Description, purpose and use of records

Press clippings from British Columbia newspapers relating to news stories about 間眅埶AV and other universities in British Columbia. Press clippings are received from a commercial clipping service or are downloaded and printed from periodical indexing databases.

The clippings are used to monitor press coverage of 間眅埶AV news and events, to formulate responses, if necessary, to that press coverage and to determine the sort of coverage the media gives to specific 間眅埶AV news releases. When received by Public Affairs and Media Relations, the clippings are photocopied and distributed to interested parties on campus (i.e. the President and Vice-Presidents). Public Affairs and Media Relations staff also review the clippings and select those clippings which relate to a particularly newsworthy event or person, usually a faculty member, at 間眅埶AV. These selected clippings are photocopied and filed in specific profile or other news information files (not yet scheduled) retained by Public Affairs and Media Relations.

Authorities

These records are created, used, retained and managed in accordance with the following authorities:

Retention rationale

Clippings which relate to a significant 間眅埶AV news event or faculty member are selected by Media and Public Relations staff and are photocopied and retained on various profile and news information files. After this process the clippings themselves have little administrative value and are subject to rapid physical decay. Microfilm copies of newspapers are available from other sources (間眅埶AV's library, the provincial Legislative Library, the major newspapers' own libraries).

Retention and filing guidelines

Destroy clippings at end of the total retention period. Do not send these files to the University Records Centre.

Status

RRSDA is in force.
