Abstract

This article describes the education system for librarians and information professionals in Poland and includes a discussion of change agents. The international bibliographic standardization has brought considerable change to this education. Another change factor has been Poland's openess to broader international connections as a result of the country's political and social transformation beginning in 1989. Technological development (computer system applications in libraries and references services) is a third key factor for change in Polish library education. Additionally, the article includes a survey of recent events and the most important institutions. The quality of teaching is examined and suggestions made for future changes.

Abstract

Online searching was once the province of professional search intermediaries who had received formal training in information retrieval (IR). Today's searchers no longer fit a standard profile, ranging from school-age children to retirees, the majority of whom have received no training in search. While entering a simple query to a commercial Web search engine may not require any specialized skills, a basic understanding of the search process and successful search techniques and strategies, particularly for nontrivial queries, can result in more productive searches and a more enjoyable search experience. Despite recognition of the growing need for search training that supports the cognitive processes and learning styles of individual searchers, there has been relatively little response from the academic community to date. In this chapter, we review the existing literature on search training. We also propose the development of a search training framework based on models of the search process, research on search errors, and models, methods and approaches gathered from research on training and learning within other, related disciplines.

Abstract

Discusses the course content and instructional sequence for teaching knowledge organization in universities as an interdisciplinary subject. Covers the interdisciplinary background and vocabulary; the representation-retrieval chain; and practice of information retrieval from a semantic-cognitve point of view. This should be followed by classification, indexing and abstracting. When enough practical experience has been acquired, students should be taught the creation, adaptation and maintenance of documentary languages. Finally, students should be introduced to automatic representation and organization of knowledge

Abstract

An understanding of the workings of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) is one of the most valuable conceptual tools a researcher can have. The subject heading system is by no means obvious or self-evident, however; it must be taught, explained, and exemplified by librarians. Several points must be covered explicitly. The cross-reference notation of UF, BT, RT, SA, and NT has to be explained; the importance of choosing the most specific heading available, rather than a general term, must also be emphasized. There are four ways to find the most specific LCSH terms for a particular topic; two of them come from using the red books, two from using the online catalog itself. All four ways are important; none is obvious. Each must be taught

Abstract

Since Library Science Education started in Nigeria about half a century ago, cataloguing has been regarded as a core subject in the curriculum. With the diversification of subjects, some core subjects were made electives. This did not affect cataloguing. Nigerian Libraries have not gone far in electronic data processing in their storage of data and information and as a result, libraries are still manual-oriented. Even though some libraries in Cross River State of Nigeria have taken their first steps towards automation, the library schools still find it necessary to continue to drill students in traditional cataloguing. The question of the relevance of cataloguing in an automated library system arises and this researcher investigates the hypothesis that cataloguing is still relevant in the library school curriculum using the descriptive survey methodology. The finding is that the manual system will continue to be used for a long time and so cataloguing will continue to be relevant even with the computer-produced catalogue.

Abstract

In the process of transition towards Knowledge Society, development of educated citizens is of prime concern Ihr all nations of the world, The problem becomes acute for those with sizeable population with diversified culture, background and economic condition. Methodologies for provision of education are undergoing a sea change and are in a transitory phase of development with technology acting as an agent for change. It is in this context that a new method of education - Open and Distance Education (ODE) plays a vital role. The various methods followed in ODE system and the initiatives taken in India are discussed here, with particular reference to the role of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).

Abstract

In 2008, Quebec, the mother city of francophone culture in North America will host the World Library and Information Congress and the IFLA General Conference. The article discusses the development of the Canadian national library system against the background of the dynamic changes in Canadian society over the past decades which are characterized by relations between the two major language communities, the diverse heritage of Canada's aboriginal nations and ethnic immigrant communities as well as its federal constitution. It discusses the most important recent developments, especially the creation of Library and Archives Canada/Bibliotheque et Archives Canada in 2004 and Bibliotheque et Archives nationales du Quebec in 2006, as well as major infrastructure projects and the main strategies adopted by the two national libraries and the University of Toronto Library system in its function as a de facto national research library preserving important collections of Canadian and world heritage.

