Witness Seminar: Transforming Information & Records Management through Research & Development

12:00–18:00, 4 March 2010, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne

The fourth and final AC+erm colloquium will take the form of a Witness Seminar, to be held on ‘home turf’ in the Great Hall of Northumbria University’s newly refurbished Sutherland Building.

Building on the success of previous witness seminars this free half-day seminar focuses on the results of the AC+erm e-records management project in the broader context of research and development in information management. It provides a rare opportunity for anyone interested and/or involved in research and development or improving their organisation’s management of information and records to listen to, learn from, actively discuss and network with a range of experts and other delegates.

You are invited to join a group of UK and international information and records management, IT and information systems academics and practitioners, and engage in a critical examination of the value and nature of research and development for the information management profession.

Speakers include Steve Bailey, David Bowen, Chris Campbell, Adrian Cunningham, Paul Dodgson, Catherine Hare, John McDonald, Michael Moss, Stuart Orr and Andrew Snowden.

Delegates can contribute their own knowledge, experience, views and desires to the discussion and debate to influence the direction of future research. Posters, presentations, and other materials and tools related to the findings of the AC+erm Project and other projects conducted by Northumbria University’s Information Management Innovation (IMI) Research Group will be available to view and use.
