DESCRIPTION
The PLL/SIS Records/Conflicts Management Group is comprised of
librarians who are responsible for managing records and/or conflicts
departments in their firms and corporations.
HISTORY
The Records Management Group began meeting informally at the AALL
meeting in Minneapolis in 1990. The group continued to meet for the next
two years, as required to achieve formal status. At the AALL meeting in
Boston in 1993, the group was formally recognized.

COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING
MEETINGS: The group holds a business meeting each year at the AALL
meeting, and has sponsored six substantive programs at AALL over the
past ten years, including the following: a daylong workshop on basic
legal records management practices and procedures (1998); sessions on
multitasking private law library managers (2000 and 2003); a program on
corporate family conflicts of interest research (2004); a program on
outsourcing information resources functions (2005); and the recent 2007
program entitled "The Challenge of Electronic Discovery: How Reference
Service, Records Management and Litigation Support Interact."
LISTSERV: The Records Management Group of PLL
uses a LinkedIn Group instead of an official listserv, which was
previously legalrec, so that non-AALL members can join in the
discussions. The LinkedIn group called PLL/SIS Records/Conflicts
Management Group can be accessed at: http://www.linkedin.com/e/2r9i99-gc6e7kyf-69/vgh/3257595/.