Abstract

traditionally, librarianship, archives management, and records management have functioned largely as autonomous disciplines. However, economic, technological and higher education trends conspire against continued, possibly self defeating, claims to uniqueness. Areas of convergence include the information life cycle concept, gatekeepers, information storage and retrieval, information representation, assistive and instructional roles, ethics, and custodial and preservation concerns. Suggests implications for education and research in an emerging field of 'information management' or information studies

Abstract

Describes the rethinking and revision of a course on online searching, at Michigan University, brought about by the proliferation of information services and interface available online. The course now focuses much more on the concepts underlying information searching and their interrelationships, exposes students to a wider variety of information services while still allowing them to develop skills on 1 specific system, and asks students to ne reflective regarding their own searching as well as the environment. The aim of this new version is to help students understand what expert searchers know about searching, their wisdom, by talking about more than file structures and search languages

Abstract

A training program for new catalogers is described which uses class sessions and a training manual in addition to actual cataloging. The exercises in the manual are designed to stimulate discussion, with the ultimate aim of developing judgment and an ability to analyze, as well as ensuring the mastery of cataloging principles. Classes were held over a period of twelve to thirteen weeks; some were attended by a few experienced paraprofessional and clerical staff members as well as by new librarians. The primary benefit of a formal training program is that, ideally, it provides not only a structured learning situation but also promotes the understanding of cataloging as a structured system.

Abstract

The education of cataloguing and classification in China includes university education, continuing education, professional training and is provided at basic training, junior college, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Cataloging, classification, and subject analysis are generally the core courses in the university curricula and offered with other required courses. Recent changes in the curricula have been the adjustment and integration of courses, the application of computer technology, the increase of practice, the update of course contents, and the improvement of teaching methods. The future trends of cataloguing and classification education in China may include: constant improvement of the teaching system, standardization of library science programs, introduction to new topics, promotion of graduate education, enhancement of continuing education and training, and development of online courses.

Abstract

Effective information management could be a key factor in the knowledge society in increasing productivity and contributing to growth in all sectors. It is not surprising that large corporate houses and even governments at various levels are attaching importance to effective information management. The emphasis on e-governance, the setting up of knowledge management units in large corporations, the setting up of telecentres in villages, the major changes in management and administration of libraries, the growing importance of the Web in knowledge transfer activities are all clear indicators of the changing times. Education for information management, therefore, assumes significance and a well-designed programme could be a major force in bringing about the much needed transformation in information resource management so as to be a major support in development-related activities, Professional education system should aspire to encompass the world of work in all its forms. Work constitutes the human sphere where knowledge and skills are applied and where new knowledge takes shape in response to societal needs. Critics have remarked that India's undergraduate and graduate programmes are too theoretical; the suggestion is that they are devoid of 'practical' experiences. This is true of most professional education programmes including Librarianship and information management. In addition the 'information arena' is rapidly changing and also widening. The implications of these environmental changes for educational programmes in the area of information resources management are examined. A few suggestions indicating priorities and possible approach for schools of information resource management in India have been made.

Abstract

Training in knowl­edge organization (KO) involves an understanding of theories for the construction, maintenance, use, and evaluation of logical documentary languages. Teaching these KO concepts in LIS programs are related basically to accessing documents and retrieving their intellectual content. This study focuses on access to documents and exploring the ethical theme in all its dimensions as applied to the teaching of an undergraduate discipline as part of a Bachelor of Library Science degree offered at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). As a methodology, a Project-based Pedagogy strategy is used in the teaching of a discipline called "Classification Systems: UDC" for students to classify a documentary resource from a collection on ethics. The teaching of bibliographic classification requires students to learn how to use the mechanisms available to form a notation as well as to use a syntax schema (tables) appropriately. Students also learn to determine a place for the document in the collection, considering the knowl­edge represented in the collection as a whole. Altogether, such a practice can help students to understand the theory underlying a classification system. The results show that the students were able to understand the basic concepts of knowl­edge organization. The students were also able to observe that the elements of the different tables of a classification tool are essential mechanisms for the organization of knowl­edge in other contexts, especially for specific purposes.
