Abstract

This paper describes an assessment of the information management practices at International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region and the development and implementation of an information management pilot for that organization. The pilot included the development of a taxonomy to classify the organization’s documents, training in basic citation practices, and a decentralized model for building an organized library of documents within the citation management software Mendeley. The authors discuss the pilot’s taxonomy within the context of literature on taxonomy development and offers strategic recommendations for improving the information management practices of not-for-profit organizations that lack dedicated information management staff.
