Records and Information Management
Records and Information Management involves the proactive and effective practices of storing records, information and data in the appropriate locations and formats to ensure they are protected and easily accessible.
University records, information and data
UNE’s records are its corporate memory. Records can take many forms and formats, providing crucial evidence of actions and decisions and acting as an essential asset that supports daily operations and functions. These records safeguard the interests of the University, as well as the rights of our staff, students, alumni and the broader community, supporting UNE to deliver its services consistently and equitably.
Data holds the key to unlocking insights that support our effective decision making. In the dynamic landscape of higher education, understanding the fundamentals of data is integral in our pursuit of academic and institutional excellence.
