Information management

Abstract

Information management (IM) is a broad conceptual term that has various meanings and interpretations among different constituencies. Often the term is used interchangeably with others. For instance, information management is often equated with the management of information resources, the management of information technology (IT), or the management of information policies or standards.[1] Some suggest that information management draws upon ideas from both librarianship and information science.[2] The purpose of this entry is to clarify the meaning of the term “information management,” to showcase its major perspectives, and to illustrate how it relates to associated terms.
