Manage your docs like an archivist

Description

How can you easily retrieve your (google) docs? How can you keep the whole picture in mind?

The first step is to give docs consistent names, but we also need to check our database regularly, and decide what to keep or destroy. What should we base those decisions on? In this talk I’ll give an overview of how you can efficiently handle your docs through the lifecycle model (planning - creating - keeping/destroying) used by archivists/records managers. What is important to keep in mind? How can you organise your own database or that of a company? As a conclusion, I will help you to create a "manage the docs" checklist.
