UW Library Web Pages - Retention Policies
- Once each year, at a minimum (and just before major changes are implemented), a CD version of the UW Library Web will be burnt and a list of orphan files forwarded to owners with a request to delete unused files.
- Groups are responsible for the retention of their own data including the minutes of their meetings. The recommendation, according to UW policy, is that minutes should be retained for 5 years.
- If no identifiable user is located (e.g. a committee is disbanded or its work is completed), the Web Operational Management Group will take over retention responsibilities, including making decisions on retention.
- Personal web areas (the "~" or "public_html" directories) are excluded.
