NARA finalizes rule on short-term e-records

GCN Has Word on The National Archives and Records Administration has issued a final rule that gives agencies guidance on how to define and maintain short-term electronic records, including e-mail.

In a notice dated Feb. 21, NARA says the rule strikes a balance between making government workers aware of the importance of maintaining e-records while not overly burdening agenciesâ€™ e-mail systems.
