The School of Information and Library Science (SILS) and School of Government (SOG) at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
(UNC-CH) will hold a day-long symposium called “Government Bits:
Stewardship of Public Information in a Changing Digital Landscape” on March 16, 2012 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Room 2601 of the Knapp-Sanders Building on the UNC-CH campus. The symposium will include panel discussions and other interactive sessions related to lessons and strategies for professionals to engage in public information stewardship.
Themes of the day will include challenges in the stewardship of electronic records; current solutions for digital records environments; moving from a paper-based environment to a digital environment; information stewardship strategies for public administrators; and building information systems for information stewardship.
Public officials and public servants must increasingly make and enact decisions related to information systems; this requires an understanding of the ways in which people, information and technology can best complement each other. At the same time, information professionals are increasingly required to engage in policy discussions and processes, in order to carry out their duties responsibly and effectively; this requires an understanding of the history, principles, processes and methods of public administration.
