- Quote is from me
- Was true in the 1950s, less so today Why we so often end up working in the basement…
- Let’s begin with some definitions: What does “information management” mean? Here’s a definition from that great source of contemporary wisdom, Wikipedia. Information management is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences. … Management means the organization of and control over the structure, processing and delivery of information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_management The italics are mine. I would like to draw your attention to in this definition to the idea that information management is about flow: from source to audience. Information is seen something that can be collected, stored and selectively Distributed - almost as a sort of merchandise. In other words, information is a resource, a valuable asset that needs to be managed. This diagram uses the metaphor of traffic flow to illustrate the same idea. On the input side, information is collected or created using a variety of sources and techniques, such as data entry, document processing, scanning, etc. It is then carefully stored, preserved and managed. Information management means deciding how information should be organised and structured, how and when it will be made available, to whom and in what form. On the output side, information is made available through various different channels or media: as paper documents, via the internet, on the web or as email, etc. Taken as a whole, this diagram represents an “information system”. This encompasses the whole process from the creation or capture of information, through storage and management, to its delivery. Information systems are not just about computers, though information technology certainly plays an important part.
