Résumé :
Departing from the serials crisis, this paper seeks to point out the areas of conflict, which are dominated by three principal agents: the scientific community, publishing houses and libraries. In order to facilitate interaction between these agents the open access movement has been formed, which receives considerable support from the librarianship. Abutted to the Anglo-American university presses, it has been postulated in the scientific community that German universities engage in publishing activities too. The focal point of this work is - apart from an assessment of the current situation and an overview of the Anglo-American university presses - a critical account of the German university press. On the basis of qualitative interviews different publishing houses are critically assessed in terms of their services offered. In a short excursus this paper describes subject-related publishing activities in the context of the open access movement. In conclusion this paper will expound the problems of German university presses – and formulate an outlook as to what may be the future course of the industry.

Résumé :
Quando si parla di green information technology si fa riferimento a un nuovo filone di ricerche focalizzate sulle tecnologie ecologiche o verdi rivolte al rispetto ambientale. In prima battuta ci si potrebbe chiedere quali siano le reali motivazioni che possono portare allo studio di tecnologie green nel settore dell’information technology: sono così inquinanti i computer? Non sono le automobili, le industrie, gli aerei, le discariche ad avere un impatto inquinante maggiore sull’ambiente? Certamente sì, ma non bisogna sottovalutare l’impronta inquinante settore IT; secondo una recente indagine condotta dal centro di ricerche statunitense Gartner nel 2007, i sistemi IT sono tra le maggiori fonti di emissione di CO2 e di altri gas a effetto serra , con una percentuale del 2% sulle emissioni totali del pianeta, eguagliando il tasso di inquinamento del settore aeromobile. Il numero enorme di computer disseminato in tutto il mondo assorbe ingenti quantità di energia elettrica e le centrali che li alimentano emettono tonnellate di anidride carbonica inquinando l’atmosfera. Con questa tesi si vuole sottolineare l’impatto ambientale del settore verificando, attraverso l’analisi del bilancio sociale ed ambientale, quali misure siano state adottate dai leader del settore informatico. La ricerca è volta a dimostrare che le più grandi multinazionali informatiche siano consapevoli dell’inquinamento prodotto, tuttavia non adottano abbastanza soluzioni per limitare le emissioni, fissando futili obiettivi futuri.

Résumé :

The role of the academic library has shifted from developing book collections to serving the information and technology needs of students and faculty. The needs of library users change more quickly and unpredictably than the needs of books, and library directors have pushed beyond the traditional incremental approach to library development to respond to changing needs. As many universities struggle to balance budgets, library directors must demonstrate the value and demand for library spaces and services to justify investments in construction and renovation projects. This study investigates the reasons that the new library space projects were undertaken and the forces driving decisions about investments in the library facilities. The cases in this dissertation present studies of three private, non-profit liberal arts institutions in the Eastern United States that have recently invested in major renovation or construction projects for new library spaces. At each site, interviews and focus group sessions were conducted with librarians, students, faculty, and library administrators. Archival material was researched to supplement the data collected from the subjects of the interviews. A multi-lens framework of strategic change is used to examine the forces and factors that influenced the decisions to pursue new library spaces in each case study. The institutions in the study successfully developed new learning commons and library spaces through renovation or construction projects. Each of the libraries in the study faced similar factors leading to a new space, including overcrowding, interest from students in collaborative learning, increased demand for access to technology, and the decline in the use of the printed book. The strong leadership of the library director, with support from the institution’s president, contributed to the success of each project in the study. The importance of this study derives from its examination of the changing factors and forces that drive the uses of new library spaces, highlighting the need to build flexibility into new construction projects.

Texte intégral
Résumé :
School impact media studies indicate that a well-staffed and funded school library media program with a certified school library media specialist (SLMS) positively correlates with increased student achievement. SLMS must have a shared understanding of their roles and responsibilities to positively impact student success. In an effort to determine prior knowledge and differentiated learning objectives, the method of certification is critical for planning professional development. This dissertation presents a multi-method investigation of differences between Alternatively Certified (AC) and Traditionally Certified (TC) SLMS as it relates to their perceptions of collaboration, leadership and technology described in Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning (1998). The overall findings were used to generate recommendations for SLMS professional development. Of 2350 total SLMS in Florida, 161 AC and 318 TC SLMS responded to an online job task analysis. The strength of association between method of certification and perceptions of job tasks under the three themes (collaboration, leadership, and technology) were compared using statistical analysis (i.e. variance, standard deviation, t-tests, chi-square tests, and ANOVA). Longitudinal comparisons were made between this study and baselines studies from 1996 and 2006. There were no significant differences between AC and TC overall perceptions of collaboration, leadership and technology as indicated by the job task analysis survey. Two tasks within collaboration and technology themes had large significant differences in AC and TC responses. TC SLMS were more likely to "Assist students and/or teachers with general references services (e.g., answer reference questions)" and to "Evaluate the adequacy and suitability of facilities, equipment, materials, and services with regard to their impact on learning outcomes." TC SLMS were significantly more familiar with IP2, made more attempts to implement IP2, and attended more in-services on IP2. Observations and interviews with two AC and two TC SLMS triangulated the survey data and explored questions related to professional development. Interview participants advocated for content developed by other SLMS and mentorship training. SLMS asserted that professional development should include school and county protocols, evaluation tools and methods, relevant and accessible technologies (i.e. school and district software, Student Information System, Library Databases Standards such as CORE Curriculum). The SLMS indicated a preference for the following professional development methods: SLMS designed and implemented professional development; formal and informal SLMS sharing; differentiation and options to opt-out based on prior experiences and expertise; relevant and accessible technology training; and mentorship. These findings inform ways to effectively recruit, train, certify, and differentiate instruction in SLMS programs and professional development courses. Furthermore, our qualitative findings indicate a need to examine the impact of reduced budgets on school library media programs. Future studies should investigate the impact of increased numbers of non-certified SLMS and cuts to library staff on student achievement and K-12 learning communities. While this study counted the total number of non-certified SLMS in addition to the AC and TC SLMS, results from the sample of non-certified SLMS collected during the job task analysis were not analyzed because it was too small for comparison or generalizability.

