Records exist in a wide variety of formats including paper, microfilm, photographs, e-mail, databases, etc. Employees should be able to find the records they need to do their work quickly and easily. It is important to dispose of records that have fulfilled their retention requirements so they do not waste space, make it harder to find important information, and become a liability. In addition, records with long-term and historical value need to be protected and preserved. This webinar will provide an introduction and overview of the records management responsibilities of government employees. Topics will include identifying records, records Retention and Disposal Schedules, best practices for recordkeeping, digital imaging and email management.</span></div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;margin:0" mce_style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;margin:0"><b><span style="color:black;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif" mce_style="color:black;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif" lang="EN">Bio:</span></b></div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;margin:0" mce_style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;margin:0"><span style="color:black;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif" mce_style="color:black;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif">Caryn Wojcik </span><span style="color:black;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif" mce_style="color:black;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif">has worked for the State of Michigan since 1996.
