Records and Information Management Month Fact of the Week 
April is Records and Information Management (RIM) Month. Records Management is everyone's responsibility! Each employee at Jefferson Lab uses records as part of his or her job. Regardless of media, each employee should be aware of the records handled and the disposition rules of those records. Some records have a very short lifetime and may be disposed shortly after created or received. Some records, such as those pertaining to the radiation contamination program or accelerator facilities, have a lifetime that may exceed 75 years. To view the records schedules that govern Jefferson Lab's records, visit the "DOE Records Schedules" collection in Docushare or contact Kim Edwards at kindrew at jlab.org.
