Record Keeping and Storage of Information

Joan Moncrieff and Doreen Sharp

Chapter 14 in The Professional Secretary’s Handbook, 1980, pp 122-134 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Modern filing systems range between two extremes. At one end of the scale is the comparatively small personalised system, suitable for the immediate needs of a secretary and her chief, or for a department with a limited number of staff. At the other end are found the enormous installations catering for the records of whole sections of industry, such as the automated-retrieval computer-controlled centralised schemes which cater for licensing departments, insurance, banking, marketing, warehousing, the health services and many other concerns with country-wide records which continually increase in numbers. (See also section on automated filing under Electronic Offices.)
