Information Audit is counting and analysis of Information Resources of an organization for how they are useful and critical in achieving the organizational objective.

Dear friends,

There are so many terms which are clustered with Library and Information Science without having any scope with the subject and its activities. Information audit one of them. It is something like the repackaging of older concepts. That distracts to library professionals, especially to students and NET aspirants. The replied of Mr. Sunil K Upenja and his definition is showing the picture of system analysis and evaluation. 

Now the question comes the question comes, 'audit of what?' the answer may be of the product, the product is Information. How one can audit the information? Someone may add that the impact of Information on the life of a particular. It is true but what is the size? There are lots of questions and Information science has no concrete answer. 

Let us wait for the more replies.

Thank you.
