Internet and Electronic Information Management

Abstract

The number of information sources accessible through the Internet are ever increasing. Billions of documents including text, pictures. sound, and video are readily available for both scholarly and every-day uses. Even libraries and information centers with sizable budgets are having difficulties in coping with this increase. More developed tools and methods are needed to find, filter, organize and summarize electronic information sources. This paper is an overview of a wide variety of electronic information management issues ranging from infrastructure to the integration of information technology and content, from personalization of information services to "disintermediation." It discusses the issues of description. organization. collection management, preservation and archiving of electronic information and outlines Davenport's "ecological model" for information management and its components, namely, strategy, politics, behavior and culture, staff processes. and architecture.
