This paper discusses what it means to consider the information experience of academic information management from a constructivist grounded theory perspective. Using a doctoral study-in-progress as case illustration, the authors demonstrate how information experience research applies a wide lens to achieve a holistic view of information management phenomena. By unifying a range of elements, and understanding information and its management to be inseparable from the totality of human experience, an information experience perspective offers a fresh approach to answering today's research questions.  Methodology: The case illustration is a constructivist grounded theory study, using interactive interviews, an original form of semi-structured qualitative interviews combined with card-sorting exercises , to deepen reflections by participants and externalize their information experiences. The constructivist variant of grounded theory offers an inductive, exploratory approach to address the highly contextualized information experiences of student-researchers in managing academic information.  Findings: Preliminary results are reported in the form of three interpretative categories that outline key aspects of the information experience for student-researchers. By presenting these initial results, we demonstrate how the constructivist grounded theory methodology can illuminate multiple truths and bring a focus on interpretive practices to the understanding of information management experiences.  Implications/limitations: This new approach offers holistic insights into academic information management phenomena as contextual, fluid, and informed by meaningmaking and adaptive practices. Limitations include the small sample size customary to qualitative research, situated within one situated perspective on the academic information management experience.  Originality/value: We demonstrate theoretical and methodological contributions of constructivist information experience research to illuminate information management in an academic setting.

Australian higher education is presently subject to a period of substantial change. The needs of the economy and workforce, together with the broader educational role of the university, are leading to focus on lifelong learning as a tool for bringing together the apparently diverging needs of different groups. Within this broader context, the emphasis on lifelong learning and associated graduate capabilities is leading to opportunities for new partnerships between faculty and librarians, partnerships that bring the two groups together in ways that are helping to transform the experience of teaching and learning. This paper explores emerging partnerships in diverse areas, including research and scholarship, curriculum, policy, supervision, and staff development. They are in the early phases of development and result from a broad focus on the learning and information literacy needs of students, as opposed to a narrow focus on using the library and its information resources. Taken toge...

The aim of this thesis is three-fold. The first aim is the overall intention of the thesis, to study Wells' lesser known works and understand their purpose. The texts analysed in the following chapters are the less well-known and less scrutinised of Wells' texts and the analysis will expand the critical body on Wells in a meaningful way. Wells' earlier works have an existing body of well-respected and well-established literature dedicated to them. However, his later texts have been over-looked. This thesis will address that problem. The two following aims are more focussed. The second aim is to demonstrate how Wells' ideological bias affected his work. Whilst not an exceedingly controversial point it is crucial for a deeper understanding of how his works act as a reaction to events. It also naturally leads to the final point. The thesis will argue Wells was such a dedicated socialist that as a contemporary history unfolded around him it was so inimical to his perceiv...

The paper focuses the implementation of knowledge management (KM) in libraries. It dwells on the concept of knowledge management from business, science and library perspectives. as well as the importance of implementing KM in libraries considering the benefits that would be derive by librarians and the parent organisation of the library. This include helping librarians to do their work and save time through better decision making and problem solving and developing professional code of ethics that librarians will adhere to among others. It also addresses the implementation stages of KM in libraries such as advocating and learning, developing strategy, design and launch of KM initiatives, expand and support of KM activities and institutionalize knowledge management. This will assist any library to actualize the knowledge management processes. Barriers for implementing KM in libraries are equally identified and recommendation made based on the review of literature in the article.

JPD 4 is in the process of writing for publication that ideas get honed and refined, and where deep and meaningful learning takes place. Writing is often seen as an individual process; in reality it's co-operative, collaborative and collegiate. If you're not already engaged in writing for publishing then I would encourage you to do so. There are a range of mechanisms in place to help and support this endeavour, which is at the heart of academic practice. As you read the articles in this journal think not only about their content but consider their long journey from original outline to final refined product.

Esamino un codice inedito di rime in lingua del poeta seicentesco Carlo Maria Maggi, conservato presso l'Università Cattolica di Milano. Ne fornisco una descrizione dettagliata, proponendo una datazione e analizzandone il contenuto, che include rime amorose, burlesche, sacre e politiche. Attraverso il confronto con altre raccolte e autografi di Maggi, suggerisco che il codice potrebbe essere un canzoniere autografo o una copia diretta, offrendo nuove prospettive sulla tradizione delle rime in lingua. In conclusione inserisco la trascrizione di dieci poesie inedite.

Prior to the beginning of a scientific career, every new scientist is obliged to confront the critical issue of defining the subject area where his/her future research will be conducted. Regardless of the capabilities of a new scholar, an erroneous selection may condemn a dignified effort and result in wasted energy, time and resources. In this article we attempt to identify the research fields which are attractive to these individuals. To the best of our knowledge, this is a new topic that has never been discussed or addressed in the literature. Here we formally set the problem and we propose a solution combining the characteristics of the attractive research areas and the new scholars. Our approach is compared against a statistical model which reveals popular research areas. The comparison of this method to our proposed model leads to the conclusion that not all trendy research areas are suitable for new scientists. A secondary outcome reveals the existence of scientific fields which although they are not so emerging, they are promising for scientists who are starting their career.

