Information Management Professional Education Professional Identity Professionalism Online Surveys Library Science Information Science Education Educational Background Employment Level Career Choice Academic Degrees Educational Attainment Certification Knowledge Level Records and information management (RIM) professionals ensure that information flows seamlessly through organizations, thereby increasing worker productivity and facilitating the growth of the business. Yet, these professionals are often overlooked or confused with IT, archivists, secretaries, or mailroom workers. This article contends that the lack of awareness about this profession stems from the absence of a formalized educational pathway for people to become RIM professionals. Drawing on data from a comprehensive online survey, this article argues that RIM education is best suited as an independent discipline within library and information science programs. |
