President Obama gave agencies four months to come up with a plan to improve records management. Obama said one aim of the plan is to improve public access to government records by moving them to the National Archives and Records Administration. Chief records officer for the U.S. Government said the directive is really about driving a more open government where citizens can access information in a more “Web 2.0″ format. Obama noted that the current federal records management system is based on an outdated approach involving paper and filing cabinets.”]
