Abstract

Business librarianship is affected by a combination of forces. Among them are the nature of business as a discipline, the characteristics of business publications, and the needs and expectations of business patrons. Business reference queries are almost always complex. To handle them well, the librarian must spend considerable time with each patron. Bibliographic expertise and subject knowledge are also required. Ways to improve the quality of business reference service include a willingness to help patrons devise appropriate search strategies, assisting them in understanding and evaluating search results, investing in self-education, developing service-oriented reference policies, implementing flexible reference desk schedules, and establishing formal staff training programs

Abstract

This study seeks to explore and report international business students' perceptions and expectations of electronic library services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A total of 143 international business students an campus volunteered to fill out a survey. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics as weIl as inferential statistics such as t-tests and correlation. A significant portion of international business students has no prior experience with electronic library services in their home countries. Moreover, about a half of international business students go to libraries other than the Business and Economics Library, partly because they provide better environment for study. Although electronic resources are available without the constraint of location, providing reference services for those who do not use the Business and Economics Library becomes a challenge. Virtual reference is an excellent tool, but most international business students do not see it as an important library service. Based an the results, implications for information literacy and virtual reference service are discussed.

Abstract

City of Westminster Central Reference Library's Information for Business Service was launched in 1986 with the aim of providing a value-added service and generating income. Initial charges, which were set using the minimum of market research, were found to be too low (£100 per year plus extra charges for photocopying, fax and lengthy searches). The present scheme is still based on an annual subscription but is time-based with £250 for 10 hours of search time. Clients are largely service companies such as management consultants, solicitors, accountants, design consultants, finance companies and recruitment consultants.

Abstract

Discusses the paradox which lies at the heart of the current state of information and which relates to the technological developments in information retrieval and to the perceptions of information as a resource. Suggests an information concept with particular reference to the KIMSystem, designed and developed to meet the challenge of information management and knowledge management

Abstract

By reference to the service management literature and by using the repertory grid technique, develops a set of service attributes which give a good indication of user perceptions of information systems success. Examines their relationship with the nature of the organisation, the level and involvement of users, and the kind of system to which they relate. There is no single overall set of attributes that relate to user perceptions of success, but it is possible to find subsets that do. The measurement and analysis of these attributes are helpful in setting management policies and guidelines for the improvement of perceptions of information systems success

Abstract

Reports results of the 7th annual survey of the use of business information in UK libraries, based on a questionnaire survey mailed in Jan 1998 to 817 libraries. The Internet is now a centrally important resource for nearly all UK business libraries and 90% of 1998 survey respondents are currently using it. While some end user services (Internet and CD-ROM) are being taken up, there is little evidence of penetration of end user online services in the organizations employing business librarians. After earlier fearing its consequences, business librarians now view end user access to the Internet with equanimity. Business reference departments in public libraries are facing a serious threat from the Internet. Business information budgets vary widely, from under 5.000 pounds to over 1 million pounds and the most common is the 5.000 to 24.999 pound range. Business libraries have espoused the information age and 50% spend at least half of their resources budgets on electronic data

Abstract

As the most comprehensive reference work dealing with knowledge management (KM), this work is essential for the library of every KM practitioner, researcher, and educator. Written by an international array of KM luminaries, its approx. 60 chapters approach knowledge management from a wide variety of perspectives ranging from classic foundations to cuttingedge thought, informative to provocative, theoretical to practical, historical to futuristic, human to technological, and operational to strategic. The chapters are conveniently organized into 8 major sections. The first volume consists of the sections: foundations of KM, knowledge - a key organizational resource, knowledge processors and processing, influences an knowledge processing. Novices and experts alike will refer to the authoritative and stimulating content again and again for years to come. The second volume consists of the sections: technologies for knowledge management, outcomes of KM, knowledge management in action, and the KM horizon. Novices and experts alike will refer to the authoritative and stimulating content again and again for years to come.

Abstract

Among the failings of the `knowledge management' discipline to date has been a narrow and parochial view of the `problem', one which focuses a very large part of its efforts on enabling technology, and then does a relatively poor job in that domain. The two overriding issues that have been neglected are, first, to hold the importance of both reified artefacts and participative interaction in balance, and, second, to understand that encapsulating wisdom is not particularly well served by attempting to translate tacit knowledge into explicit, if such a thing were even partly efficacious; possibly, though, explicit-knowledge artefacts can make iconic/semiotic reference to the collective tacit wisdom they represent. With this in mind, this paper examines an emerging shared metaphor, the business pattern, in the context of the encapsulation of wisdom. The paper provides some background on the concept of patterns as evolved from influential precursors, through the seminal work of Alexander, makes appropriate comparison to other approaches, and makes specific reference to its application in (object-oriented) systems analysis and design through the work of several key proponents. In the organizational context the work on patterns is still nascent, problematically the product of an overeducated few, and has yet to shake off an IT-derived or simplistic-organizational-model focus which is inherent in the patterns set down to date. This paper discusses the next logical evolution into `business patterns', and offers a more fully-realized template to illustrate the intent and to provide a framework for future development. It also provides a prototypical example of a documented business pattern using the framework discussed. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of intended and recommended future work, giving particular focus to the next evolutionary steps and to specific disciplines which have a crucial role to play in this important research area

Abstract

Knowledge management systems should focus on capturing and synthesizing ideas before they manifest themselves in formal documents or presentations. The information resource centre staff can play a crucial role incollection, clean-up and storage of data, and enabling access. They can enable the development of an ideas database which can be searched and used throughout the organization. By switching to a database environment rather than an email one, raw knowledge can be captured and utilized
