Accessing and Managing Records in Institutional Databases at the University of New South Wales
The University of New South Wales (UNISA) is a public university with a strong focus on research and academic excellence. To support its diverse student population, UNISA operates an institutional database system that contains records related to students, staff, faculty, and external partners. Accessing and managing these records is crucial for ensuring data accuracy, security, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The process of accessing and managing records in an institutional database typically involves the following steps:
* Authentication
- Students and staff need to authenticate themselves using their usernames and passwords to access the database.
* Search and Retrieval
- Users can search for specific records using keywords, filters, or other criteria.
* Data Management
- Records are stored in a controlled environment with strict data protection policies in place.
* Reporting and Analytics
- Access to records is restricted to authorized personnel who need to report on specific data or analyze trends.
To facilitate the process of accessing and managing records, UNISA uses its Institutional Repository (IR) system. The IR provides a centralized platform for users to search, access, and manage their institutional records. Users can also use the IR to collaborate with other researchers and stakeholders by providing access to sensitive information while ensuring data protection guidelines are followed.

Additionally, the UNISA Data Protection Policy (here) outlines the procedures for handling sensitive data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
