The Litigation Minefield
U.S. litigation increasingly demands the preservation of and access to all relevant documents, including email, e-records, and in the future Web 2.0 social media
Courts impose sanctions on parties for failing to preserve evidence under the “spoliation” doctrine
![Page 17: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
E-Recordkeeping in Government: Five Paths

Moving from paper recordkeeping to true E-government

The Tree = The Organization’s Knowledge
And Every User’s Email Account as a Separate Twig

Making Transformative Changes: Step 1
Improving baseline knowledge management of agency information assets, starting with inventorying and/or data mapping all agency ESI repositories, applications and platforms in anticipation of ediscovery
![Page 22: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Making Transformative Changes: Step 2
Updating legacy records schedules and ensuring that unscheduled electronic records, including Web 2.0 applications, are properly scheduled
![Page 23: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Making Transformative Changes: Step 3
Building in records management services (RMS) into software applications and/or adopting electronic recordkeeping, electronic content management and electronic archiving
![Page 24: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Making Transformative Changes: Step 4
Embracing preventive measures in the form of ad hoc, interdisciplinary teams (from legal, RM, IT and senior execs) meeting periodically to discuss present and future ediscovery risk
![Page 25: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Making Transformative Changes: Step 5
Appointing knowledge counsel as the “go to” individual in each headquarters or regional component, to function as a clearinghouse and repository of information on the IT and recordkeeping practices of the agency
![Page 26: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Overarching Smart E-Discovery Strategy Convincing lawyers to think in new interdisciplinary ways, leveraging the knowledge and expertise that exists in communities outside their usual domain (including in the fields of IT and RM, KM and BI)
![Page 27: Records Management Implications of Implementing Social ... · Records Management Implications of Implementing Social Media Tools: Thoughts From the Archivists’ Legal Counsel ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc699ead6a402d66670f5f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
