Abstract
A record holder accesses a coordinating server via a network. The coordinating server either itself stores or communicates electronically with one or more other servers that store electronic records (ER), including at least some associated with the record holder. Third-party record recipients are also connected via the network to the coordinating server and possibly also to the ER server(s). The user accesses the coordinating server, selects at least one of the recipients and specifies which of the electronic records, or portions thereof, that the user wishes that particular recipient to be able to access, possibly along with other access right parameters such as an access time or period. The recipient then accesses the coordinating server and/or one of the ER servers to retrieve electronic records of interest, which are made available according to the access rights and limitations pre-set by the user.
