Information influences policies, services,consultation processes, decisions, procedures and developments and mustmeet the needs of the general public, the users of services, boardmembers, partner organisations, government departments and boardofficers. The availability of such information is dependent on publications,documents, records and ephemeral communications that are clearlyexpressed and presented and efficiently organised, and on robust, integratedand up-to-date information and communications systems that make themaccessible in the most suitable format for the user.In 1999, the board produced an Information Systems Strategy to steer thedevelopment of provision in this area with the following aim:“To enable the board to provide education and library services extendingbeyond traditional boundaries through the maximum use of informationtechnology and in an open system environment which will allow the board tobe flexible in meeting future changes”three3
