The CIC University Archivists Group, CIC UAG, has recently approved a statement on Standards for an Electronic Records Policy. The CIC (Committee on Institutional Cooperation), with headquarters in Champaign, Illinois, is the academic consortium of the Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago. Its programs encompass nearly all aspects of university activity. CIC archivists and records managers have recognized the critical importance of having electronic records addressed as an institutional policy issue. In developing the Standards statement, the CIC archivists focused on identifying key components of an electronic records policy that could then be customized to meet individual CIC institutional settings, needs, and environments.

All three members of the CIC UAG working group, Nan Kunde, University of Wisconsin, Nancy Deromedi, Bentley Historical Library, and Phil Bantin, University of Indiana-Bloomington, are also members of the SAA electronic records section.
