Information Management (IM) Capacity Check Tool
The IM Capacity Check Tool (formerly known as the IM Maturity Model Tool) is a self-assessment tool intended as a diagnostic tool for senior management of an organization. An assessment using the IM Capacity Check can help institutions assess the state of IM practices within each entity against a common standard, bring together all the elements of information management practices, compare against best practices, and provide information to enable management to develop plans for improvements to their own IM practices.

Best Practices for Digital Archiving: An Information Life Cycle Approach
Gail M. Hodge. D-Lib Magazine. January 2000.
The rapid growth in the creation and dissemination of digital objects by authors, publishers, corporations, governments, librarians, archivists and museum curators has emphasized the speed and ease of short-term dissemination with little regard for the long-term preservation of digital information. This report suggests that while there are traditions of stewardship and best practices that have become institutionalized in the print environment, many of these traditions are inadequate, inappropriate or not well known among the stakeholders in the digital environment. There is a need to identify new best practices that satisfy the requirements and are practical for the various stakeholder groups involved.
