Between September 2003 and October 2005 nationally recognized experts
presented seven workshops and two targeted sessions in Jefferson City.
The Website includes summaries of the workshops and presentations,
copies of the PowerPoint presentations used during each day-long
session, along with video clips of the instructors discussing key
points. 

In addition, the project staff developed several resource tools to
provide additional information and guidance on topics covered in the
presentations and workshops. They include: 

*         Glossary of Electronic Records Terms
<http://www.sos.mo.gov/records/mereti/glossary.asp>  

*         Acronyms <http://www.sos.mo.gov/records/mereti/acronyms.asp> 

*         Common Electronic File Extensions
<http://www.sos.mo.gov/records/mereti/commonfileext.asp> 

*         Records Laws and Codes
<http://www.sos.mo.gov/records/mereti/resources.asp?nid=laws> 

*         Published Standards

*         Guidelines and Other Resources

The workshops <http://www.sos.mo.gov/records/mereti/?nid=workshops>
consisted of both basic and advanced sessions geared towards state and
local government record-keepers, information technology managers, legal
professionals, operating program managers, and others. These education
sessions were designed to provide attendees with information on various
issues related to the policies, practices, and technologies of
electronic records access and preservation. 

Targeted presentations
<http://www.sos.mo.gov/records/mereti/?nid=presentations>  before the
State's Information Technology Advisory Board (ITAB) and members of the
Missouri Bar Association's Technology/Computer Law and Government
Lawyers committees provided special awareness to groups of government
officials who influence electronic recordkeeping matters. The
presentations addressed issues such as authenticity, trust-worthiness,
and accessibility of records that are created and/or maintained in
electronic form.

We invite you to review the Website and would appreciate any comments
