Who knows what you think is the most important thing to do in the field of information management in China today? How should we meet the challenges of the information age?

"Man" is the subject and main factor to control information resources and coordinate information activities. The process of information collection, storage, transmission, processing and utilization is inseparable from the support of information technology.

The requirement or purpose of information management is to control the flow of information and realize the utility and value of information. The purpose of information management is to form available information resources. The formation stage of information resources is characterized by activities such as information generation, recording, collection, transmission, storage and processing. * * * Process of information management: The process of information management includes information collection, information transmission, information processing and information storage.

Information collection is the acquisition of original information. Information transmission is the transmission of information in time and space, because information can only play a role if it is sent to the people in need in time and accurately.

Information processing includes the conversion of information form and the processing of information content. The form transformation of information refers to the accurate transmission of information to the recipient by changing the carrier in the process of information transmission

The content processing of information refers to the processing and arrangement of original information and the in-depth disclosure of information content. After the information content is processed, the input information can be turned into needed information and used effectively in time.

When the information is sent to users, some of it is useless when it is not used, and some of it needs to be kept for reference and retention after work. This is information storage. Through the storage of information, we can reveal regular things from it, and we can also use it repeatedly. * * * What do you think China society should do most in the field of information management? Cultivating senior information management talents is the most important thing that China society should do in the field of information management. The early 20th century is an important period for China to promote the 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. * * * How should we meet the challenges of the information age? At present, it is difficult to have a consistent definition of the information age. On the technical level, its main features are the rise of digital electronic media, the popularity of computers and the Internet, and the vigorous development and application of various file processing technologies. Driven by these new technologies and related policies, society is facing unprecedented major changes. Let's call this brand-new era the information age.

Information science has become a comprehensive subject with knowledge as the main axis. Information technology is changing the relationship between disciplines, the trend of separation and integration has been obvious, and the formation of new disciplines has also been obvious. It is worth noting that information technology not only plays a powerful tool role in various academic fields, but also puts forward new views on problems in each field, providing a new angle for problem explanation and a new method for solving problems, and then establishing a new model and theory for understanding problems.

Information technology has changed the thoughts, concepts and subject connotations of scholars in various disciplines. Academic thought is the most profound and important ideological leader and enlightener. The profound and far-reaching influence of information technology on academic thought can show that the far-reaching influence of information technology on humanistic society is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

We should think deeply about the relationship between humanities and science and technology. Undeniably, the current development of information technology has brought about some problems such as self-isolation in information (knowledge), the decline of human nature and the gap between the rich and the poor. Freud once said that once we put science and technology on our bodies, we immediately become artificial gods. The emergence of the Internet has made some visitors go beyond time and space, become worse, and relieved all legal and moral responsibilities. Sometimes pornographic websites and internet events become particularly fascinating. At this time, we should remember the warning of media scientist McLuhan: the loss of personal identity and urban violence are the consequences of the immoral state of the media.

At the same time, the emergence of a large number of digital documents will cause readers the burden of selecting or filtering reports. Perhaps under this pressure, some reading societies with special interests will be formed to help readers screen and collect information. This trend may further form some new cultural circles that are not restricted by regions, borders, races and communities, thus leading to the emergence of virtual communities.

Whether you like it or not, we have embarked on the road of no return in the information age. The rapid social changes brought by this era have affected our life, work and leisure. To this end, we should have the following general rules to deal with changes.

Establish new ideas: be psychologically prepared and establish the concept of "change", which is the source of developing new ideas and creativity.

Enhance the ability of information communication and application: Facing the network environment and adapting to all kinds of communication situations in the information age, we need all kinds of exquisite communication skills. Lack of communication skills will not be able to maintain the basic dignity of life. Communication ability includes the ability to acquire, understand, analyze, explain and express all kinds of information and ideas.

Strengthen undergraduate knowledge and technical level: The future society will be a knowledge-led society, and the strengthening of undergraduate knowledge and skills will help to use the information facilities in the new era to do what you want. If you focus too much on information technology and ignore the knowledge and skills of the industry itself, it is really a waste of time.

Cultivation of information ethics: it is extremely important to use information behavior correctly, and more attention should be paid to behavior, cases, norms and moral issues related to law. Concepts related to ethics, such as information sharing and cooperation, deserve our rethinking in order to establish new values and culture.

Make good use of information technology: we should cultivate the level of humanistic care and quality of life, develop the concept of cooperation, complementarity and complementarity with others, and respect the expertise of different industries and fields; It is necessary to cultivate the attitude of pursuing Excellence and maintaining characteristics, and know that improving quality, accumulating knowledge and striving for perfection are the necessary means for future survival; We should actively understand the interactive relationship among information technology, humanities and society, cultivate the concept of attaching importance to and respecting data, information and knowledge, and respect the property rights of information.

Understand the disorder phenomenon in the transition period: in the transition period, the quality of information is different, so we must be able to distinguish it. Improper use of information is inevitable, and paying attention to these disorderly phenomena should reduce its harm. The analysis and criticism of disorder will contribute to the establishment of order in the new information age.
