AC+erm in Iceland at IRMA
I was delighted to be invited to speak to members of Iceland’s Records Management Association about the AC+erm Project last week. Nearly 100 members heard our first presentation post the official end of the project and saw the public overseas premiere of the AC+erm ‘movie’ scripted by a member of the project team featuring newscasters Lancelot and Guinivere. Our Icelandic records management professionals share the UK sense of humour! The slides and movie will be posted on the AC+erm website shortly as it is currently under reconstruction now that the project has ended.
The afternoon featured two seminars. The first was linked to AC+erm, looking at the technology options for electronic records management with some examples of SharePoint implementations and interest; the second explored the future of records management in the Web 2.0 world. It was interesting to hear and debate Icelandic views on various questions about the future. Their outlook was very optimistic and positive.
The IRMA has around 220 members, which is particularly impressive in a country with a population of ~320,000 (similar to the city/suburbs of Newcastle upon Tyne!) Interestingly the majority are female and they work in a wide range of sectors as records/information managers, IT consultants and software developers.
I can highly recommend Iceland – the people I met were so welcoming and generous, the records professionals are so committed and, despite the kind of inclement weather we’re used to in the North East, a fascinating landscape. And the Fimmvorduhals volcano waited until we had left to erupt again!

It was very educational and interesting to listen to your presentation and to sit through the two seminars earlier this month. Thank you so much for taking the time and speak to us and educate us a little bit. Hope you had a good time in Iceland.

Writing is an excellent talent to have, but it's useless except if you decide on what you want, and make plans to accomplish it. There's a big distinction in between creating as a pastime, and custom essay writing service as a profession or enterprise.
