information resource management
     
        irm a philosophical and practical approach to managing
        government information.  information is regarded as a valuable
        resource which should be managed like other resources, and
        should contribute directly to accomplishing organisational
        goals and objectives.  irm provides an integrated view for
        managing the entire life-cycle of information, from
        generation, to dissemination, to archiving and/or destruction,
        for maximising the overall usefulness of information, and
        improving service delivery and program management.
     
        irm views information and information technology as an
        integrating factor in the organisation, that is, the various
        organisational positions that manage information are
        coordinated and work together toward common ends.  further,
        irm looks for ways in which the management of information and
        the management of information technology are interrelated, and
        fosters that interrelationship and organisational integration.
     
        irm includes the management of 1 the broad range of
        information resources, e.g., printed materials, electronic
        information, and microforms, 2 the various technologies and
        equipment that manipulate these resources, and 3 the people
        who generate, organise, and disseminate those resources.
        overall the intent of irm is to increase the usefulness of
        government information both to the government and to the
        public.
