## STIP MeetingBerkeley, April 20-21, 2005

- This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy
- by University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract W-7405-Eng-48.
- UCRL-PRES-211526

- The Four “Ps”
- of Information Management
- at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

## The Four Ps of Information Management

- Process
- Protect
- Publish/Disseminate
- Points of Contact (POCs)

## Process – A new system was upgraded after 20 years

- LLNL deploys electronic review and releasesystem in October 2003
- Web-based system is accessed through an employee’s desktop computer 24/7
- Documents are routed as a PDFfor appropriate approvals
- The review process was streamlined from 10 days to three days

## IM Team reduced from 12 to 3 persons 
Cost per review was reduced from $300 to $76 
New graded approach allows flexibility to the directorates 
Tracking numbers are assigned to documents and followed with a UCRL number for approved release

- Cost per review was reduced from $300 to $76
- New graded approach allows flexibility to the directorates
- Tracking numbers are assigned to documents and followed with a UCRL number for approved release

- Process – A new system was upgraded after 20 years *continued*

## Process – Awareness and ease of use reflect increasing statistics

## Protect – System controls and training protect sensitive information

- Thirteen directorates select key personnel to be well trained in the subject being reviewed and released
- System work flow is driven by audience, document type, STI or administrative, and/or Unclassified Controlled Information (UCI)
- UCI awareness is important and there are many resources available to guide authors

## Publish and Disseminate – LLNL has made improvements in this area 

- IM portal contains helpful tools for authors to create their own document templates for publications
- Journal preprints are now being released in new system
- Harvesting project streamlines OSTI announcements
- Increased reviews Lab wide = increase release of STI documents

## Continue awareness of OSTI and DOE Order 241.1 through quarterly meetings with directorate representatives 
Provide OSTI links and search tools for LLNL authored research 
LLNL Library promotes OSTI link on their Web site

- Provide OSTI links and search tools for LLNL authored research
- LLNL Library promotes OSTI link on their Web site

- Publish and Disseminate – LLNL has made improvements in this area *continued*

## Points of Contact (POCs) - Communicate and disseminate information

- Eighteen individuals have been selected to serve as directorate POCs
- POCs meet quarterly to discuss the IM process and review and release issues
- Monthly statistics provided to each directorate and management
- Self-assessment program implemented to better understand our systemic problems

## How do you make STI more visiblewithin the Lab?

- Increased Training = Increased Awareness
- Increased Awareness = Increased Reviews
- Increased Reviews = Increased Releases/Publications
- Increased Releases = Increased STI Research Available

## Build a system and they will come!
