Information surveys
In addition to its monitoring surveys (the Records Management Surveys), State Records also conducts short surveys for information gathering purposes on records issues and practices. These information surveys are only conducted with a small sample of public offices and are not compliance oriented.
The information survey is a key mechanism by which State Records can determine how practices and processes are performed in public offices, where there may be issues, and how these issues could be better addressed. Data obtained from the information survey is used for planning purposes and may also be incorporated into State Records' annual report. Public offices can use the survey data for benchmarking and information purposes to assist with improvements in recordkeeping.
