Federal Information Resources Management: Bridging Vision and Action. 1987;Academy Studies, Washington, DC, Another indicator of the Federal preoccupation with information technology management arose from the experience of the Office of Management and Budget in preparing OMB Circular No. A-130. Sections of the circular dealing with information management received comments primarily from the general public, especially the library and academic communities. Sections of the circular dealing with information technology management received comments almost exclusively from Federal agencies. By and large. Federal agency personnel were not interested in questions of information management, only in questions of information technology management. [Source: authors' personal experience as employees of the Office of Management and Budget.] Much the same point is made by Caudle.
