Abstract

This article examines the general direction of information resource management (IRM) and computer technology applications as they influence the workplace. The author briefly explores the environmental characteristics of this new setting, including the influence of the World Wide Web, changes in information network design, and the emergence and widespread use of dynamically created, distributed, and employed information resources. He establishes this frame of reference to assess the implications of these changes for the roles and responsibilities of the archivist, and then considers the skills required on the part of the archivist to service the IRM needs of the highly automated organization and its constituency of so-called "knowledge workers."
