    Rez. in: JASIST 56(2005) no.14, S.1556-1557 (J. Graef): "On one level, Information Strategy in Practice by Elizabeth Orna is a handbook an how to create an "information strategy." On another, it is a commentary an changing information roles and responsibilities in organizations. The main theme is aimed at information professionals (usually librarians) who want to learn the nuts and bolts of how to conduct an "information audit," how to develop an "information policy," and how to create an "information strategy." The subtext-that information management is everyone's responsibility-is a more radical (and interesting) message. An information strategy as defined by the author is an action plan for managing and applying an organization's information resources and supporting its essential knowledge base (the people who contribute and use information to achieve the organization's objectives). The emphasis is an a specific problem, function, or departmentnot the entire enterprise. For example, a strategy might be aimed at capturing knowledge that is transferred informally among employees or making an information system more efficient, less error prone, and more accessible. According to Orna, an information strategy is the last stage of a three-step process that begins with an audit (needs assessment), which is the basis tot a policy (objectives, priorities, and metrics). As she defines it, the audit describes "what is" in terms of information use. The policy describes "what should be," and the strategy shows how to get from "what is" to "what should be." Table l compares the three processes. The audit example is Orna's; the policy and strategy examples are mine. . . .
    Information Strategy succeeds as a guide for librarians who want to conduct an information audit and then follow it up with a set of recommendations and an action plan. IT staff who need to develop a specific kind of policy (e.g., for security or privacy) and businesspeople who want to develop an information strategy for competitive advantage should look elsewhere. Orna also makes a valuable contribution in raising such issues as "mutual information obligations," the relationship between information and knowledge management, the overemphasis an technology solutions and measuring of intellectual capital, and the need to support "incidental information managers." These would make good discussion topics for a graduate library/information science class or a roundtable of practitioners.

    Abstract
    Policy paper prepared by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies, Westminster University, London, for the British Library Board. Reports the results of a study of changes in the provision of electronic information to end users in UK academic libraries, conducted by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies, Westminster University, during the period 1988 to 1992. The period has seen a shift in expenditure from external online information services to CD-ROM, with over 70% of universities either planning or running local CD-ROM networks. There is some evidence of a modest amount of media substitution from printed information services to electronic, including a decline in online expenditure. The Bath Information and Data Service end user service has had a similar impact on alternative access media. The commercial online host market has eluded the end user market, being the most exclusive reserve of librarian mediators. Questions arising from the study include: how appropriate to the users' needs are the new networked services; what feedback and evaluation procedures are required; what is the nature of the support role of libraries in these changing circumstances; what additional resources; how and by whom are end user services to be financed; and how is wider access to database services impacting on ancillary services such as document delivery? In response, CCIS has formulated a research programme to extend the current quantitative work in the area of evaluating end user needs, activities and preferences in relation to information sources

    Abstract
    As Internet resources have become increasingly available, reference librarians have begun to use the information Internet to provide ready reference services to users. There are many benefits in using the Internet in this fashion but there are also some real costs involved. Use of the Internet is likely to have implications for the nature of ready reference itself. While encouraging greater use of the Internet for ready reference, identifies limitations and discusses reference policy and cost issues

    Abstract
    Explores the differences between information and referral agencies and online community networks from an information policy perspective and uses a framework proposed by Wilkinson (1992) to analyze the positioning of control within the 2 intermediaries under 6 facets: agency ownership and governance, funding, information flow, access, information ownership, and quality control. Existing community networks and information and referral agencies are used as examples to illustrate the arguments

    Abstract
    Suggests that even though the scheduling of staff at the reference desk is an indispensable element in the smotth running of the service, there has been little written on the topic. Focuses on the philosophical issues and human elements involved in such scheduling. Aspects covered include: the institutionalization of scheduling policy and procedures, the relationship between scheduler and schedule, and the management of conflicts which will inevitably occur

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the US information infrastructure, including discussion of federal policy affecting the evolution of the infrastructure. Libraries are then discussed as a means to further utilize the information infrastructure to ensure democratic access to information. Design/methodology/approach - The paper begins with a brief history of the evolution of the US information infrastructure and then turns to discussion of how libraries can maximize their utility within the context of this information society. Findings - The paper identifies the richness of the information infrastructure and the potential for information poverty of Americans if libraries are not careful to focus on the information available through information technology rather than focus on the information technology itself. Research limitations/implications - This paper is based on an historical look at the democratic underpinnings of the US information infrastructure and outlines general trends in US federal information policy that lead to the modern US information society. Practical implications - It is the author's wish that librarians and other information professionals use this work to support their focus on information access, using information technology and the rest of the information infrastructure to provide top information service and access to their users. Originality/value - Democratic rule requires an informed populace. The key to an informed populace is utilizing a nation's information infrastructure to most fully disseminate and gather needed information to and from the citizens of that nation. This case study provides an historical overview of the evolution of one nation's information infrastructure as a means to draw attention to the leading role libraries can take in supporting a democratic society, providing access to information via information technologies.

    Abstract
    Every institution that offers Internet service should have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in place before allowing access to its system in order to protect not only the institution itself, but also its Internet service provider. AUPs are difficult for librarians because they are fraught with intellectual freedom issues. All AUPs, however, regardless of institutional affiliation, should contain these 4 components: mission statement, service provider, clientele, and disclaimer. Discusses the issues which libraries must address in drawing up UAPs, including privacy, anonymity, user education and the consequences of AUP violation. All these issues should be discussed at length and decisions made before Internet access, especially electronic mail opportunities, is offered to staff and patrons

    Abstract
    Outlines the activities involved in developing a community on line information system and the not for profit organisation which was established to run it. The catalyst for the system was Rockford Public Library, Illinois and includes the mission statement, guiding principles, policy statements, standing committees and their goals and objectives during the first year of operation. Funding, staffing, users, and information providers are also discussed. The Sinnissippi Valley Information Network now provides the local community with access to the Internet, a wide range of state information such as property tax records, council minuates and library holdings, as well as WEB pages. The only area of disappointment has been the lack of interest by schools. Sets out 11 suggestions for those considering starting a similar venture

    Abstract
    The challenge of providing library service to multicultural and multilingual populations is a challenge confronting both public and academic libraries throughout the USA. Presents an overview of the ethnic makeup of the state of California and describes the strategies that are being used by the libraries of the University of California to support their diverse populations. Programmes and activities include specialized service units to serve the needs of different segments of the multicultural populations; specialized resources to serve the Asian-American campus populations; the use of an outreach librarian; and a policy of increasing the numbers of professionals from traditionally underrepresented groups among the librarians within the university. All these efforts are aimed at insuring that alle the university's constituents are provided with good library service

    Abstract
    The electronic library and the Internet intensifies the need for information skills in academic research, in 3 categories: judgement; knowledge and operation of resources; and linguistic and logical skills. Outlines strategies for training within the doctoral supervision process. Qualitative data from the Information Access project on current practice among supervisors, suggest that successful training of researchers requires: recognition of the size of the problem; adoption of a different model of library skills training; recognition of the developmental nature of training needs; recognition of the important role research supervisors play alongside librarians; explicit discussion of metacognitive aspects of these skills; formulation of training policy by national and local institutions; training and support for supervisors themselves; and the nees for academics and students to take resposibility for their learning in this area
