Retention schedules help organizations stay organized, reduce risk, and ensure important information is kept as long as it’s needed.

Using a retention schedule means you’re not guessing what to keep or when to let it go.

#RIMMonth🗃️How long should you keep records?

A retention (or disposition) schedule is the official guide that:
• Identifies the types of records your organization creates
• Tells you how long to keep each one
• Outlines when records can be archived or safely disposed of

We’ll also honor Carol Haralson with the Arrell Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award.

It’s Records and Information Management #RIMMonth!
Every record tells a story, but only if it’s properly managed, preserved, and easy to find when needed.
A record can be more than just a document. It can be a paper file, book, email, photo, recording, video, or any material.

[Oklahoma Dept of Libraries @OKDeptLibraries]

From important personal information to public records, organizing and maintaining these materials helps ensure they are easy to find, use, and rely on when it matters most.
We’re spotlighting the value of good records management and how it supports efficiency & accountability.
