Findings: In Hong Kong, information policy exists at the marco or national level, but at the school level it would appear that information policy development is a topic more talked about than understood.
Abstract: A project to develop a research instrument to study information policy in schools was conducted and part of that study, a literature review and a Hong Kong based study was completed to benchmark information policy practice in schools in Hong Kong. The authors found that information policy at a macro level was addressed well in the literature as governments address a quagmire of intellectual property, intellectual freedom, security, privacy and administrative issues. Information policy at the micro level in schools, was lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the micro-level set of information policies is handled in schools. An online questionnaire administered to in-service teachers in Hong Kong provided findings that reinforced the authors' initial hunch that information policy is a topic more talked about than understood.
