INFORMATION RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

LECTURER: SAMUEL ODOYO N.; PHD CAND

WELCOME NOTE

Dear Student,

Welcome to to the Information Resource Management (IRM) course BIT2426.  IRM is a broad term in IT that refers to the management of records or information or data sets as a resource. This can relate to either business or government goals and objectives. Information resource management involves identifying data as an asset, categorizing it and providing various types of active management. Experts describe IRM as the process of managing the life cycle of data sets, from their creation to their use in IT architectures, and on to archiving and eventual destruction of non-permanent data. The term IRM can refer to either software resources, physical supplies and materials, or personnel involved in managing information at any stage of use. 

The focus of this course shall be in three main areas of IRM, namely:

1) identification of information sources,
(2) type and value of information they provide, and
(3) ways of classification, valuation, processing, and storage of that information.

The  program shall be conducted in Blended Model that entails both Face-to-Face and eLearning mode. Throughout the course, the students shall receive their eNotes as well as undertake weekly graded assignments,  and a continuous assessment test (CAT) in week seven. Then finally, the end of semester exam after week 14. The lecturer  shall provide the students with the course eResources link, and any suitable reference guide to facilitate your learning.

An operating system is a program that manages the computer hardware. It also provides a basis for application programs and acts as an intermediary between the computer user and the computer hardware. An amazing aspect of operating systems is how varied they are in accomplishing these tasks. Mainframe operating systems are designed primarily to optimize utilization of hardware. Personal computer (PC) operating systems support complex games, business applications, and everything in between. Operating systems for handheld computers are designed to provide an environment in which a user can easily interface with the computer to execute programs. Thus, some operating systems are designed to be convenient, others to be efficient, and others some combination of the two.
