Abstract:
Electronic Information is the logical extension of the development in technology and the
positive response to the growing need of the users for easy access of information and rights
holders can gain better access to large amounts of rights data, and today most use that
electronic tool. In order to manage the electronic information some effective tools like,
Electronic Information Management (EIM), must be incorporated. In the simplest definition,
EIM means using office technology systematically to help you store, retrieve, and safeguard
your organization’s information. Most people think immediately of reducing paper, but as
we rely more and more on technology to create digital information - software files, digital
photographs, and Email, EIM takes on a broader scope. With current technology it’s possible
to manage a complete “library” of information with centralized security, backups and control,
different levels of retrieval and access, and archival storage. Digital Right Management
offers a better way to manage the records you rely on. Whether documents are stored in an
original electronic file format or scanned from paper, managing their storage, access and
retention becomes easier with technology.