Résumé :
The aim of the research was to investigate the current state of scientific and technological (S&T) information service provision in Thailand with a focus on its role of supporting research and development. The ultimate goal of the research was to develop a service model(s) which could aid the modernisation of the S&T information service. The information policies and strategic management at national and institutional levels were examined together with present and future roles in service provision and barriers to S&T information development. The research framework was constructed on the basis of theoretical models of the provision and management of effective information services. The institutions which participated in this research included 46 academic and special libraries in Thailand, hereafter called S&T information centres, and two funding agencies. The data were collected using a variety of research tools, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, namely, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. The questionnaires were distributed to five groups of respondents: executives, managers, librarians or staff, end-users, and executives or policy-makers of funding agencies. Two hundred and eighty-nine questionnaires were sent by post to 45 S&T information centres and two funding agencies whilst 703 questionnaires were also distributed to end-users. Interviews were performed with 55 executives and library managers. Three focus groups were organised on different topics, with a total of 36 participants. The major findings showed that national information policy in relation to S&T information was still relatively ineffective with roles and responsibilities of stakeholders not explicitly identified. In general, the results showed that institutional information policies exist but weak communication between executives, managers, and staff caused problems with implementation and interpretation. Most S&T centres were found to have strategic plans. The focus of these were on issues of integrated ICT infrastructure, acquisition of electronic resources, service improvement, communication with users and feedback, user education, cost effective use of resources, E-library transition and knowledge sharing. The development of resource sharing via computerised networks was considered to be paramount; progress to date was thought to be slow due to a lack of policies at national and institutional levels. Users' information literacy was still found to be an issue, particularly in respect of making effective use of electronic resources. The thesis provided recommendations for a national network for S&T information provision to be designed and managed by a hosting provider.

Résumé :
Over the past decades, information technology has been impacting industries, economics, the way of life and even the culture throughout the world. Productivity has been attracting much attention as an important indicator of economics, and numerous researchers have investigated the relationship between information technology and productivity. Construction is one of the largest industries in the United States, but little research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between information technology and construction productivity. The major objective of this dissertation is to determine the degree (if any) to which information technology usage, specifically the use of information technology to automate and integrate construction project work functions, is related to construction productivity. First, the author analyzed the relationship between information technology and construction productivity on a national-level basis. Second, the author compared the relationship between information technology’ contribution to value added growth and productivity in the construction industry with other industries. Third, the author performed a series of statistical analyses to investigate the relationship between construction productivity and automation and integration applications at the construction project level. Based on the above results, the author developed a matrix to map the relationship between technology usage on each work function and productivity in the concrete, structural steel, electrical and piping trades. In addition, a technology index developed from technology usage on all of the work functions were used to investigate the general effect of information technology usage on a project level. In order to leverage the relative importance of technology on each work function, regression analyses were performed to obtain a further understanding of the relationship. Factor analysis was also applied to identify the latent factors and simplify the patterns of relationships among the different work functions. This analysis could provide construction companies an indication about information technology usage priority and deployment in their work. Finally, a detailed examination of how Building Information Modeling, representing a current significant advancement of information technology usage on many construction projects, impacts the performance of a specific construction project is performed through a case example.

Bibliography: leaves 289-318.
In this thesis, the author attempted to develop a method to help information Technology/Systems learners find relevant information on the lnternet. The literature indicated that it is essential that learners should be able to retrieve relevant information from electronic sources. However, it was also stated repeatedly that searching on the Internet using standard search engines is not an easy task. It was also noted that a move was taking place away from traditional teaching methods to those with more learner involvement, making use of new computer and communication technologies. Initial experiments were done with IT/IS learners to determine how and where they search on the Internet, and what degree of success they had. The most important data gathered from these experiments was the tack of search strategy displayed by learners; the search engines chosen by them; and their success rate. Only 32.2% of all learners in this study managed to find one piece of relevant information in 30 minutes without any assistance. The data was used to design and later improve a tool to guide them in their searching endeavours. This tool, called "Finder Of information On The Internet" (FOIOTI, at http://www.mwe.co.za), was then extensively tested by measuring searching success, with and without using it. The data was gathered by examining and summarizing the forms completed by the learners during the searching experiments. During this study the author found that most learners had little or no training on Internet usage; often worked on the Internet; could not specify their search properly; used very few of the operators offered by search engines; and had a low success rate in finding relevant data. The two final phases of experiments proved that FOIOTI, as a searching tool, was successful. During these two phases, 71.0% of the participants claimed that they found the specified information when using FOIOTI within 30 minutes. A total of 1109 learners from three continents and 20 institutions took part in the study, spread over 46 sessions. Every session was administered personally by the author. This research project has contributed to the existing body of knowledge on Information Retrieval and education by having developed a tool that enhances learner involvement in the learning process. It enables educators to explore easier alternatives of locating educational resources by drawing on the experience of other website authors in their field. It also entices the average learner to re-skill him/herself on the use of an exciting and promising new technology: Information Retrieval through the Internet.

