systems in the future. With pieces of information located within networks and different computers, the record becomes that information which the author intended to preserve to reflect the position or business of the organization as evidenced by some formal procedures.
