Kia ora koutou,

UC is undertaking a project to implement a document management system that will ensure we can store, find, and manage our documents in an easy and intuitive way(!).  The plan is to use SharePoint and to create a taxonomy for use across all functions of the university.

This is a massive (and possibly thankless) task, and past experience shows us that it is not easy to create a system that is used consistently by all and enables us to be compliant with our document management obligations.

The first step of this project is to create the taxonomy that represents the work of the university.  Dale, Erin and I have met with the project team to discuss what the Library needs from a taxonomy and we have agreed some top-level functions.

If you are interested to see the structure so far, or to have a chat about the project and what it means for us, please get in touch.

We expect this work to continue for some years as our document systems are reorganised retrospectively.

Ngā mihi,

Sara
