IGI is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and publishes innovative encyclopedias, books, journals, and teaching cases. It keeps its titles current and relevant because of its access to some of the leading experts in the fields of information science, technology, and management. The company publishes under five imprints - IGI Publishing, IRM Press, Information Science Publishing, CyberTech Publishing, and Information Science Reference - and produces high-quality research and professional publications. Each IGI publication is aimed at aiding information science and technology professionals in keeping up with emerging innovations, technologies, and managerial techniques. This allows them to achieve greater strategic utilization and management of technology in their organizations.
In 2002, IGI launched the full-text database InfoSci-Online to bring all of its publications to one online location where researchers can search and view the latest information science and technology research. The database is updated monthly, and gives access to every IGI book, journal, conference proceeding, and teaching case.
IGI is also a proud sponsor and organizer of the Information Resources Management Association (IRMA) International Conferences, which brings together some of the greatest minds in information science, technology, and management, and fosters novel research in the field. The research from the IRMA International Conference is gathered in IGI's conference proceedings in both print and CD-ROM forms.
IGI Global releases hundreds of innovative new book titles each year, and as of 2005, that number includes comprehensive encyclopedias through its Information Science Reference imprint.