Résumé :
Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.
In Information Technology (IT) service management, the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has been established as a standard and framework for managing IT services within private and public sector. However, in South African public sector, the value of this framework including the capacity management process has not been determined. The aim of the study was to assess the capacity management process within the service design stage of the ITIL framework in managing IT services at a selected public organisation in South Africa. Assessing capacity management in the context of this research was to judge whether it adds value to the organisation. Main questions asked were: to what extent has ITIL been implemented in the public sector in South Africa?, what benefits have been achieved through the implementation of ITIL in the public sector in South Africa? and how effective is the capacity management process of ITIL in the South African public sector? The study adopts a qualitative approach based on primary and secondary data. A purposive sampling method was used to collect data through interviews of ICT officials in Pretoria and Western Cape regions. It is evident in terms of the findings that capacity management within the organisation is practiced, but the organisation still has challenges in managing the process. Findings reveal challenges around user account management, ICT skills shortage and capacity constraints, information, network monitoring tools, and ITIL implementation. DeLone and McLean theoretical framework was used to analyse the capacity management process to explain the findings. A lack of clear ICT planning among the leadership is a contributing factor. Lack of adhering to standards, procedures and processes make it almost impossible to manage capacity. Efforts to address the technical and organisational challenges such as technical skills and stakeholders immediately reporting the users that need to be terminated on systems prohibit the success of capacity management process. Drawing the conclusion, it is recommended that efforts to address challenges should move beyond just ICT, into a comprehensive action by all stakeholders in respective of inter departmental units and executive who make decisions. Solutions should be embedded with ICT being able to manage technology, auditing of processes, and capacity to ensure excellence through reduced risk, increased efficiency, confident forecasts, and cost effectiveness is essential.

Résumé :
Building on current literature, the present study was primarily undertaken to explore techno-stress experiences among academic library employees at the University of Ghana. The study also sought to identify the Africentric coping strategies adopted. Other specific objectives pursued included; the determination of the relationship between techno-stress and other variables such as age, gender, educational qualification and work experience. In all, one hundred employees responded to a set of questionnaire. Data analytic methods included thematic analysis using Microsoft Excel and key findings were identified. Findings of the study showed that academic library employees experience techno-stress and are more likely to adopt appropriate Africentric coping strategies. Further findings reveals the existence of a linkage between techno-stress, level of education and work experience whereas there was no evidence of techno-stress relating to gender and age. Recommendations included; educating employees on techno-stress to be able to recognize its significant symptoms, the implementation of regular training sessions for employees to update their technological skills, and the need to reschedule the time patterns with which employees work and also the relevance of thriving organisations to employ highly qualified staff among others.

Seaman, David M. « Leading Across Boundaries| Collaborative Leadership and the Institutional Repository in Research Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges ». Thesis, Simmons College, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10601531.

Texte intégral
Résumé :

Libraries often engage in services that require collaboration across stakeholder boundaries to be successful. Institutional repositories (IRs) are a good example of such a service. IRs are an infrastructure to preserve intellectual assets within a university or college, and to provide an open access showcase for that institution’s research, teaching, and creative excellence. They involve multiple stakeholders (librarians, IT experts, administrators, faculty, and students) and are typically operated by academic libraries. They have existed since the early 2000s.

Collaborative leadership has been studied in areas such as health care and business, but it has received little attention in studies of library leadership and management. Collaborative leadership has been shown to be an effective leadership style for an increasingly networked world; it is an interactive process in which people set aside self-interests, share power, work across boundaries, and discuss issues openly and supportively. Collaborative leadership moves organizations beyond mere cooperation towards a state of interdependence; it empowers all members of a team to help each other to achieve broader goals, find personal satisfaction in their work, and sustain productive relationships over time. A better understanding of collaborative leadership can inform both IR development and future complex multi-stakeholder campus services.

Two methodologies – content analysis of IR web pages and surveys of library directors and IR developers – were employed to determine if IRs revealed evidence of collaborative leadership. The study populations were those members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Oberlin Group of liberal arts colleges that operated IR services by July 2014 (146 institutions overall). The research examined if IR format, size, age, nomenclature, or technology platform varied between ARL and Oberlin Group members. It asked if there is any difference in the perception of collaborative leadership traits, perceived IR success, or collaborative involvement with stakeholder communities between ARL and Oberlin Group members or between library directors and IR developers. The study found evidence of all six collaborative leadership traits being examined: assessing the environment for collaboration, creating clarity, building trust, sharing power, developing people, and self-reflection.

