Informed is an online space for information professionals, and those with an interest on how information issues impact on society. The establishment of this blog is the result of discussions between Ian Clark, Elly O’Brien and Jennie Findlay, centering on the perceived need for a neutral online space for information professionals to explore issues of relevance to both the information sector, and to those outside of it. To this end, this space has been created in the hope that discussions of relevant issues can be hosted and explored.
