Effective management of social media records relies upon the implementation of a solid records management program for all records, regardless of medium.
For example,
- E-mail and instant messaging can be controlled by the agency. Servers can be managed withinthe agency, or services can be outsourced.
- Popular social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, can’t be placed on an enterprise server.
- Capturing records residing in these third-party social media tools can be labor-intensive, inefficient, and duplicative.
The “Web 2.0” systems are developed and designed to facilitate communication, secure information sharing,
interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. These include social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and other such systems.
What is your take on this, my group members?
Recently the Kenyan National Archives in conjunction with Google launched a digital platform where people can access the cultural materials just with a click of a button.....
ReplyDeleteBased on the above what concept of new media does digitization fall in
I think this is an 'Agile Concept', reason being that their is use of software that is characterized by the division of tasks into short phases of work and frequent reassessment and adaptation of plans.
DeleteGiven that in an archives environment, their is continuous re-assessment of information materials, based on their life-cycle.
Application of new media by the Kenya National Archives, also makes access be mobile and volatile, in the sense that, it makes access and use global and simultaneous, depending with the authentification measures in place.
These are my opinions, what do u think
Am thinking that we should look for areas in records management where there is direct application of new media
ReplyDeleteFor instance the archives can develop a fb page where they can interact with there users
2 ndly the concepts of new media should guide our discussions that's my take
What landscape will facebook provide in archives??,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are that in addition to the public platform, the archives manager should consider implementing an enterprise-grade social media platform to help address these other issue, such as:
Monitoring the outbound social media data streams to prevent sensitive data or
offensive content from being sent from corporate resources
Monitoring incoming social media content for malware and other threats that could
steal corporate data, financial assets or cause other problems
Monitoring Archive business records in social media streams that might be required to
ensure regulatory or legal compliance
To create, enforce and update policies focused on appropriate use of social media
Therefore, using an enterprise-grade social media platform will not only help alleviate these concerns, but also protect the organization's reserve of information materials from risks
I think all social media platforms are a form of storing memories like pictures and events as they happen
