Information Management Initiatives

The Information Management Strategy was published in 2005. The strategy recommends new activities and confirms the need for existing activities and projects. The introduction of the strategy has also been a catalyst for other information management initiatives.

These are the known information management initiatives undertaken by Monash University and its entities. (If you know something that should be added to this list, please contact us.)
