This paper reports on the method (content analysis) and findings of a research project to trace the development and trends in knowledge, archives and records management (KARM) as reflected in South African journals and magazines in the decade 1999–2008.
The study aimed to get answers to the following questions:
a) Which subjects related to KARM were covered by South African journals and magazines from year to year?
b) From which subject discipline viewpoints were articles written?
Outcome:
The findings and conclusions of the study can assist knowledge, archives and records managers to recognise and understand changes in their fields and to react to those changes.
