What are the characteristics of ancient information management activities?

In the ancient information management period, information management was mainly based on paper manuscripts and printed copies, and the number was limited. The official houses, private houses and temple bookstores of past dynasties are all places where ancient people used to preserve literature records. However, this kind of information management focuses on "hiding", which advocates that the collection of books is confidential to people and belongs to private property, and even it is difficult for family members to see the collection of books. On the one hand, it is conducive to the preservation of documents and makes them spread to this day, but on the other hand, it also violates the purpose of "transmission" and "utilization" of information management. This shows that ancient information management activities did not form a social scale; The number of social information resources is limited, mainly paper manuscripts and printed copies; The way of information storage is closed and private; The hands and methods of information management are mainly manual, creating a unique method suitable for information resources at that time, and combining this method with academic research and its methods. The owner or citation of literature resources is the subject of information management, completing information management activities, executing management activities and executing information management behaviors.

Although the ideas and methods of information management in modern information management activities are constantly improving, information management is still interpreted as "information management", which is a simple verb. Information management emphasizes the technical means and methods of managing information, but it has not risen to the strategic level, and its connotation is still relatively thin. At this stage, a series of technical means created by specialized information management professionals are the main methods of information management, taking literature information as the center and library as the main place. At the same time, the process of information fear, processing, preservation and utilization is also explained.

Modern information management concept and technical level and means of information management are essentially different from ancient and modern times. Information technology plays an important role in the development of information management activities, leading the development of information management in various periods. With the change of information technology, the types of information resources are constantly diversified. In addition to the elimination of literature information, the emergence of new media such as micro, electronics and network, such as streaming media, has aroused great interest and concern. Management means make full use of information technology, on the one hand, it improves the information management methods formed in the last two periods, on the other hand, it combines new information forms, information carriers and information types to develop new management technical means, such as database, data warehouse, online analysis, business intelligence and so on. To sum up, modern information management has greatly surpassed the understanding framework of ancient and modern information management, and the understanding of technology has changed; The connotation and extension of information management have been expanded, and the information resources it faces have gone far beyond the scope of traditional literature information resources and extended to many new types of information. The information resources of the whole society are growing geometrically, and different closed doors and fields have to face the challenge of information management. Information management technology makes full use of the advantages of modern information technology, breaks through the scope of traditional information management technology to process documents, and adopts a large number of advanced technical means and methods such as network, database, data warehouse and online analysis technology. However, information managers have long recalled that injustice is the task of traditional document information processing, which is more technical, professional and specialized. They are called CIO or CKO in the organization and have become a class in social organizations.
