V. COURSE CONTENT
It is the content and function that determines a record, regardless of it being on paper, carved on a rock,
written on a cocktail napkin, in an electronic device, or whatever media contains the information.
Records Management is the systematic control over the creation, maintenance and disposition of records.
Records Management today has to link the past with the present and preserve for the future while trying to
keep up with constantly evolving technologies. Any information created, received and maintained as evidence
and information by an organization in pursuance of its legal obligations or business transactions has
something to do with records management.

1.3.1 To create records that are necessary for the efficient and successful operation of an organization
1.3.3 To save or retain the records that are necessary for the continued operation of an organization.
1.4.1 Decision Making – Records have been described as the extension of the brains. No organization
can exist without adequate records. Adequate records does not mean keeping everything that are
sent to the Records Unit. The traditional method of records keeping is to keep and store
everything. Management depends on accurate records. In decision making, failure on the part of
those maintaining the records to give accurate records would result in an unsound decision.
1.4.2 Economic Waste – Paperwork is the most expensive activity but essential to an organization. The
organization must have to appropriate and spend thousand of pesos for personal services,
supplies and equipment. The devotion to the maintenance of the traditional method of records
keeping result to economic waste in relation to the total outlay of an organization. Unless
management recognizes the records management in an organization, is separate and highly
important operational function, an organization shall continue to appropriate and spend this large
amount of money. Inspite of this large amount appropriated and spent, there would still be
inefficiency and mishandling of records.

1.4.3 Solution – The inefficiency and mishandling or records could only be solved through a scientific
approach to the establishment of an integrated records management program. If established, the result will
be the efficient and economical handling of records. There will be fewer but better records, better service
and sound decision.
CONCLUSION
The ultimate test of a good records management program is whether the records are
available to those who need them, when and where they are needed, the manner in which they are made
available and at what cost.

The lesson provides the students an overview on how to store records in the most efficient way possible,
some type of filing or storing method must be used. A filing method, sometimes called a storage method, describe
the way in which records are stored in a container.
2. Alphabetize by arranging files in unit-by-unit order and letter-by-letter within each unit
V. COURSE CONTENT
The most important filing concept to remember is: All filing is done to retrieve information. To retrieve
information efficiently , a set of rules must be followed. Different businesses have different needs for information
retrieval. Not every business follows a universal set of rules for alphabetic filing because the goals and needs of
each business vary.

A filing method, sometimes called a storage method, describe the way in which records are stored
in a container.
The Alphabetic storage method is a method of storing records arranged according to the letters of
the alphabet. However, consistently accurate alphabetic filing isn’t that simple. Look at the telephone
books of two major cities and you will find major discrepancies in the order of the listings. Another
example is filing under the letters “Mc” Mc is not one of the 26 letters of the alphabet; however, it is
included in some alphabetic filing systems and not in others.
Procedures for storing records alphabetically vary among organizations and among departments
within organizations. Therefore the filing procedures to be used in any one office must be determined,
recorded, approved, and followed with no deviation.
INDEXING is the mental process of determining the filing segment by which a record is to stored or
the placing or listing of items in an order that follows a particular system. The filing segment is the name
by which a record is stored and requested. In alphabetic storage, indexing means determining the name
that is to be used in filing.
In an alphabetic arrangement, the selection of the right name by which to store means that record
will be found quickly when it is needed. If the wrong name is selected, much time will be wasted trying to
locate the record when it is eventually requested.
