Overview

The field of Information blends the basic human need for information with involvement in cutting-edge technology and the development of systems for acquiring, storing, organizing and delivering information.

The critical function of the information professional is to fit human needs to information systems rather than requiring humans to fit information systems.

Learning outcomes
