Guidelines

Information Management (IM) Basics

With the introduction of the Policy on Information Management (2007), the Directive on Information Management Roles and Responsibilities (2007) and the Directive on Recordkeeping (2009) as published by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, these guidelines have been designed to help all Government of Canada employees understand their roles and responsibilities in managing information resources effectively.

The information has been organized into three sections that provide you with the following:

• information on basic information management (IM) and recordkeeping (RK) practices;
• more detailed information on IM concepts; and
• directions to further help and advice.
