Subject: Retention Schedules and Deaccession Policies for Casino
Surveillance Video


Hello-

I'm a graduate student at UCLA's Moving Image Archive Studies Program
and I am currently doing research on retention schedules and
deaccession policies as they pertain to surveillance video at casinos
(and not just in Las Vegas).  I've already got one article called
"Condition Critical: Developing Records Retention Schedules" from the
Information Management Journal, as well as an article on email
retention.  These are both great starts, but I'm looking for more
readings.  Any helpful suggestions on some good articles/book chapters
on traditional retention schedules or deaccession policies in
archives?  This is quite an interesting topic for me since film and
video archives traditionally do not have retention schedules or
deaccession polices.  Any help or leads would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Christopher Lane
