Armah, S. K. and Fiave, J. B. K. (2016). Managing Personal Records in the College of Agriculture Education (CAGRIC) of the University of Education, Winneba: The Challenges and the Way Forward. International Journal of Innovative Research and Development, 5,
Abstract
The University employs staff and when these categories of staff are employed, personal records are created for them in the form of hard copies. Although computers were once thought to be ushering in the age of the paperless offices, the College of Agriculture Education of the University of Education, Winneba is still experiencing exponential growth and reproduction of records. Besides, the management of personal information has become a bit cumbersome due to their bulky nature, longevity and sensitivity. Therefore, it is essential for the College to develop sound personal records management strategies that are grounded in thoughtful and effective procedures to present summaries of personal records and details of employees at the lowest cost with respect to time and effort. It is imperative that the adoption and implementation of this proposed database system of personal record keeping, which is supposed to run side by side with the paper based personal records, will increase accessibility to personal information faster search and retrieval, improve efficiency and productivity and provide adequate security for vital personal information.

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of the built environment in the College of Agriculture Education of the University of Education, Winneba in respect of the extent to which the academic, residential and recreational facilities are accessible to People with Disabilities (PWDs). Findings from the study indicate that almost all the facilities on the Campus have serious deficiencies as far as accessibility to the built environment is concerned. It was also found that the New Lecture Theatre and the New Student Hostel, which obviously are the most modern facilities among the structures, have better facilities for PWDs. Most of the access routes to and around the various facilities in the College are inaccessible to PWDs. It is recommended that at least one entrance per facility should be made accessible to a wheelchair user. It is also recommended that internal ramps and other barrier free facilities, including lifts should be incorporated into the construction of the New Library Complex and the Chapel Extension Project (Lecture Halls) which are under construction.
