Abstract: Information management concerns the control over how information is created, acquired, organized, stored, distributed, and used as a means of promoting, efficient and effective information access, processing, and use by people and organizations. Various perspectives of information management exist. In this paper, three are presented: the organizational, library and personal perspectives. Each deals with the management of some or all of the processes involved in the information lifecycle. Each concerns itself with the management of different types of information resources. The purpose of this paper is to clearly describe what, “information management” is and to clarify how information management differs in regards to closely related terms.