Résumé :
We propose that emerging collaboration, or groupware, technology that supports synchronous interaction among students and faculty can add new aspects to the traditional distance learning and university course models. To explore this assumption we taught a masters' level university course using collaboration technology. In our approach, collaboration technology (integrated synchronous audio- and video-conferencing, electronic whiteboard and shared application tools) was used to provide students at universities in different countries opportunities to participate in interactive class exercises and discussions, and to do class assignments together. Students also participated in traditional, face-to-face class seminars, discussions and exercises at their local university. Thus students learned using collaboration technology and traditional methods. In this paper we describe the course and discuss students' evaluations of the course, their collaboration with each other, and collaboration technology used during the course. Students evaluated the course and their collaborative experiences very highly but reported unique challenges and had mixed impressions with respect to the technology. Challenges included establishing interpersonal communication and meeting commitments. In general, students judged collaboration technology lower than e-mail and telephony in characteristics such as social presence, participation and ease of use. However, there were differences in evaluations among students in Chapel Hill and Oulu implying cultural preferences. In addition, students reported varying degrees of productivity and variety of tasks afforded the technology. These differences were similar for students in Chapel Hill and Oulu, implying individual preferences influenced evaluation of the technology. These results appear to imply that students need to learn principles of collaboration in addition to the technology for collaborative learning across distances to occur, and that a variety of technologies are needed to accommodate cultural and individual differences among students.

Résumé :
This research looked at barriers to successful applications of information and communication technology (ICT) in Botswana. Botswana has high investments in ICT infrastructure development in the public service. However, there is still concern about service delivery not being satisfactory. Many departmental functions are still performed manually despite the availability of computers and people capable of using them. The research question addressed is why there is lack of exploitation of ICT in the Botswana public sector. Two government departments based in the capital city were selected as case studies and investigated using questionnaires and semi structured interviews to determine the status of employee relations and ICT use. Questionnaires were used to solicit satisfaction perception of the general public about public service using a sample of capital city population. This research revealed a digital divide within Botswana. Within the public sector, computer penetration as well as internet access is very high as there is 1 computer for every 2 employees. For the general public, computer ownership is low as about 28% of the population have computers at home. Despite availability of computers in the public service, members of the public experience delay when they seek service. Motivation and payment are biggest problem regarding employee relations. ICT support is satisfactory though this might be due to low level of ICT use. Fear of change is the main limiting factor to ICT exploitation in Botswana. It was found that maintenance cost of ICT infrastructure is in the order of 8 times the national average salary. A framework is proposed to help policy makers on how best to exploit existing ICT infrastructure. Botswana has remained at the first level of ICT exploitation for over 10 years. Suggestions are made as to how the next level could be reached and future research is also discussed.

Texte intégral
Résumé :
The social benefits derived from analysing crime data need to be weighed against issues relating to privacy loss. To facilitate such analysis of crime data Burke and Kayem [7] proposed a framework (MCRF) to enable mobile crime reporting in a developing country. Here crimes are reported via mobile phones and stored in a database owned by a law enforcement agency. The expertise required to perform analysis on the crime data is however unlikely to be available within the law enforcement agency. Burke and Kayem [7] proposed anonymising the data(using manual input parameters) at the law enforcement agency before sending it to a third party for analysis. Whilst analysis of the crime data requires expertise, adequate skill to appropriately anonymise the data is also required. What is lacking in the original MCRF is therefore an automated scheme for the law enforcement agency to adequately anonymise the data before sending it to the third party. This should, however, be done whilst maximising information utility of the anonymised data from the perspective of the third party. In this thesis we introduce a crime severity scale to facilitate the automation of data anonymisation within the MCRF. We consider a modified loss metric to capture information loss incurred during the anonymisation process. This modified loss metric also gives third party users the flexibility to specify attributes of the anonymised data when requesting data from the law enforcement agency. We employ a genetic algorithm(GA) approach called "Crime Genes"(CG) to optimise utility of the anonymised data based on our modified loss metric whilst adhering to notions of privacy denned by k-anonymity and l-diversity. Our CG implementation is modular and can therefore be easily integrated with the original MCRF. We also show how our CG approach is designed to be suitable for implementation in a developing country where particular resource constraints exist.

