What does an information management professional do? 

Information management is a broad field that can include:
  • records management
  • research
  • archival studies
  • libraries
  • information security

There are many different types of positions that involve an information management component. You might be an information manager if you are responsible for:
  • proper saving, filing or naming of documents
  • securing confidential information
  • responding to information requests, whether informal or through the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act
  • selecting and implementing new software or other tools for managing documents
  • training employees on how to manage documents, or on document management software systems

Information is the life-blood of any organization. We need the right information at the right time in order to make good decisions, justify our actions, provide efficient services to stakeholders, and show our accomplishments.
