  • The paperwork reduction act of 1995: A second chance for Information Resources Management☆
    Government Information Quarterly, 1996
    Co-Authors: David Plocher
    Abstract:

    Abstract The continuing transformation of our society by Information technology presents many opportunities to improve government operations and services. Unfortunately, significant Management improvements are required for Federal agencies to take advantage of those opportunities and to avoid wasting billions of taxpayer dollars. Enactment of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13) represents congressional endorsement of a revised approach to Information Resources Management (IRM). The question is whether agencies will be able to discipline themselves to manage their Information Resources to improve program performance as required by the Act—and as increasingly demanded by Congress, the President, and the public. This article reviews the origins of IRM in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, the Act's implementation and its 1995 reauthorization of appropriations, and current challenges confronting IRM.

  • Promoting education for Information Resources Management in the federal government
    Government Information Quarterly, 1995
    Co-Authors: Charles R. Mcclure
    Abstract:

    Abstract The recent initiatives from the Clinton administration and Congress to “reinvent government,” to “develop electronic Information services,” to “better manage Information technology” (IT), and to “improve access to electronic government Information,” certainly is welcome. But policymakers need to go beyond the proposals and develop specific program initiatives and implementation strategies if such goals are to be realized. The realization of these goals will require a range of new educational program initiatives to retrain and retool government officials, especially those engaged in Information Resources Management (IRM). If these initiatives to reinvent government are to occur successfully, the administration and Congress must create a major program initiative—with adequate financial support—to revamp the educational programs that support IRM. Simply put, the changes occurring in both Information technology and in managing that technology are outpacing many government officials' ability to respond in a planned and coherent fashion. Moreover, the existing infrastructure to develop Federal IRM education and training is fragmented and poorly supported, lacks clear policy direction, and desperately needs updating and reconceptualization.

  • Federal Information Resources Management: New Challenges for the Nineties.
    Government Information Quarterly, 1994
    Co-Authors: Joe Ryan, Charles R. Mcclure, Rolf T. Wigand
    Abstract:

    Abstract Information Resources Management (IRM), introduced two decades ago in 1974, emerged in the 1980s as a key organizing framework for U.S. Federal Information policy and Management practices. IRM in the 1990s must deal with a fundamental shift in focus from efficient internal Management of paper-based Information delivery systems to effective Management of a externally targeted, digitally networked, interactive, exchange of Information and services with citizens. This changed context will bring both new opportunities and challenges. This article identifies critical success factors that IRM must address and offers recommendations for how best to meet these challenges and opportunities based on discussions with senior IRM leaders.

  • IV - A Visualization Model for Information Resources Management
    2008 12th International Conference Information Visualisation, 2008
    Co-Authors: Zhou Ning, Wu Jia-xin, Wang Bing, Zhang Shaolong
    Abstract:

    In general, digital Information Resources can be categorized into three categories, text, voice (audio) and image (video). This article discusses a theoretical method of Information visualization system and its corresponding technologies. The system is the results of the project (70473068) supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The paper specifically discusses constructing strategy of visualization model, environmental configuration, functional module and operation method of prototype system. What's more, it further discusses construction of text, voice (audio) and image Information visualization model, data preparation and data scale, operation interface and running result. The research represented is firstly a helpful attempt in studying visualization model of general Information Resources Management with certain experience achieved, and secondly, it also explored a road to success in terms of visualization of Information in Chinese.

  • Comparative Analysis of Information Literacy Competence among Students of Information Resources Management, Babcock University, Nigeria.
    2016
    Co-Authors: Uloma Doris Onuoha, Rachel Folashade Aina, Vincent E. Unegbu
    Abstract:

    This study was carried out to ascertain the Information literacy competence of Information Resources Management students at Babcock University. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population consisted of 261 graduate and undergraduate students. Sampling was enumerative as all members of the population were chosen to participate in the study. Data was collected using a self- constructed questionnaire. Frequency and percentage counts were used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed a high level of Information literacy competence. Graduate students were, however, found to have a higher degree of Information literacy competence compared to undergraduate students. The greatest challenge to attaining Information literacy competence was identified as the inability of the university library to support learning through formal and informal user education programmes. Based on the findings, the study concluded that Information literacy competence is indeed necessary for academic success as it serves as the road map for navigating the world of Information. The study, therefore, recommends that Information literacy is built into the curriculum irrespective of the programme of study. University libraries, on the other hand, should provide Information materials for individual reading and employ a variety of methods to teach Information literacy at all levels of study.

  • Reading Habits and Library Use among Students of Information Resources Management, Babcock University, Nigeria
    Journal of Education and Practice, 2013
    Co-Authors: Uloma Doris Onuoha, Enyeribe Vincent Unegbu, Felicia O. Umahi
    Abstract:

    This study investigated the reading habits and library use patterns of students in the department of Information Resources Management, Babcock University, Nigeria.  The descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population was made up of 210 students in the 2 nd and 3 rd year of study. Sampling was enumerative. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Data collected were analysed using frequency and percentage counts. Findings indicate that majority of the respondents spend more than an hour reading every day. The purpose of reading was found to be mainly for entertainment. Respondents were also found to read mostly newspapers and other general interest magazine. In the area of library use, majority of the respondents browse the shelves in search of reading materials; consult library staff and make use of online databases. The least used library resource was found to be e books. Despite using most library Resources, respondents affirmed that visit to the library was not a popular activity. Based on the findings, the study concludes that students of IRM engage in reading activates both for entertainment and education purposes although most reading activities took place outside the university library. Considering the role of the respondents as future Information professionals the study recommends that students make regular use of the university library in order to acquire valuable practical experience. It was also recommended that students explore the use of e books especially through the internet as this would afford them the opportunity of reading books which may not be available in the university bookstore or library. Keywords: Information literacy, Information Resources Management, Library use, Reading culture, Reading habits.