Résumé :
There is a lack of technology that facilitates knowledge sharing in the medical sector. In several countries there is a shortage of medical staff with the proper education to take care of patients suffering from dementia. However, modern mobile and web technology pave the way for new online knowledge sharing platforms which could help remedy this problem. This study investigates how an interface of a mobile e-library, aimed at sharing dementia-related knowledge, could be created. It also examines how care workers perceive it and if they could be willing to adopt the technology in the future. This thesis project was carried out at Svenskt Demenscentrum, a non-profit organization with the purpose of disseminating and collecting knowledge concerning dementia. The prototype was designed using the double diamond process. This included an initial literature study and state-of-the-art analysis, which was followed by two workshops with professional care workers. The final design was created iteratively with feedback from a focus group. A total of four sessions with the focus group were organized. The final prototype was evaluated using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model. 12 participants took part in the user tests, all had previously taken care of patients suffering from dementia. The findings of the user tests suggest that the users perceived the interface as both useful and easy to use. This finding also indicates that the users, according to the TAM model, would be willing to adopt the technology if fully developed. All of the participants found the application fitting for smartphone devices. Some suggestions regarding further implementations of the interface included the addition of an onboarding process for those less familiar with modern design conventions and the inclusion of a social forum or discussion page that would allow for a direct knowledge exchange between the users.
Det finns en brist på teknologier som förenklar kunskapsdelning inom den medicinska sektorn. I flera länder har det dokumenterats en tilltagande brist vårdpersonal med tillräcklig utbildning för att ta hand om patienter som lider av demens. Kunskapsdelning kan underlättas med mobila onlineplattformar, utvecklade for att användare ska kunna dela expertis med varandra. Den här studien undersöker hur gränssnittet till ett mobilt e-bibliotek, med mal att dela demensrelaterade kunskaper, skulle kunna utvecklas. Den undersöker även om vårdpersonal och släktingar till demenssjuka kan förväntas anamma teknologin i framtiden. Detta masterarbete utfördes i samarbete med Svenskt Demenscentrum, en stiftelse som arbetar för att samla, strukturera och sprida kunskap om demens.  En prototyp for gränssnittet designades efter 'double Diamond'-modellen. Detta inkluderade genomförandet av en litteraturstudie, en 'state-of-the-art'-analys samt två workshops med professionell vårdpersonal. Den slutgiltiga designen togs fram iterativt med feedback från en fokusgrupp. Totalt organiserades fyra sessioner med fokusgruppen.  Den slutgiltiga prototypen utvärderades sedan efter 'Technology Acceptance'-modellen (TAM). Tolv deltagare rekryterades till användartesterna, alla med tidigare erfarenhet av demensvård, som vårdarbete eller släktingar. Resultatet från testerna antydde att användarna uppfattade prototypgranssnittet som både användbart och lättanvänt. I enlighet men TAM-modellen, implicerar detta att målgruppen är mottaglig för att använda en full implementation av teknologin. Alla deltagare uppfattade även prototypen som lämplig för 'smartphone'-enheter. Testdeltagarna lyfte även fram ett antal rekommendationer gällande vidareutvecklingen av gränssnittet. Bland annat föreslogs det att en 'onboarding'-process skulle kunna implementeras samt en diskussionssida; eller dylikt som skulle tillåta användarna att delta i ett direkt kunskapsutbyte med varandra.

Résumé :

Information Technology (IT) professionals use the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) process to better manage their business operations, measure performance, improve reliability and lower costs. This study examined the operational results of those data centers using ITIL against those that do not, and whether the results change when traditional facilities engineers are included in the process. Overall, those IT departments using ITIL processes had no statistically significant improvements when compared to those who do not. Inclusion of Critical Facilities (CF) personnel in the framework offered a statistically significant improvement in their overall reliability of their data centers. Those IT departments who do not include CF personnel in the ITIL framework have a slightly lower level of reliability than those who do not use the ITIL processes at all.

Venters, Will J. « The introduction of knowledge management technology within the British Council : an action research study ». Thesis, University of Salford, 2003. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/2104/.

Texte intégral
Résumé :
The study describes action research undertaken within the Knowledge Management programme of the British Council, a not-for-profit multinational organisation. An interpretive methodology is adopted because of its appropriateness to the study of real-life complex situations. There is a contested literature on Knowledge Management which this study explores and contributes too. The action research draws on a social constructivist stance to develop and introduce Knowledge Management systems for significant groups within the organisation. A rich set of issues emerge from the literature, and the action research, which contribute to the discourse on Knowledge Management systems and their use in practice. The study suggests that a methodological framework is beneficial in supporting the development and introduction of such systems. However the research identified that Knowledge Management problems cannot be identified and so reconceptualises Knowledge Management in terms of improvement. A framework is developed (AFFEKT: Appreciative Framework for Evolving Knowledge Technologies) to such improvement. This framework is used in the final action research cycle. The conclusions are drawn from a reflection on the application of this framework and reflection on broader issues raised by the action research. The study concludes that knowledge management systems should introduced through an ongoing iterative process of reflection and action. Knowledge Management systems should encourage new work practices, however this requires a realisation that the development of a Knowledge Management systems is a reflective process by which the system is integrated into existing practice and enables users to critique this practice. The study contributes to the discourse concerning the application of technology within Knowledge Management (Galliers 1999; Alavi and Leidner 2001; Butler 2002; Wickramasinghe 2002). It contributes to the field of Information Systems by describing a coherent narrative on the introduction of knowledge management systems within a unique organisational context, and by developing a framework to aid intervention.

