For the past six years, the University of Melbourne’s eScholarship Research Centre (ESRC) has collaborated with the Victorian Government’s Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) and its predecessors on the socio-technical challenge of developing organisational knowledge about records and their context. Last month some of that work was recognised with a Mander Jones Award for the article ‘Cultivating Capability: The Socio-Technical Challenges of Integrating Approaches to Records and Knowledge Management’ by Michael Jones and Richard Vines.
