It covers fundamental principles of records and information management, encompassing all types of records—physical (paper), image-based, and electronic media used in digital systems.

Part II, Electronic Records Management, focuses on managing electronic records files, including classification through metadata, taxonomies, and file plans, and the use of various storage media such as magnetic, optical, and solid-state drives throughout the records lifecycle. This edition introduces a new chapter on Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and explains how Microsoft SharePoint supports records management practices. Part III, RIM Program Administration, explores the components and guidelines for managing records and information management (RIM) programs, with expanded content on information governance, social media, and the roles and responsibilities of records and information managers. Based on ARMA International standards and best practices, the text includes practical examples, real-world professional profiles, and database activities designed to prepare students for successful careers.