Résumé :
Includes bibliographical references.
As libraries are in the transition of moving from print to electronic resources, the purpose of the study was to investigate the use and value of library's e-resources by academics and postgraduates at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). There is evidence from previous studies that today's users have their information needs met via a number of options. They need not physically come to the library; they can stay at home or at their offices to access e-resources. The study focused on the use and value of the library's e-resources in two departments (Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering) in the Faculty of Engineering. The main aim was to determine whether academics and postgraduates use e-resources, the purpose for which they used e-resources in the process of teaching, learning and research, the extent to which they were aware of the e-resources, the value they regarded as the benefit from using e-resources and the problems they encountered in their use of e-resources. The study population consisted of 251 academics and postgraduates. A questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. The questionnaire was distributed to 82 academics, 135 MTech and 34 DTech students. The results of the study are based on the data from 60 returned questionnaires from academics and postgraduates. The study found that the majority of the respondents used e-resources, but a few respondents did not use e-resources because they were not aware of them. Respondents who used e-resources used them for a variety of purposes, including gathering information for a specific topic; doing literature reviews, getting answers to specific questions, and gaining general information. The study also encountered respondents who had problems when using e-resources. These problems included internet connections, slow downloading of articles; time constraints and the need for training in the use of e-resources. The majority of respondents from the study thought that they benefited from using the library's e-resources.

Magnussen, Amanda. « The development of virtual libraries in Commonwealth Libraries in Australia ». Thesis, 2002. http://eprints.rclis.org/6753/1/Magnussen-thesis.pdf.

Texte intégral
Résumé :
This research examines the development of virtual libraries in Commonwealth libraries in Australia in 1998-1999. The background to the study lies in some of the current issues in the information sector, and government responses to those issues. The study begins by considering the nature of the Australian Commonwealth Government, reviewing what government libraries are and whom they serve, and examining the future trends expected to affect Commonwealth libraries. The current state of virtual library research is then reviewed, and the need for research in the Commonwealth library sector examined. The author reviews the virtual library concept as expressed in the literature in the field, determines what a virtual library is, and gives consideration to why virtual libraries are being developed. The issues that affect and are affected by virtual library development are then examined. Based on this, a model of virtual libraries is formulated, along with a brief consideration of the possible application, importance and problems associated with each element of the model. The research design and methods that were used to gather information for this study are then outlined, along with the inherent limitations of the research model. Following this, the findings from a survey of virtual library development in Commonwealth libraries are discussed. The author then conducts some analysis of these responses, and makes comparisons between different Commonwealth library responses, as well as comparisons with virtual library studies conducted in American and Australian academic libraries. The research concludes by attempting to reach some conclusions about Commonwealth virtual library development and the validity of the proposed model of virtual libraries. Flowing from this, recommendations are made for further research in this field.

Résumé :
The possibility of developing new services for public libraries, profiting from the potentialities of Information and Communication Technologies, is explored. The outburst, expansion and generalized use of new technologies challenges public libraries, especially those concerned with the development of new online information services. The main international guidelines ascribed to public libraries, as community information centres, are described. Some of the social consequences of new technologies are presented and their impact on libraries, particularly in Portugal, is discussed. Examples of information services that can be made available by libraries are also presented, with special relevance to online community services. The implementation of such services represent technical and social changes that may be studied in a common framework. In order to understand this process, the Actor-Network theory and its main concepts are presented and its use as a methodological framework is fundamented. Its relevance in the field of information systems development is particularly discussed presenting examples and suggesting possibilities. A case study is presented, taking into account the possibilities of development for these new services. The study and knowledge of the situation allowed us to specify some of the new information services to offer, discussing this process from an Actor-Network perspective. This research aims to contribute to the creation, in the middle run, of new information services still non-existent in a great number of Portuguese libraries. Actor-Network Theory is proposed as a methodological tool to develop such services.

Résumé :
The main objective of the thesis “Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Automated Networking and Resource Sharing in the Selected Public and Private University Libraries in Bangladesh: A Study” is to fulfill the partial requirements for course ISLM-505 of the Masters Degree in Information Science and Library Management. It is believed that this type of work is inevitably the result of the collaboration of many great helpers, otherwise continuing alone with a gigantic mass of scattered materials and on the subject and their presentation in a form most coherent and consistent can outbalance the patience of a feeble mind as him. All available papers, relevant documents, international journals’ articles and some brochures have been minutely scanned through. The present study has been discussed under seven broad chapters. The study discusses the methodology, scope and objectives adopted for collection, presentation and analysis of data for this study. It focuses the meaning, need and scope of resource sharing and library networking and use of ICT facilities for automated networking and resource sharing and traces the historical growth and development, functions and services of some selected public and private university libraries in Dhaka city. The study also attempts to discuss the present status of resource sharing and networking of libraries, particularly public and private university libraries in Dhaka city. It also covers the previous situation, present condition and future prospects of resource sharing in the public and private university libraries in Bangladesh and a suitable proposal for library networking and resource sharing among the public and private university libraries has been made. The findings and recommendations from the study should hopefully lead to a clarification of many problems in the formulation of planning andpolicy making regarding resource sharing and library networking. It is assumed that it would help the librarians, policy makers and concerned authority to develop and implement a suitable system to accelerate library resource sharing activities in Bangladesh. However, all the possible investigations have been made to collect data related to the study in order to give a complete picture. It may be useful as a basic work for future investigators. If the work is found useful to the planners, librarians and information specialists, the efforts undertaken would be successful.

