Management Case Study

Discipline formation in information management is investigated through a case study of the origination and development of information services for scientific and technical information in Australia. Particular reference is made to a case of AESIS, a national geoscience, minerals and petroleum reference database coordinated by the Australian Mineral Foundation. This study provided a model for consideration of similar services and their contribution to the discipline. The perspective adopted is to consider information management at operational, analytical and strategic levels. Political and financial influences are considered along with analysis of scope, performance and quality control. Factors that influenced the creation, transitions, and abeyance of the service are examined, and some conclusions are drawn about an information management discipline being exemplified by such services.

National Resource

The Scottish Science Library (SSL), part of the National Library of Scotland (NLS), was opened in 1989. The NLS, the largest library in Scotland, is one of the legal deposit libraries in the UK and had a large scientific collection that was underused. Together with the foreign periodicals collection of the Royal Society of Edinburgh this formed the basis for a new service. Housed in a new building, the SSL provides scientific and technical information services to Scottish industry as well as to academics and the general public. It also incorporates the Scottish Business Information Service.
