ABSTRACT
As a preliminary statement, I would like to say that I am an information scientist in a global drug company. My considerations may reflect the specific organization and practices of the company. Global pharmaceutical companies, however, are at the forefront in the adoption and use of advanced technology for the search, management, and distribution of information. The experience gained in an information management center of a global pharmaceutical company has an undeniable knowledge value and illuminates the typical features of today’s information management.
