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

Designing an interdisciplinary graduate program in knowledge management requires a good understanding of knowledge processes and the ability to differentiate between information management and knowledge management. Given the complexity of knowledge and the nature of its existence, there is a need for graduate programs to go beyond information management and include in the curriculum disciplines that deal with social, cultural, and economic issues such as communication, cognitive science, and business. An understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of knowledge management is necessary for a more balanced and practical approach to the development of a knowledge management curriculum. In this article, the design and development of an interdisciplinary graduate program in knowledge management at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore is reported. The initiation of the program was influenced by the strong demand from the public sector in Singapore for knowledge management professionals. It was developed in close association with the information studies program at Nanyang Technological University. In the first year, the program attracted 230 applicants, of which 45 were selected-22 students came from the public sector and 23 students came from the private sector.

Abstract

Teaching cataloguing requires the instructor to make strategic decisions about how to approach the variety and complexity of the field and to provide an adequate theoretical foundation while preparing students for their entry into the world of practice. Accompanying these challenges are the tactical demands of providing this instruction in a distance education environment. Rather than focusing on ways to support learners in catalogue record production, instructors may use a problem solving and decision making approach to instruction. In this paper, a way to conceptualize a decision making approach that builds on a foundation provided by theories of information navigation is described. This approach, which is called "wayfinding", teaches by having students learn to find their way in the sets of rules that are commonly used. The method focuses on instruction about the structural features of rule sets, providing basic definitions of what each of the "places" in the rule sets contain (e.g., "formatting personal names" in Chapter 22 of AACR2R) and about ways to navigate those structures, enabling students to learn not only about common rules but also about less well known cataloguing practices ("dragons"). It provides both pragmatic and pedagogical benefits and helps develop links between cataloguing practices and their theoretical foundations.

Abstract

Interdisciplinarity implies the previous existence of disciplinary fields and not their dissolution. As a general objective, we propose to establish an initial approach to the emphasis given to interdisciplinarity in the teaching of KO, through the teaching staff responsible for postgraduate courses focused on -or related to the KO, in Ibero-American universities. For conducting the research, the framework and distribution of a survey addressed to teachers is proposed, based on four lines of action: 1. The way teachers manage the concept of interdisciplinarity. 2. The place that teachers give to interdisciplinarity in KO. 3. Assessment of interdisciplinary content that teachers incorporate into their postgraduate courses. 4. Set of teaching strategies and resources used by teachers to include interdisciplinarity in the teaching of KO. The study analyzed 22 responses. Preliminary results show that KO teachers recognize the influence of other disciplines in concepts, theories, methods, and applications, but no consensus has been reached regarding which disciplines and authors are the ones who build interdisciplinary bridges. Among other conclusions, the study strongly suggests that environmental and social tensions are reflected in subject representation, especially in the construction of friendly knowl­edge organization systems with interdisciplinary visions, and in the expressions through which information is sought.

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.
