Discipline formation in information management is investigated through a case study of the origination and development of information services for scientific and technical information in Australia. Particular reference is made to a case of AESIS, a national geoscience, minerals and petroleum reference database coordinated by the Australian Mineral Foundation. This study provided a model for consideration of similar services and their contribution to the discipline. The perspective adopted is to consider information management at operational, analytical and strategic levels. Political and financial influences are considered along with analysis of scope, performance and quality control. Factors that influenced the creation, transitions, and abeyance of the service are examined, and some conclusions are drawn about an information management discipline being exemplified by such services.

This paper considers the provision of information services within the health service in terms of the various types of information district generated by health services in turn the information required by their managers. It also considers the recent growth in interest in health services information. The development of information services in Cambridge Health Authority is set within this context and reference is made to a recent project designed to devise a strategic plan for the development of information and information technology in Cambridge Health Authonty, which, it is hoped, will provide the district with a firm foundation for information services and information management over the next five years.
