- Abstract
- Hypothesizing that workplace significantly affects information-seeking patterns, this study compared accessibility and use of information sources among 233 Israeli computer scientists and software engineers, employed in industry and academy, using a mail questionnaire, which yielded a usable reply rate of 33%. The two groups were found to differ significantly in age, education, seniority, and type of research they performed (basic vs. applied). Printed textbooks, professional journals, and oral discussions with colleagues or experts in the organization were common to both groups, topping almost all lists of accessibility and use. For most information sources, however, the two groups differed significantly and consistently. Printed professional journals as weIl as printed and electronic conference or meeting papers were consistently more accessible and more often used by the academy group, while the industry group reported greater access to and more frequent use of electronic textbooks and trade or promotional literature. In regard to handbooks and standards, in-house technical reports (printed), government technical reports (Internet), librarians and technical specialists (Internet), and oral discussions with supervisors, no significant differences in accessibility were found, but their use by the industry group was much higher. In both groups, accessibility was only partly related to use, and more so among the academy than the industry group.

- Abstract
- Although assisting and advising have always been central to the role of the reference librarian, the nature of reference work has evolved as a result of the proliferation of electronic resources and their impact on information access. One consequence has been the growing importance of library training in reference work. Considers the place of cooperative teaching, electronic teaching, innovative reference services, reference services outside the library, networking technologies, organization of electronic information and organizational ethos

- Abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this research is to identify UK English academics' conceptions of information literacy and compare those conceptions with current information literacy standards and frameworks. Design/methodology/approach - Three year AHRB-funded study involving 80 academics interviewed throughout the UK and using the phenomenographic research method to discover variation in experience leading towards identification of qualitatively different conceptions of information literacy. Conceptions are then reviewed in light of previous research and current librarian-generated frameworks and standards. Findings - The findings identify UK English academics' conceptions of information literacy and show them to be both similar to and significantly different from conceptions described in previous research and librarian-generated frameworks and standards. Research limitations/implications - The research focuses on creating a conceptual snapshot-in-time for the 20 English academics taking part. The research implies that disciplinary differences in conception of information literacy are significant and suggests further research to assess disciplinary conceptual differences. Practical implications - Librarians working with English faculty on information literacy need to be aware of differences in conception between themselves and academics to work effectively. The paper also highlights the significance of information literacy in English faculty's teaching and research practices and this relevance suggests that information literacy should be integrated into course and curriculum design. Originality/value - The paper fills a major gap in literature on information literacy by focussing on conceptions of lecturers, thereby counterbalancing the abundance of work produced by librarians. The paper illustrates the complexity of English academics' conceptions of information literacy and informs academics' use and understanding of information literacy.

- Abstract
- Durch die Übersetzung und Veröffentlichung der "Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education° der Association of College and Research Libraries wurde die Diskussion über Standards zur Informationskompetenz auch in Deutschland angeregt. Hier ist der Blick nun in die andere Richtung gewandt: Es geht nicht um die Kompetenzen der Studierenden, sondern um die Anforderungen, die an Veranstaltungen zur Vermittlung dieser Kompetenzen zu stellen sind. Im Sinne einer Professionalisierung der bibliothekarischen Schulungsangebote haben die Teilnehmer eines Workshop gemeinsam Standards erarbeitet, die in konzeptioneller, persönlicher und organisatorischer Hinsicht zu erfüllen sind. Den Verfassern ist durchaus bewusst, dass diese Vorgaben vielfach noch Zukunftsvisionen sind, deren Realisierung einige Anstrengungen erfordern wird. Das Schulungskonzept - beruht auf der Grundlage des Leitbildes der Bibliothek, - wird von der Bibliotheksleitung gefördert und vertreten, - ist erarbeitet in Kooperation mit Rechenzentrum, Medienzentrum und den Fachbereichen, - ist in der Hochschule bekannt und akzeptiert, - ist in das Lehrangebot eingebunden, - richtet sich an Zielgruppen, die nach Fachgebiet und Studienphase differenziert sind, - kann zusätzliche Angebote für spezielle Zielgruppen vorsehen, z.B. für ältere Studierende oder Schüler der Sekundarstufe II, - bezieht Multiplikatoren aus den Fachbereichen ein, - berücksichtigt den tatsächlichen Bedarf und die Voraussetzungen der jeweiligen Zielgruppe, - orientiert sich an klar definierten Lernzielen, - reagiert flexibel auf veränderte Rahmenbedingungen und Bedürfnisse, - unterliegt einer permanenten Erfolgskontrolle.

