Mechanized forms are also used by some clerks that are rotated to bring the needed records to them.

However, others convert important documents to film that is stored on microfilm or on microfiche. Imaging systems are also used by file clerks that scan paper files or film and store this material on computers. These records are useful and very important and must be accurate, up to date and readily available. Clerks check the files regularly to make sure that items are placed or sequenced correctly.

File clerks provide the records to the person on their request. Records may be a sheet of paper, which are stored on an image on microform or in a file cabinet. File clerks make copies of records and distribute them. Also they keep track of materials that are removed from the file. There are varieties of storage devices such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and mainframe to store the information or to keep record.
