Features: Information resource post-development and management involve many issues, making it a rich and extensive field. The content covered in this book has been offered as independent courses in the Information Management and Information Systems (IMIS) programs of some universities. Considering the varying backgrounds of IMIS programs currently offered in China, most institutions have not yet established them as separate courses. Therefore, this book selects representative content from these areas to provide a systematic introduction. The book follows the logical process of information resource development and management, analyzing the background and conditions for information to become a resource, introducing the types and characteristics of information resources, and discussing the historical evolution, goals, tasks, and content of information resource management. Based on an analysis of the characteristics and patterns of information resource distribution, it covers theoretical methods for information resource acquisition, retrieval, organization, development, utilization, optimized allocation, sharing, and property rights, as well as the development and management of network information resources. It provides an in-depth exploration of the information resource management, development, and utilization of two representative organizations—governments and enterprises. Finally, it introduces information policies and regulations, as well as performance evaluation in information resource development and management. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in universities and colleges majoring in Information Management and Information Systems or related fields, as well as a reference book and training material for information workers in enterprises and institutions.
