Abstract

InfoLibNews is an information centre for news. In May 1968, InfoLibNews had to adapt the conditions of digital and online environment by taking charge of storing, processing and archiving news and information for easy access by journalists which been extended to the entire nation for its research values. InfoLibNews also functions as an information holding center by maintaining BERNAMA news and processing news clippings published by main stream newspapers which are later stored in BLIS for quick reference check, comparison and analysis. Thus, this article will focus on familiarizing the “Who's Who” module; listing of key personnel selection criteria; the work processes; headings within the profiles; evolution; actions taken to ensure speedy storage and reliable retrieval systems so as to ensure accurate, up-to-date news and information, credibility and quality. Finally, InfoLibNews will share the challenges of processing the module in line with the expectations of its users and clients as BERNAMA is set to be the leading information provider on prominent personalities in Malaysia.
