The full name of information management specialty is information management and information system specialty, which belongs to management science. It is formed by the merger of the original science and technology information specialty, informatics specialty and management information system specialty. The main characteristics of information management and information system specialty are compatibility of arts and sciences, wide caliber of talent training and thick foundation. There are three main categories of undergraduate majors classified as management information management and information system in China: one is science and technology information; Second, the informatics major recruited by liberal arts; The third is business administration and finance. Among them, the science and technology information specialty was established for the first time. This major is mainly to meet the needs of scientific and technological development and economic construction, and to cultivate specialized talents for the development of national scientific and technological information work. Informatics major, enrolling students according to liberal arts, mainly trains social science information professionals, and based on library science, reforms and broadens the professional scope of social information work to meet the social demand for literature information management professionals and information service professionals. In addition, business administration, finance and related departments of Chinese universities offer undergraduate majors in information management, mainly to train professionals in information organization, system management, research and consulting for industrial and commercial enterprises, agricultural enterprises and finance. After the merger, information management and information system majors in most colleges and universities have both arts and sciences, and they are enrolled by departments or colleges, and then diverted after their junior year. For example, in 2005, Peking University Information Management Department enrolled students according to System One, while Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management merged this major into the category of business administration and enrolled students according to college. In terms of specialty setting, colleges and universities emphasize the integration and intersection of management, economy, computer and other disciplines. Graduates of this major should not only have the basic knowledge and application ability of modern management and information science and technology, but also systematically master the theory and skills of information management and information system. From the main courses, we can see the characteristics of this major, such as introduction to calculation, introduction to information management, programming language, database system, survey and statistical methods, computer network, digital library, management information system, management principles, information economics, Chinese information processing, microeconomics, information security, network management, e-commerce and so on. It can be seen that the characteristics of this major are many and miscellaneous, including computer courses, management courses and economic courses, many of which are comprehensive. The early 20th century was an important period for China to promote national information industrialization. At present, the intersection and integration of various information services, the commercialization, integration and internationalization of Internet information services, and the progress of global information networks all require a large number of information management talents. Social industries such as economic information service, consultation and intermediary are facing good development opportunities and also provide many jobs. In recent years, the destination of graduates majoring in information management has expanded from science and technology information departments, libraries and document information service departments to various enterprises, economy, finance, consulting and management departments. They can give full play to their advantages in information resource management, information technology application, electronic publishing and digital library, development and utilization of network information resources, and collation and dissemination of national traditional culture. Judging from the current situation of undergraduate employment in colleges and universities, most graduates choose to continue their studies, and only a few choose to go directly to companies, institutions and other units for employment. Students of this major can apply for management science and engineering, computer science, business administration and other related majors when taking the postgraduate entrance examination. Among related majors, the one closest to information management is library science.
