e-Workbook enables organisations to understand, design, implement and
report on information audits
Organisations run on information -- from enterprise-level content on
intranets and databases to individual email repositories of employees.
Information often represents the greatest investment and one of the
greatest assets of an organisation.
Without a clear understanding of the nature, provenance, cost and
quality of that information, however, an organisation cannot get the
value from it. An information audit provides just that understanding
and can be a crucial aspect to the strategic use of information -- not
to mention regulatory compliance.
The Information Auditing Report and Tool Kit, 2nd edition, provides
information centres and CIOs with an easy-to-adapt introduction to key
principles of information auditing, along with a tool kit including 7
hands-on activities applicable to an information audit. Appendices
include a bibliography and guide to web-based resources for further
assistance.
Author Sue Henczel has updated, revised and significantly expanded the
original report, written in 2004 by Steve Wood. Henczel is also the
author of 'The Information Audit: A Practical Guide' (2001, Saur) and
many chapters, articles and conference papers on information auditing,
knowledge management, performance measurement and benchmarking. Her
current position is as the Manager of Faculty Services for Science and
Technology, and Campus Library Manager at Deakin University in
Geelong, Australia.
