Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the application of post-structuralist theory to understanding hypertext and the World Wide Web, and the challenge posed by digital information technology to the practices of the information profession. Design/methodology/approach - The method adopted is that of a critical study. Findings - The paper argues for the importance of post-structuralism for an understanding of the implications of digital information for the information management profession. Originality/value - Focuses on an epistemological gap between the traditional practices of the information profession, and the structure of the World Wide Web.

Key Features e Jargon-free and aimed at information professionals with sole/mixed responsibilities - Draws many examples from broader library management contexts - Clearly distinguishes between intranet and Internet technologies Readership Information professionals with primary/ secondary responsibility for Intranets or Intranet sites within an organisation. Library managers and directors. Contents Introduction Why users behave irrationally - user expectations; the information skills deficit (and surplus); pattern recognition and false superstitions (how the brain builds relationships between ideas; hypertext; weIl-worn paths and habitual information seeking behaviour; how intranets stifle users); expectations of failure Why organisations behave irrationally - competing perspectives; organisational expectations; organisational structure and information ownership; the information wasteland; why Intranets are not IT applications Reconciling competing expectations - defining expectations; setting realistic targets; placing Intranets within broader information strategies Elements of Intranet architecture - aspects of Intranet architecture; designing success Implementing and managing Intranets-implementing Intranets; designing success Anticipating change - information systems convergence
