Abstract

Describes some findings of research conducted into activities related to the process of deciding subjects of documents which sought to identify the goals and intentions of indexers in determining subjects; specific strategies and prescriptions indexers actually use to determine subjects; and some of the variables which impact on the process of determining subjects

Abstract

Posits B. Brookes' Fundamental Equation on Information Science as an expression of cognitive information utilization and presents the exploration of this equation as one of the greatest challenges for the information science discipline, particularly in the context of information seeking behaviour and information utilization. Explores some of the conceptual issues related to the understanding of cognitive information utilization in the framework of Brookes' equation and presents a review of one approach based on a quasi experimental study involving 4 gilrs in their final year of high school at a Catholic college in Sydney, New South Wales, and their interaction with information about the drug heroin

Abstract

A major professional concern for people undertaking knowledge management initiatives is interpreting the field for managers and others in their organization. This exploratory research sought to investigate the dynamics of knowledge in organizations: how (if at all) it was perceived, interpreted, utilized, and integrated into the functions, processes, and outputs of the organization. Three organizations with differing functions and outputs were studied: a law firm, an educational institution, and a suburban local council, each being between 100 and 200 employees in size. Semistructured Interviews (both individual and Small group) were carried out with people at all levels to gather perceptions of the dynamics of knowledge in that organization. It was found that knowledge structures and cultures differed substantially between organizations, and were heavily influenced by the commercial environment and the governing structures. People at all levels had substantial awareness of the nature of knowledge within the organization, and there were a significant number of initiatives targeted at improving the way that knowledge was used. The concept of knowledge itself was quite unproblematic, although it was considerably more complex and nuanced than most definitions allow for. Information services had an important, although not a central role in knowledge dynamics. These findings raise a number of questions about the suitability of much knowledge management theory.

Abstract

While the literature identifies some broad approaches to subject analysis there is little supporting empirical evidence and few attempts to explicate any specifiable procedures. A productive step forward with indexing research would be to begin by examining how indexers actually undertake the process of subject analysis and to explore systematically factors that guide and influence this process. This would shed some light on a theory of subject analysis, clarify some of the central concepts of indexing, and provide an intelligent knowledge-base for effective, academic indexing practice

Abstract

This article reports on a study that investigates how older adolescents cognitively utilize information on the drug, heroin. With a small group of 4 gilrs in their final year of secondary education, the stufy sought to: (a) establish the perceived effects of exposures to information; (b) establish how the perceived effects are associated with changes to the girls' knowledge structures; and (c) establish any patterns in relation to changes in knowledge structures and perceived effects. The study employed a quasi-experimental, repeated-phase approach. The girls' existing knowledge structures about the drug, heroin, were elicited and mapped, as were knowledge structures after each of 3 exposures to different information on heroin. The knowledge structures after each exposure were shown to change by cognitive strategies of appending, inserting, and deleting. 5 types of effects, as types of cognitive information utilization, were identified, these being: Get a complete picture, get a changed picture, get a clearer picture, get a verified picture, and get a position in a picture. The study also showed that there was coherence between the effects and how these effects were manifested in changes to the girls' knowledge structures. This article also discusses important implications for information practice and instructional design

Abstract

Contends that it is important that students learn to be users of the WWW and not simply surfers. Sets out a series of learning activities that might be adapted by teacher librarians to suit the particular curriculum context or grade in order to assist students in developing their critical and evaluative skills in raltion to making effective choices about search engines
