misfile

With a relatively inexpensive investment in a high-speed scanner, you can convert tons of paper into PDF or TIF formats, which will reduce the number of documents you have around the office (and thus the amount of paper you can misplace, misfile, or outright lose).

The problem then becomes that we lose sight of that piece and, in many instances, even lose, misplace or misfile it.

Manually indexing documents is time-consuming and presents an opportunity to misfile the document.

If users do not participate in the development stage, either they will misfile records or, worse, not use the RMA at all.

As Jean Tener points out in the "Archival Introduction" to each volume, the inventories are arranged according to standard archival methodology, by series, sub-series, and file, with an attempt to maintain original order wherever possible: "only the most blatant misfiles being corrected." As all bibliographers, textual scholars, and book historians well know, original order is essential for anyone attempting to date undated manuscripts and develop insights into the literary context in which any particular work was produced.
