8. ARCHIVAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DIGITAL INFORMATION
Bloomington, IN -- The IU Archives traditionally has been a repository for thousands of linear feet of paper records generated by the University's academic departments, administrative offices and other affiliates. Five floors in Bryan Hall and various storage facilities are dedicated to storing the equivalent of 15,000 record storage boxes of paper records with historical value -- from the Arbutus yearbook to the minutes of meetings. The Archives also collects "non-textual" records, such as photographic prints and video and audio tapes.
But as more and more information is generated electronically, the University has had to consider how to keep track of this new dimension of valuable data.
Since August 1995, IU's Data Archivist, Kathy Anderson, has been working with Phil Bantin, Director of the IU Archives; Gerry Bernbom, Senior Information Technology Architect in the Office of Information Technologies, and a team of advisers to establish archival requirements for IU's electronic records. The two-year project is funded by a $122,137 grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
In determining what to archive and how, the electronic records project is an opportunity to test some of the suggested theoretical frameworks in the archives field, one of which was developed by David Bearman at the University of Pittsburgh, Anderson explains. The project is based on a model of functional analysis, which assumes that if the function is essentialto the organization, the records generated by carrying out that activity also will be important.
Having completed one functional analysis in the Financial Management Services area, the project team is now refining the methodology and considering other approaches, Anderson says. In addition to operational requirements, archival decisions are based on legal regulations and "best practice procedures." For example, if the IRS requires the University to retain financial records for 7 years, does it make sense for the University tostore such data electronically for a longer period of time? Although the Indiana state archivist has helped them identify where precedence has been set, in general, "laws on electronic records are still evolving," Anderson says.
Accessibility and usability of the saved information encompass other archival considerations. Because the cost of electronic storage is cheap rightnow, it's tempting to save everything, Anderson notes. But eventually therewill be so many electronic records preserved that it will be difficult to findthe needed information. Consequently, the project team must also examine whether and how data extracted from specific records will be useful in the future. "How is this information used for making decisions?" and "What kinds of statistical data must the University have year afte r year?" are just two of the many questions Anderson must ask of the records being reviewed.
Eventually, the project team hopes to recommend policies for the preservation of electronic records and develop finding tools using metadata for describing and accessing information stored in digital archives. "It's a monumental process," observes Anderson. "We're trying to manage it incrementally."
For further information about the electronic records project, contact Kathy Anderson at (812) 855-9019 or via e-mail at: (kanderso@indiana.edu). Information about the project also is available on the World Wide Web at (http://www.indiana.edu/~libarche/ ).

9. UGLS UPDATE
Discs For Sale!
A BIG THANKS! to Rita Rodgers, Jan Clinch, and Jane Goldsmith and their UGL Circulation student employees for providing for sales of 3.5 inch discs, highlighters, and other simple office supplies. It is so great to refer students to the UGL Circ Desk when they ask to "borrow" these at reference service points. It should also encourage students to use downloading when possible.
Tax Time Again!
Even thought the IRS and many states allow electronic filing and provide the forms and instructions on the Web, UGL is still providing the "traditional" tax forms: 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, and 1040NR for the Federal and IT40 and ITPNR40 for Indiana. These forms, volumes of special reproducible forms, local IRS and IRD addresses, web addresses and other information are located in the Undergraduate Library, on the west side of the grey panels by the encyclopedias. Reference staff will be happy to assist you with the forms but remember we do not give tax advice.
WWW Books!
Just a reminder that several great books concerning the web are located in a special reference collection located in the Interactive Information Center Cluster (Center of the UGL Reference Area, 1st floor). New titles received since the last IUL News announcement include:
These books normally do not circulate but Lou will grant special 1 day charges to appointed library personnel.
Peterson's CD-ROM
UGL has again subscribed to Peterson's Guide to Graduate Programs on Cd-ROM. This series is so popular in print that it is destroyed from overuse within 6 months. Hoepfully the CD-ROM product will fill a need by assuring availability of all pages. Come try it out! The product is available on the CA$HE computer, located at the second blue pillar in the UGL Reference Reading Room.
OSFA Branch Office in February
The Office of Student Financial Assistance is holding office hours between 2 - 6p.m. Monday through Thursday during February to encourage students to complete their financial aid forms before the March 1 deadline. The Branch Office occupies the same space in UGLS during the day that the Campuswide Writing Center's Branch Office occupies in the evenings (Mon-Thr 6pm-9pm). If you get questions about financial assistance, feel free to refer students during the afternoon hours.
