The way of developing the program majoring in “Records management and archival studies” at the Faculty of Records Management and Technotronic Archives of the Institute for History and Archives of the RSUH: An outlook from inside

Abstract

The paper examines ways of improving the education of students majoring in “Records management and archival studies”. The complaints of the employers about the insufficient professional quality of young records managers can be heard with increasing frequency. These are basically focused on a too large scope of historical subjects and a too small scope of informational technologies used in the records management curriculum. For that reason the issues of modernizing the education of records managers are essential in all the universities concerned. The Faculty of Records Management and Technotronic Archives of the Institute for History and Archives has studied the employers’ complaints and has analysed their causes. As a result it plans to develop a new comprehensive program “Informational and documentation support of management” which will focus on using international technologies in records management.
