New Names, New Meeting Places, for the Office Automation Professional
Article Abstract:
Several professional associations formerly using such terms as 'Word Processing' and 'Micrographics' in their titles, are replacing the terms with the word 'Information'. This indicates a growing awareness that these specific fields are part of the increasing integration of automated systems. Other indications of this cohesiveness are the scheduled openings of Boscom information systems market and the push for technical standards in the office automation industry.

Corporate gatekeeping needs more definition, but the job might be likened to the highly judgmental process in which journalists engage.
