Records Management System: Pilot Projects Functional Report, 1998

The Iowa Department of Transportation began preparation for the acquisition of an electronic document management system in 1996. The first phase was development of a strategic plan. The plan provided guidelines for defining the acquisition and implementation of a document management system to automate document handling and distribution. Phase 2 involved developing draft standards (document, indexing and technology) for planning and implementation of a document management system. These standards were to identify existing industry standards and determine which standards would best support the specific requirements of the Iowa Department of Transportation. During development of these standards, the decision was made to enlarge the scope of this effort from a document management system to a records management system (RMS). Phase .3 identified business processes that were to be further developed as pilot projects of a much larger agency-wide records management system

The Federal Factor in the Government and Politics of Peninsula Malaysia.

This thesis is a study of the federal element - that is, the relations between the Centre and States - in the politics and government of Peninsula Malaysia. It attempts to do this by going beyond federalism as just a matter of constitutional law. For the Constitution provides only the formal boundaries within which several crucial components of the political structure operate - for example administrative organisations and political parties. These individually and in their interactions affect and are affected by the federal element of the political structure. Thus, the thesis focuses on four components of the political structure - Constitution, finance, administrative organisations and political parties (essentially one-party dominance). The Chapters have been organised to reflect these concerns. The examination of these components suggests two main characteristics of federalism in Peninsula Malaysia. First, the Federation is tightly organised and within it the Centre, initially placed in a strong position vis-a-vis the States, has been growing even stronger. Second, the impact of the Centre's dominance is uneven as between States. There seems to be no reason why, despite episodes of States resistance, the former tendency should not be maintained. The latter feature, however, is likely to be constant
