With Whom Do You Share Information?

Whether you are looking for ideas on how to improve your program or whether you are sending funding proposals to potential donors, every organization has specific places and people, or certain types of places and people, with whom they regularly share information. To develop a comprehensive information use analysis, it is helpful to think consciously about the organizations and people with whom you share information.

These are the important questions to answer:

To whom do you give information?
From whom do you receive information?
Exercise 2: Sharing Information

Fill out the following Information Sharing worksheets—Giving Information and Receiving Information—for your organization. It is important to include the general type of organization with whom you share information (e.g., libraries or public agencies). If you have time, also list the specific places that fall into those categories (e.g., under "libraries," you might list the names of the libraries you regularly access, or under "other organizations," you might list specific groups or coalitions with whom you work regularly).

The next two pages show how the HEALTHLINK 2000 staff used the worksheets to determine how they give and get information. Blank worksheets are found in appendix 4, Information Sharing: Giving Information and appendix 5, Information Sharing: Receiving Information.
