The Records & Information Management On-line Service

Index to the RIMOS papers

The index to the Records and Information Management On-line Service (RIMOS) comprises subject, author and country of origin classifications. As a result, most items appear in more than one part of the index.
Subject search: A search for papers on Electronic Records Management, for instance, may be made from letter E, of course, but will also be found under Records Management at R.

Authors are indexed by surname, thus Washington consultant Richard E. "Rick" Barry may be found under letter B. Within the index, authors' names are given alphabetically by surname but are displayed with first names first.

The index contains a number of cross-references which are hypertext linked to their substantive reference. For example, the entry for United Kingdom links users to the details under Great Britain.
