A case study of records management practices in historic motor sport

Abstract

Pauline studies how information is perceived and used in organisations and communities. With this focus in mind, she completed her PhD at the University of Western Australia in 2011, studying how knowledge workers search for corporate information in electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS). Her PhD research is titled "EDRMS search behaviour: implications for records management practices". Pauline's current research interests are about the sustainability of communitybased information management practices using the motor sport community as a case study. Further interests include research about understanding the concept of 'information' using the draw-and-write research technique and visual arts methodology.

Australian motor sport enthusiasts’ leisure information behaviour

“…The research reported in this paper is part of continuing research by the author into the information management challenges of community archives and its sustainability in Australia using the motor sport community as a case study ( Joseph, 2015). First, this research investigated the information management practices at motor sport communitybased organisational levels at the historic car clubs, and the national and state offices of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) Ltd (Joseph (2016)). Second, it investigated what are the motor sport community's significant information assets (records and archives) (Joseph (2016)) including what information individual motor sport enthusiasts required from CAMS (Joseph (Peer Review)).…”

Development of a Recordkeeping Culture in Community‐Based Organisations in Bangladesh

“…Studies of recordkeeping practices in organisations run by volunteers are rare. Yet, as Joseph (2016, p. 330) wrote, many community groups face “considerable difficulties in capturing, managing and accessing their information assets”. Joseph (2015, 2016) studied recordkeeping practices in two historical motor‐sport community organisations in Australia, one being a national confederation with paid staff and the other one an affiliated club run by volunteers.…”

Joseph (2015, 2016) studied recordkeeping practices in two historical motor‐sport community organisations in Australia, one being a national confederation with paid staff and the other one an affiliated club run by volunteers. Like in the records management studies previously mentioned, her focus was to assess whether the recordkeeping practices of these organisations conformed to international standards.…”