- Abstract
- Library information service assessment studies can help the reference librarian to form an accurate judgement on the library's structure and organization in terms of: efficiency; effectiveness; and cost/benefit ratio. These 3 assessment criteria can be applied to the following areas: staff; users; user requests; answers provided; library information service potential; and collection and documentation resources. Each of these areas yields further sub-categories for evaluation. Data collection methods depend on the end purpose of the assessment study, but may include the issue of questionnaires to librarians and users, and non invasive observation of user activities. The studies can be unpopular, as they may result in cuts in staff or services

- Abstract
- In this issue we begin with Lamb, King and Kling who are interested in the effect of the industry environment on information gathering practices, particularly those involving information and communication technologies like online searching. They studied use of online services in 26 widely differing California firms operating in law, real estate, or biotechnology over a 17 month period. Data was gathered through semi-structured on-site interviews. Five influences on online usage were identified: interaction with regulatory agencies; demonstration of competence to clients; client expectations for timely, cost effective information; the possibility of shifting information responsibilities outside the organization; and the existence of industry wide infrastructures as information sources. The institutional and technical environment of a firm consistently circumscribes the domain in which choices of online resources are made by its employees. Firms the operate in highly technical and institutional environments have more incentive to gather information than do those in low tech unregulated industries.

- Abstract
- Modern technology has radically altered the administration of information services and offers a range of alternative sources of information. Librarians must be prepared to use the technology to highlight the importance of their services. Benchmarking provides a useful guarantee to standards of service and assists in improving services on an ongoing basis. In the Netherlands useful models for assessing services have been developed by the Instituut Nederlandse Kwaliteit and the Economic Instituut voor het Midden- en Kleinbedrijf

- Abstract
- This article seeks to shift the literature an chat-based reference services beyond the current spate of case studies and discussions of emerging standards and best practices in providing chat-based reference, to a higher level of discussion an the creation and discussion of theoretical frameworks to unite these standards and practices. The article explores the varlous steps in the process of providing synchronous, chat-based reference, as well as issues involved in providing such service at each step. The purpose of this exploration is twofold: First, this article presents some open research questions at each step in the process of providing chatbased reference service. Second, the entire process of providing chat-based reference is viewed as a whole, and a model of the provision of chat-based reference service is developed at a high level of abstraction. lt is hoped that this model may serve as a conceptual framework for future discussions of and development of applications for chat-based reference.

- Abstract
- The virtual university environment provides librarians with new opportunities to contribute to the educational process. Building on the success of team-teaching a traditional liberal arts core course with composition and communications faculty, librarians and a communications professor worked together to integrate the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (2000) into the online environment. The resulting graduate-level course in multimedia literacy assembled faculty and curriculum resources normally untapped in traditional classrooms. All five information literacy standards covering need, access, evaluation, use and the social, economic, legal, and ethical issues surrounding information use were addressed. Readings and threaded discussions about intellectual property, fair use of copyrighted materials, the evaluation of free and fee-based Web information and Web page design and construction prepared students to work in groups to design and construct Web sites. Students also completed a capstone project in the form of individual Web portfolios, which demonstrated the information and multimedia principles they learned in the class. Assessment of information literacy skills occurred through the analysis of student discussion, evaluative annotations, Web site assignments, perception surveys, and a master's level comprehensive exam question. What was learned in this course will serve as a model for future collaborative partnerships in which faculty and librarians work together to ensure that students who learn from a distance truly master information literacy competencies.
