	NewsScan Exec - Spring 1998 - The Next Generation Information Manager (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The School's mission is to train a new generation of professional information managers who can locate, organize, manipulate and present information.
		Many of the skills necessary to be an effective information manager are skills that have been a traditional part of the library school curriculum.
		What we call "information managers'' others have called "knowledge engineers,'' "cybrarians,'' "chief information officers,'' "database specialist,'' "information analysts,'' etc. We have tried to design a curriculum that will provide a common base of understanding about the tools and techniques necessary to work in any and all of these areas.

	10.18.00 - UC Berkeley professors measure exploding world production of new information
		Berkeley - Two University of California, Berkeley, professors have just finished analyzing all new data produced worldwide last year - on the Internet, in scholarly journals, even in junk mail - and report not just staggering totals, but a "revolution" in information production and accessibility.
		"The difficulty will be in managing this information effectively: making sure that your suppliers, your employees, and your customers not only have access to the data they need to make informed decisions, but also can locate, manipulate and understand it," the report said.
		"Information management - at the individual, organizational, and even societal level - may turn out to be one of the key challenges we face," the report said.

	There is a lot of data out there . . .
		The folks at UC Berkeley’s School of Information Management and Systems released a groundbreaking study about the amount of data created in 2002 that reached some pretty startling conclusions.
		So, we created information equivalent in size to that contained in half a million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress.
		Information flowing through electronic channels contained almost 18 exabytes of new information in 2002--three and a half times that recorded in digital media.

		Radio and TV broadcast content added a negligible amount of new information, as most information disseminated through those media is recycled, according to the report.
