German德语词条或短语: Aktentourismus
Can anyone think of a snappy translation for this term? I can find examples of its use, all in german, on Google, but have racked my brains to think of an English equivalent other than "document movements"

The text is talking about an electronic personnel archive system to avoid things like "Aktentourismus"

e.g.  **Aktentourismus** (Umorganisationen, Ausgliederungen, Versetzungen)

Many thanks!

中性态度 Ian M-H: Not sure: doesn't one shuffle files/paper on one's own desk, whereas this is about files going on longer 'journeys' round the office or between offices?

  -> If it means relocating files from A to B due to organisational changes, rather than just rearranging files, then perhaps 'file relocation' (not as snappy as 'Tourismus', unfortunately)

floating files


说明:
Maybe? This was certainly a term in use in military administration, back in the days of typewriters, carbon paper and Gestetner duplicators. An extra copy of every letter written and sent was produced and put on a thing called the "float file". After a goodly collection had been gathered together (weekly at unit level, daily in big HQs) this file was given a distribution stamp and sent around all departments. Thus everyone knew - if only in general terms and from despatched mail - something about everything that was going on, even if it didn`t directly affect them or their department.

paper tourism


说明:
something more in the line of tourism, getting away from files

it's not quite a paper chase
