Organisations of all sizes struggle with the task of understanding, cataloguing, managing and maximising the value of their information resources. An information audit provides a protocol for studying information resources - where they come from, what they cost and how workers interact with them - so that more effective information strategies can be designed and implemented.

In the latest FUMSI report, 'Information Auditing Report and Tool Kit, 2nd edition,' author Sue Henczel breaks down the information audit into clear steps, outlining questions to ask and challenges to overcome at every stage of a project.

Henczel, who has published internationally on the topic of information auditing and is an SLA Fellow in recognition of her contributions to the information field, uses the report's 5 chapters to explain different approaches to information auditing, methodology and tool design, how to build buy-in for a project, reporting and planning for subsequent audits. The included tool kit offers 7 hands-on activities with which users can create their own information auditing plans, tools and reports.

Henczel's report is the second edition of this report, based on work by Steve Wood published by Free Pint Limited in 2004. The updated edition now includes the tool kit, significantly expanded text, plus additional and updated web-based resources.

Together, the report and tool kit offer a flexible framework that can easily scale up or down to just about any kind of information auditing project. The report covers the following:

  • Preparing and planning
  • Developing tools
  • Analysis, evaluation and recommendations
  • Reporting and beyond
  • Overcoming the challenges

The following activities are included in the Information Auditing Report and Tool Kit:

  1. Know your Organisation
  2. Defining Objectives, Envisioning Outcomes
  3. Defining the Scope of the Audit
  4. The Insource-Outsource Dilemma
  5. Developing a Business Case for an Information Audit
  6. Designing your Questionnaire
  7. Formulating Recommendation
