The organization and retrievability of information in a variety of formats has been a preoccupation -- and a profession -- since time immemorial. For centuries, archives and libraries served this purpose. The late twentieth century witnessed a translation of information to digital formats. By the early twenty-first century, information management was addressing itself to a global information environment stored digitally and transferred at electronic speed. Drawing upon her academic preparation and long career in library, archival, and information management, Catherine Quinlan, holder of the Valerie and Ronald Sugar Dean’s Chair of the USC Libraries will guide students in a discussion of the universality of information culture in our contemporary world and the polymathic skills involved in information management.