Texte intégral
Résumé :
Environments for working with digital objects are stored as container files called system images. Those system images require an emulator to provide the environment. Other approaches to automatize customizations of system images require the installation of additional tools inside the emulated environments. In contrast, the Assisted Create View approach enables system administrators to repeat work flows across many images without the need for additional software. The approach is based on a VNC API built into the emulator and is therefore completely independent of the emulated environment. Recorded mouse and keyboard input is the basis for automatization of routines. Once recorded, they can be applied to as many digital objects of the same type as required. Reproducing work flows for opening digital objects with a certain application inside the emulated environment or the modification of settings before the emulated environment is ready to use are tasks to be tested and analyzed through the implementation of a sample usage scenario.

This work aims to define a structured model for evaluating SKOS vocabularies. The main Semantic Web technologies involved in this task, essentially RDF and SPARQL, are analyzed, along with the different elements, definitions and integrity conditions of SKOS recommendation. Several proposals of quantitative indicators and quality criteria for the evaluation of SKOS vocabularies are also studied. Furthermore, we pointed out SPARQL queries, steps and algorithms required to perform an appropriate analysis. The result is an evaluation model that incorporates metrics, normative requirements and quality criteria. This model organizes the analysis elements into a twofold classification: functional aspects and requirement levels. The proposed model is easy to apply for the development of analysis and validation services of SKOS vocabularies. New indicators and additional quality criteria can be added.

Résumé :
The objective of the research was to outline an understanding of Digital Inclusion – DI within Information Science – IS in Brazil. We analyzed the theses and dissertations on DI in this area dating from 2001 to 2009. The data collection instruments included surveys conducted at the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Bank and information science graduate programmes to identify the documents presented in the sub-area of DI, in addition to the analysis of the Lattes curricula of their researchers and semistructured interviews carried out with most of them. In the study of these documents, issues such as the profile of theses and dissertations that analyzed the DI on the IS have been explored; the thematic approach of each survey with its area of concentration and line of research; research issues and proposed objectives; the IS authors that approached DI and were cited in the theoretical reference; the methodology used in each research and the authors cited during the methodological approach. In the semistructured interviews, the researchers' opinion on DI was addressed; each one’s professional background and subsequent motivation to search DI; the reasons to study for a master's/ doctorate degree in IS, as well as the criteria for choosing the educational institution where they performed such studies; the research experience in IS as an area of knowledge; the effective contribution of IS for growth and improvement of DI; each researcher's awareness about other research already conducted on DI; the influence of the outcome of each research in implementing policies/ actions for DI; relations between the cybercafes, telecentres and DI; the contributions of research to the personal, professional and academic background of each interviewee; his view on the current situation of discussions on DI; how the dissemination of the research results was performed and the contribution of each study to the theoretical consolidation of DI in IS. The obtained results show that DI is understood as a result of actions which, with the input from ICTs, are able to contribute to the acquisition of information literacy by the party subject to these actions, enabling them to remedy in the long-term the unfavorable aspects from their social context, achieving their own well-being and their surrounding communities’. However, DI is unlikely to be implemented in its fullness, whether through public, private or third sector initiatives, without a redefinition of public policies in line with the social context where these political actions happen. The telecentre model discussed and presented in these studies is not convincing to elect him as the ideal for the achievement of the primary goal of DI that is social inclusion. Another aspect of paramount importance is the finding that libraries are, in detriment to the telecentres, the ideal locus for the development of any DI action. Only the creation and implementation of practical methodologies aimed at achieving information literacy of the subjects and the development of a model of social indicators encompassing all the steps to be attained, highlighting the social changes that can be attributed to the proposals, shall be able to transform ID into social inclusion. To achieve this purpose, we advise the construction of a complete portfolio of studies already carried out on DI in IS through institutional repository; the accurate and consistent definition of terms about DI adopted in the area; the complete description of data collection and analysis methods, contextualizing them in the environment where the research is conducted; new studies based on theoretical frameworks focused on IS as a knowledge area, albeit permeated by interdisciplinarity; the creation of an inter-institutional IS study group on DI; relational analyses between research conducted on DI in similar IS graduate programmes and the elaboration of a basic model for ID actions focusing on the subjects’ development of information literacy linked to the design of reliable diagnoses on these actions and their results.

Achievements in any transformation in libraries mostly depend on the positive attitude and involvement of the library professionals. It is significant to understand the human factors involved in the process for successful and meaningful commencing of IT in libraries. This study measured the attitude of university library professionals of Bangladesh toward IT. It identified how the socioeconomic variance influenced the attitude of library professionals to use of IT applications, and also examined how the experience with IT has influenced on these attitudes. It illustrated that some socioeconomic variables influenced library professionals' attitude. There were disparity among library professionals who have experience to competency, work performance, anxiety and acceptance. To accelerate the positive attitude, highest priority should be given on the continuing education of library professionals. Top management’s positive attitude and comfort levels toward technology will help the mid and entry level professionals to be skillful at creative applications of IT. The analyses should help the policy maker to improve the IT competencies of the library professionals.

