Recordkeeping and Web 2.0
Local Government has pioneered the use of web 2.0 technologies in the public sector. Across NSW, community engagement, consultation and information have been massively enabled by local government's innovative and enthusiastic use of web 2.0 capacities. Local government is using the web in the way it should be used - to create networks and engaged local communities.
What local government is doing with web 2.0, however, is still officially government business. It is therefore subject to the same mandatory recordkeeping rules and compliance requirements that govern all other areas of Council operations.
So how do these two world intersect? How can we marry traditional, rigid recordkeeping requirements with the dynamic and interactive web 2.0 world? What can we do to create an environment where local government can continue its active and innovative use of web 2.0, but still have all the evidence and information it needs to meet business and regulatory requirements?
In this interactive workshop we will:
* use real-world examples to examine specific business and legal requirements for recordkeeping in the web 2.0 environment, and
* bearing in mind technical feasibility and operational practicality, work through some different options for recordkeeping in the online world.
At the end of the workshop, we will have some real-world solutions for recordkeeping in this dynamic world.
Come armed with some detail about your own Council's current or intended use of web 2.0 and the recordkeeping issues you want resolved.
