Records & Information Management

The Records and Information Management (RIM) program strives to create a unified, consistent, efficient and effective approach to the management of records and information resources in all formats throughout Lansing Community College, across all divisions, departments and campuses.

RIM develops, implements and monitors LCC records and information management functions including:

• Retention
• Disposal and disposition
• Document and data storage
• Records management policies, guidelines, best practices & recommendations
• The preservation of materials of enduring historical value in the LCC Archives

The key to better records and information management is to make it part of an ongoing business process so that records are appropriately stored, transferred, and disposed of in the normal course of business, not simply when space runs out or when staff retires. This will reduce the costs and burdens caused by systems or space limitations and by staff turn-over.
