The seven-page assessment, titled Leveraging Technology to Improve FOIA Searches, focuses on three recommendations from the 2016-2018 term of the FOIA Advisory Committee to the Archivist of the United States aimed at improving searches. One of the three recommendations by the Committee was that the Office of Information Policy (OIP) at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) collect detailed information in CFO reports regarding specific methods and technologies that agencies are using to search their electronic records, including email. OGIS examined the CFO reports and summarizes the responses to this question in this assessment.
Examples of how agencies are leveraging technology are included in the report. See an idea that you wish to know more about? Contact OGIS and we will put you in touch with your counterparts at other agencies to start a discussion.
