Records and Information Management
The ISU Records and Information Management (RIM) Program provides the primary direction for the administration and maintenance of the records of all academic and administrative units of the University, regardless of location.
This program exists to ensure
- ISU's compliance with relevant laws and legal requirements
- Records are effectively managed throughout their life cycle (creation, maintenance and use, and disposition)
- Permanent and archival (significant) records are preserved by transfer to University Archives
- Sensitive records and information are kept stable and secure
By providing information to faculty and staff on records management techniques (how to manage files, how long to keep records, how they should be destroyed), secure storage, and assistance with the transfer of permanent records to University Archives.
