 How do you FUMSI? That's the question we've been asking contributors, readers, and partners, as well as ourselves. FUMSI stands for Find, Use, Manage and Share Information, and captures the different ways information is part of today's professional world. Most of us, whether or not we define ourselves as 'information professionals', hit these four practice areas every day.
Here's the quick guide to FUMSI (more detail at www.freepint.com/fumsi/):
- Find Information: Search and research
- Use Information: Analysis, decision-making and advice
- Manage Information: Storage, organisation and retrieval
- Share Information: Writing, publishing and training