En el derecho comparado los sistemas de rubricación de libros varían desde la nula intervención estatal (alemán) a la máxima (francés), habiendo elegido nuestro Código el último. Sin entrar en valoraciones sobre la eficiencia del Estado en estos servicios, resulta claro que la tendencia a la utilización de libros rubricados es cada vez mayor en su variedad por el crecimiento de las sociedades comerciales y la potencia de procesamiento informático de datos, que permite y facilita la fragmentación y presentación de datos contables en un número cada vez mayor de libros, lo que difícilmente pueda ser acompañado por la burocracia estatal si se opta por el soporte papel.

In this paper, we highlight innovative public library programmes in the Global South, specifically in Africa, in a discussion of the work of the EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries) Public Library Innovation Programme (EIFL-PLIP)1 over the past 10 years. Through examples we show how under-resourced libraries in Africa lean on staff creativity and community engagement to introduce new programmes and services, often facing challenges that are unique to their communities and rare in the Global North.

The process of adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) is accelerating globally, but low-income economies still lag behind, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (Paua, 2004). To bridge this gap, many African governments have embarked on national ICT roll out programmes. In some countries, these programmes include equipping and resourcing public libraries with ICT (Farrell, Shafika, 2007). Although ICT opens doors to new library roles in Africa, it also brings challenges to library professionals, who must adopt, learn to use, manage and maintain new technology. They must deal with high expectations of library users and the authorities about the value and potential of ICT. Failure to meet expectations leads to increased insecurity of librarians and dissatisfaction among users. To help libraries use ICT to its full potential, the EIFL Public Library Innovation Programme (EIFL-PLIP) has developed a capacity-building framework for public librarians that aims to support...

We live in a computer-centric Information Age. The number of computers in-use including in libraries is growing rapidly. Computer literacy, which is the ability to operate a computer system for performing personal and job-related tasks like using web browsers and search engines on the internet to retrieve needed information and communicate with the others, is considered as a fundament part of today's library professionals skills. Library managers prefer professionals and librarians who are computer literate because they are more productive and efficient at work than those who are not computer literate. The paper seeks to investigate the use of Internet and Computer Communication Network skills of library professionals. Questionnaire was used to collect data for this research. 190 library professionals participated in the study. Results show an improved computer literacy level for Library Professionals in the study.

The rapid emergence of the novel coronavirus and its impact on human behavior provoked dramatic increases in human usage of a variety of systems. These increases had the potential to stress the scalability of the systems, testing whether the system owners had designed and built those systems to cope with sudden changes in demand. This case invites students to study a variety of different types of systems, and to analyze the means by which they can or did achieve scalability, and efficiently serve their customers.

One of the numerous challenges facing this country is how to bail out Nigeria's public enterprises from inefficiencies and obsolesce, which were set up to accomplish certain objectives. The enterprises in Nigeria have found themselves in a state of perfidy, low performance and undoubted inefficiency. Given this situation, the present administration, is bent on revitalizing these enterprises so as to achieve a developed and sustainable economy. One of the bold steps taken is to privatize and commercialize them so that their lost image can be redeemed. In the light of the above, there is an attempt in this paper to discuss the socio-economic justification for and the role of public enterprises in the Nigerian context, their performance before the new policy, privatization in action, its implication and finally suggests alternatives, strategies to this policy.

There are many factors to be taken into account when making selection decisions in an academic library including curriculum need, suitability of content, user interest, and academic input. Academic librarians in the Muslim Arabic country of the United Arab Emirates face the added challenge of making judgements about the suitability of the content in view of the community in which they work. In the absence of comprehensive collection development policies librarians are at times required to make decisions based on the sometimes conflicting demands of traditional Muslim values and their own beliefs about intellectual freedom. In this study nine academic librarians were asked to consider the suitability of twelve books and to offer criteria for their decision. A range of variables was also explored to identify possible relationships between the variables and selection decisions. The variables appearing to have an effect on decisions include the gender and nationality of the student population, and the nationality and religion of the librarian.

Basqal tarixən ipək məmulatı istehsalı, xüsusilə də kəlağayıçılıq sənəti ilə daha çox şöhrət tapmışdır. Basqallı ustaların nəfis şəkildə hazırladıqları kəlağayılara hələ uzaq keçmişdə Şərq və Avropa ölkələrində böyük maraq olmuş və bu nadir sənət inciləri Azərbaycanın iqtisadi və ticarət əlaqələrində mühüm rol oynamışdır. Onlar zaman-zaman müxtəlif beynəlxalq sərgilərin mükafatçısı olmuş və bu günə qədər dünyanın ən məşhur muzeylərinin dəyərli eksponatları kimi çıxış etməkdədirlər. Təsadüfi deyil ki, Basqal kəlağayısının simasında Azərbaycan kəlağayısı 2014-cü ildə UNESCO-nun Qeyri-Maddi Mədəni İrs üzrə Reprezentativ Siyahısına daxil edilmişdir.
