Below are some helpful resources for organizing and managing your department's records.
Records Management Workshops
As a public institution, Sinclair College must comply with laws governing public records. Effective compliance can only be achieved through proper records management. Departments may request a 1-hour workshop lead by Sinclair's Records Management office to help staff become more knowledgeable about policies, legal requirements, and best practices concerning retention, management, and disposition of records in their care. Participants will also learn practical tips and techniques for organizing electronic records.
