Abstract

This chapter focuses on opportunities to implement an information governance framework within an academic library. Due to their mission and breadth of information management activities, academic libraries face numerous challenges in organizing and preserving information and records, and governing data. Implementing information governance strategies, specifically in the areas of records and information management, metadata creation, institutional repositories, digital preservation, and data management will result in well-informed and collaborative policies which protect the library as well as the institution. Developing this skill set within the library requires a culture shift towards transparency, collaboration, and accountability. Additionally, library and information science curricula should reflect the current demands of the academic library landscape and expand course offerings to build information governance competencies.
