Local public corporations are closely related to the welfare promotion of local residents because they are responsible for the management of public facilities and are entrusted with some of the duties of local governments. Besides these responsibilities, they also have to conduct systematic and professional record management to ensure the legitimacy and fairness of organizational activities as the importance of ethical management and knowledge management emerges in organization. With regard to this task, this study proposes an improvement plan for the records management of local public corporations by analyzing the current status of records management and the awareness level for the possibility of developments in record management work. For this endeavor, the study conducted a literature review, gathered 50 survey responses from archivists from local public corporations nationwide, and performed 18 interviews with the survey respondents. Based on the analysis of these data, the study proposes that the National Archives of Korea should strengthen the role of supporting local public corporations. Moreover, local public corporations are suggested to improve records management at the local level and form a cooperative union among similar corporations.

The requirements of being archivists and records managers were revised in 2011 and expanded in the scope of their education levels such as having master's or higher degrees in archives and records management, or completion of one year program of archives and records management after having B. A. degree in archival science, history or library and information science with passing of exams recruiting the experts in the field. However, archivists are not much recognized as professionals since there is no definite regulation for being experts in the field. Accordingly, this study aims to put forth the development of their qualification by comparing qualification factors of developed countries for archivists and records managers. Three factors of professional qualification for archivists and records managers are suggested as follows: certification of a standardized curriculum of archival studies, a proposed certification system for the archivists and recognition of working experience and specified duties to the archivists' qualifications as a way to acknowledge career-based expertise.

Accordingly, in-depth interviews were conducted after comparing and analyzing the institutional systems that restricted the members' record management activities.

In the electronic record environment, there are discussions about the necessity of using records as information, and ISO 15489:2016 defines records as one of the information assets. In acceptance of this concept of information assets, the national archives of each country have established related policies and guidelines to actively promote information asset management. This paper intends to analyze the information asset management policies and guidelines that are established by the national archives of each country. This is to identify global trends for information assetization of records in the digital environment and derive benchmarking factors for seeking institutional establishment in Korea. To this end, the definition of records in ISO standards and related research results are analyzed to investigate the conceptual origins of information assets. Moreover, the actual cases about information asset management of the national archives of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia are investigated. Based on this, the implications of overseas cases and issues to be supplemented to establish the relationship between records and information assets are presented as a part of seeking institutional establishment in Korea.

This paper is an example of records & archival management in Sagamihara City, Japan. The purpose of this paper is to examine the process and main contents of the Japanese record community making 'exemplary records management system' in the region. Specifically, the organization of the Records Management Council, which performs the limited function and role of the 'advisory body', actively utilized the organization of 'local government', which is the main governance organization of municipal administration in the process of regulating the ordinances and related regulations. In this process, related record information at each stage of record management is actively provided to the members of the society. This case is significant in that it presents the "practical view" of the recording community in the reality of the records management in Korea where there is no archive, which is the material foundation of the realization of 'systematic record management'.

Despite the Public Records Management Act in effect for more than 10 years and the various achievements of 'Records management Innovation' made by the former government, records management in Korea still remains unsatisfactory in many fields. Especially one of the main concerns is about the records centers in the public offices failed to work efficiently. There remains lots of so-called ancient regime elements in the records center system, which causes the lack of stability. Divisions of general affairs in the public offices had played main role in records management for more than 50 years since the establishment of the government, and their role was limited to take over some records created and to manage the poor stack room. According to the Public Records Management Act revised in 2007, data center was renamed to records center and it was obliged to place records center under the office of planning management or the office of administration. But records centers have been nevertheless operated at a very formal level in most public offices. It is the real state of affairs that professional records management system interconnecting records office, records center and archives is not achieved. Why is it? This article is an answer to this question. This article attempt to find out on the inner causes such as structure of records center, records management profession, records management methodology, and above all historical background. In addition, it put stress on the necessity of definite separation between records office and records center and assurance of independent operation of records center for the normalization of the records management system. Improvement of methodology including records management process is also of great importance. And the standardization of records management business of the records center is suggested as one of the main tasks on the basis of the accumulation of 'best practices of records management' in the cooperation with the records management community.
