Information literacy is knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner

CILIP definition

Information Automation Limited is a consultancy, research and training company, founded in 1987 and specialising in the areas of information creation, use and management. Most - but not all - of our work revolves around the library and information industry and we have worked for the BBC, the British Library, the British Council, the World Bank and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the Higher and Further Educations Funding Councils as well as a number of private companies.

You can learn about the company and its Centre for Information Quality Management from the first two menus (above), and about some of our recent projects and speaking engagements from the Activities menu. The Courses menu will give an indication of our education and training work, while the right-hand menus offer access to some resources and publications.

The company was founded, and is run, by Chris Armstrong, whose particular interests centre on the quality of electronic information. Work undertaken by IAL is carried out by a small team of information professionals whose primary objective is to produce high-quality work to schedule.
