    ABOUT THE RESOURCE CENTER

    The IRC has evolved from being an information depository to becoming a center for distributed, interactive information. IT has enabled new capabilities for information access, collection and redistribution. Everyone is connected to a network, and the ranks of the content providers are swelling daily as the information industry looks at enormous new market opportunities. At the same time, workgroup and intranet strategies offer possibilities for new ways of accessing and adding value to business information. That's the good news. The bad news is that the information revolution is in its infancy, and the IRC will be exposed to all the fear, uncertainty and chaos that surrounds a revolution as the IRC attempts to construct its future.
