Information Management Training & Resource Links

Information, like any other resource, needs to be managed but before it can be managed it needs to be inventoried, organized and made accessible. Protection of traditional knowledge and issues around intellectual property face all communities. Let's work together to develop and share policies and best practices that we all can use. Professional training to become a professional specializing in libraries, records, archival management or museology is available at both the university and college level.
