Same thing? I always thought that the term "information object" was as imperfect as the ones it was intended to replace. It implied that what our patrons and users wanted from library resources was "information". An experience -- say reading a novel, to name the most commonplace example -- could be so much more than the "information" contained in the object. (Or less, depending on your point of view.)
