I will be teaching this course as part of University of Toronto’s Certificate in Records Management Fundamentals.  Note that this course and the certificate is identical to previous years, but instead of being offered by the U of T iSchool Institute, it is now part of the School of Continuing Studies.  More information regarding this change can be found in this blog post.
