Integrated Academic Information Management Systems (IAIMS). Part II. Planning and implementing integrated information services. IAIMS infrastructure: technological base.
The IAIMS concept calls for the logical integration of information derived from databases in the functional areas of administration, clinical care, education, libraries, and research. To accomplish this task a technological base must be established. It is suggested that such an infrastructure will consist of a systems component, the linked databases component, and a management component. An IAIMS should rapidly evolve into an information utility and, within a decade, provide a knowledge management system.
