(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. [Gary D. Blass et al.
