Informatics

What is that?

 

"Informatics encourages and facilitates the process of collecting, cultivating, and organizing information digitally so that it can be better utilized by the community, businesses, organizations, and individuals.  Informatics aims at improving the human experience by bridging the digital divide to bring people, information, and technology together so that technology can be put to work for solving complex problems facing humanity today."
(Informatics definition from Indiana University Southeast Website)

 

Gathering and gaining new information is a major part of what an Informatician does.  An Informatician also organizes and presents information in a way that can be easily searchable.

 

They also can be the middleman between the users and the programmers.  A person with knowledge in Informatics knows the technical side to be able to communicate with computer programmers and still be able to keep the user in mind making sure that their needs are being met.
