"It may be personal information management or organizational."
"IM for organizations concerns a cycle of organizational activity: the acquisition of information from one or more sources, the custodianship and the distribution of that information to those who need it, and its ultimate disposal through archiving or deletion."
"This cycle of information organisation involves a variety of stakeholders, including those who are responsible for assuring the quality, accessibility and utility of acquired information; those who are responsible for its safe storage and disposal; and those who need it for decision making."
"Stakeholders might have rights to originate, change, distribute or delete information according to organisational information management policies."
"Information management embraces all the generic concepts of management, including the planning, organizing, structuring, processing, controlling, evaluation and reporting of information activities."
"All of which is needed in order to meet the needs of those with organizational roles or functions that depend on information."
