This MoReq section is sponsored by the Information and Records Management Society. It was originally developed by Marc Fresko of Inforesight Limited, who has donated the site to the IRMS. This site contains a wide range of background and supporting material concerning the MoReq2 specification and other comparable specifications from all over the world
For many resources, this site shows the country of origin using a flag, and the language of the resource using the language name and language code (the codes are taken from ISO 639).
The content of this site has been frozen and will therefore not be updated.
You can use the resources in this section:
- to learn about MoReq
- to inform others about MoReq
- to prepare presentations and other material that refer to MoReq
- to see how widespread knowledge about MoReq is, and to prove how influential MoReq has become
In other words, there are lots of resources that can help you do your job, by helping you to convince management, by telling you what others think, what others do, and by providing points of contact.
MoReq has become a worldwide phenomenon. Articles, web pages, presentations, adaptations and other resources about MoReq are published continually. MoReq conferences are held, training delivered, and policies published… and this all around the globe, not just in Europe.
Tens of thousands of resources mention MoReq. We cannot include all of them on this site, and even if we could we would not. We try to include here resources that are useful in some way – because they illustrate a point, because of their language or provenance, because of their content and so on.
