2.23.14 Managing information outside of libraries/archives

Where to begin?  The library catalog search, with limits set for full-text and publication dates (Jan. 2013 – Dec. 2014)and English language :

Keyword: information management   NOT (keyword): librar*          NOT(keyword): archiv* 

yields Search Results: 464,697 which appear to be lengthy, scholarly articles within various business disciplines. Trying again: 

Subject: information management     NOT(Subject): librar*            NOT(Subject): archive* 

 yields Search Results: 9,087. How wonderful to have controlled vocabulary!

Taking a look at those Library of Congress Subject Headings beginning with Information asymmetry (p3851) and going to Information warfare (p3858), perhaps the management would involve “Information services”:

“(Here are entered works on organizations that provide information services. Works on sources of information in general, not limited to a specific format or medium including works that list organizations other than information services as sources of information, are entered under Information resources. Works on sources of information in a specific format or medium are entered under the heading for the format or medium.)” (p3852)

OR  “Information storage and retrieval systems”:

            “This heading may be further subdivided by subject, e.g. Information storage and retrieval systems –Accounting.” (p3853)

“Information management” is not an LC subject heading. Either “Information organization” or “Information resources management” might apply. The later term lists a broader term of management which is the objective, however, “information organization”  is noted:

            “Here are entered works on identifying, describing, and providing access to information-bearing entities in all kinds of environments, such as archives, libraries, museums, offices, and on the Internet, through the gathering of the entities into organized collections and/or through the creation of retrieval tools, such as bibliographies, catalogs, indexes, finding aids, registers, search engines, etc.”  (p3852)

Another search, with the limits as above:       Subject: Information Organization

AND (Subject): management             NOT (keyword): librar*          NOT (keyword): archive*

 yields Search Results: 200
