Fresno County Converting Records

Expected to save staff time, warehouse costs

Fresno County, Calif., is converting tons of paper records -- formerly overflowing aisles of the county's records storage warehouse -- into digital format. Useful records are scanned and put online, saving staff time, as well as warehouse and shipping costs. And the new system is expected to provide safety for valuable records, following a fire that destroyed records a year ago, according to the Fresno Bee.
