Managing Information 2008 – extra pages, electronic access, more content, greater value!

Information Managers, Knowledge Managers, Chief Information Officers and librarians need to keep up-to-date and have a good in-depth knowledge of issues relating to information management. We at Aslib understand those issues better than most and can help you keep abreast of latest developments and their implications. Managing Information continues its successful track record of bringing you practical solutions, best practice, news, analysis, campaigning and lobbying activities.

These are exciting and dynamic times in information management with Web/Library 2.0, information literacy, the need to leverage intellectual property assets, regulatory compliance requirements all leading to an ever greater need for leadership in information and knowledge management. Managing Information helps readers deliver that leadership.

Subscribers gain all the benefits of the melting pot of ideas you get from attending a first class conference, without the expense and travel involved in attending! In 2008 Managing Information will be bringing readers more in-depth content and a special subscriber-only web site providing immediate access to reference material, opinions and previous issues of the magazine.
