Trusting Records in the Cloud

‘Comprehensive in scope and expertly organized in presentation, Trusting Records in the Cloud is the ideal textbook for teaching archivists and records managers students and therefore an unreservedly recommended addition to college and university Contemporary Library Science instructional reference collections.’

‘Trusting Records in the Cloud thus fills an important gap in the professional literature by directly addressing questions of how to establish and maintain trust in records and systems. Along with the individual studies and reports produced by the ITrust initiative, this volume will do much to prepare institutions for the hurdles we will inevitably face in coming years.’
