It is recommended to have completed the module "Law and legal regime of documents", taught in the first semester of the Master.
The main objective of the course is for students to acquire skills and knowledge that allow them to manage information and documentation in the Public Administration. For this, there will be two training lines; Transparency and access to information (L1); and documentary evaluation (L2)
L1. In the first line of training, related to transparency and access to information, the objectives will be:
• Know the data and information that will be published to comply with the requirements of transparency in the new digital administration.
• Know the regulation of the right of access to public information in order to correctly attend to the requests that are presented in exercise of this right.
• Know the regulation of the right to the protection of personal data, so that these data are treated correctly, and the obligations imposed by the regulations on this matter are complied with.
L2. Records appraisal
That the students have theoretical knowledge and skills to evaluate the documentation and apply criteria to manage the records life cycle in real cases.
These skills are essential in order to manage, work and implement records management systems, taking into account that evaluation becomes one of the pillars of these.
At the end of the course students will have the ability to appraisal, apply the removal procedure and the Catalan disposition rules (TAAD), design retention schedules
and apply elimination and preservation policies.
To achieve the objectives the formative line is composed of theoretical and practical lessons in class as well as some individual exercises to be done outside the classes.