A usability evaluation was carried out of the recently-launched South London and Maudsley NHS Trust library web site using a variety of standard methodologies: content and design evaluation of selected comparable sites, focus groups, a questionnaire survey of library and web development staff, heuristic evaluation, observation testing, card sorting/cluster analysis, and label intuitiveness/category membership testing. All test participants were staff of or providers of services to the trust. Demographic information was recorded for each participant. Unsuccessful attempts were made to evaluate user feedback, and to compare usability test results with usage statistics. Test participants’ overall responses to the site were enthusiastic and favourable, indicating the scope and content of the site to be broadly appropriate to the user group. Numerous suggestions for new content areas were made by testers. Usability problems were discovered in two main areas: in the organisation of the site, and in the terminology used to refer to information services and sources. On the basis of test results, proposals for a revised menu structure, improved accessibility, and changes to the terminology used within the site are presented.

Résumé :
Due to their intangible nature, digital resources are particularly complex to promote and enhance in a library. Although essential, the development of specific and federated reporting tools common to all documentation, digital or paper, can not be an end in itself. Many readers see the library as a privileged place, embodied and travelled by their daily lives. Hence the need to also consider the value of these resources from the physical space of the library. The rise of e-books, the diversification of new digital reading devices as well as the emergence of new technological tools dedicated to interfacing material objects and the Internet favour such an approach, which may contribute further to the better integration of digital resources within the library as a whole.

Résumé :
In the 2003, the Diffusion Service of the Intellectual Creation was created (SEDICI) as an Institutional Repository (IR) of the National University of La Plata (UNLP) supported by the development of an own software called Celsius DL. At the end of 2011 a study to migrate to another more actualize software was done and DSpace was selected, the most used software platform of IR in the world. The process of migration from Celsius DL to DSpace finished in 2012. DSpace allowed new functionalities, flexibility in the strategic changes by the repository managers, and some modifications in the institutional image without affecting the logic of the repository and widen the management of the typologies of the accepted resources. DSpace, as other platforms, has some limitations in relation to the Representation of the Resources, which consists on the process of registering in a persisting way a set of data as a synthesis and substitution of the “real” object to identify it, recover it and distribute it, such a situation was one of the main problems presented in the transition of Celsius DL to DSpace. This research focused on describing the Representation of Resources problem in the SEDICI Institutional Repository and showing a possible solution, all under a Model- Driven approach. The study object – The Representation of Resources- is a recurrent problem that has been studied for some authors in other parts of the world: Malizia (2010), Paganelli (2005), Gonçalves (2004), Fox (2004), Candela (2007), among others. However, the analyzed papers address the topic in a general way, they don´t take into consideration the resource as a core idea. The development of a referential framework that allows the improvement of functionalities from the design of a flexible model according to the representation of resources was suggested, under the context of SEDICI, but re-used in other repositories. Such proposal is related to the elements of a repository: resources, metadata schemes, storage and cataloging, and with the following functional processes according to the storage material and the ISO norm 14721: ingest, storage, cataloging, indexing, search engine, and browsing. To achieve it, a bibliographic analysis of the topic was done, the pattern of construction of the software Model-Driven was selected to implement the solution, and different conceptual models and models of data were analyzed to build a referential framework that supports the proposed model associated to the ISO norm 14721. The pattern of Model- Driven Development (MDD) is a construction of software approach that assigns a central role to the models with prototypes that go from the most abstract ones to the most concrete ones. This pattern, besides, provides an environment that allows the interested persons to share their points of view and manipulate the representation of the domain entities. That is why in the research proposal, the referential framework was organized in 5 modules or phases starting from the Model- Driven approach: DSL to the development of the flexible model, transformation of the flexible model to a relational prototype, transformation of the relational model to a script SQL to the creation of a data base, mapping the DSpace-SEDICI resources to the created data base, and the development of an application in WebRatio to the visualization and exportation of the resources. This research gave response to the considered objective and tied premises from tree disciplines: The information sciences, documental sciences and computer sciences. To braid together such areas in a proposal related to institutional repositories represented a contribution in an area with lacks of literature.

Résumé :
The exponential growth of online information, the increase in new forms and media, and the high prominence of the consumer user and producer of information on the Web, have caused a saturation in the consumption of information by people. Heterogeneous views arise on the same phenomenon, coming from different disciplines that approach it developing different theories depending on their objects of study and fields of application. In the library context, content curation refers to the filtering of digital content found on the Web, its organization and making it available to be shared with a specific community. The work that is presented investigates this new concept, which entails new practices in library services, particularly in the field of libraries of the UNLP at the level of faculties. The practices, methodologies used in the content curation process, the use of online tools and services, the types of content and the added value that libraries can apply when offering digital content on the Web are analyzed. To carry out the study, interviews with the staff and observation of library websites were used as methodological tools. As the main result of the research, it can be said that the UNLP libraries perform tasks associated with curating content and recognize it as a new process or task; however, they have not yet developed methodological and formal aspects in the tasks of selecting and processing digital content online, nor are they aware of or exploit the wide range of online tools to carry out content curation. On the other hand, libraries do not consider the diversity of ways in which information is presented online. This marks the need to promote professional training in this regard, a fact that will, in turn, result in a greater provision of services related to the management of digital content.

Résumé :
This paper addresses the following topics related to Turkish - European Union (EU) librarianship; the political background of relations between Turkey and the EU, work related to the information society within the EU and its influence on library and information services, development plans, policies, and projects in culture, education and science on the above mentioned fields in the EU, work related to the information society within Turkey, the main developments in library and information services, development plans and science policies, and projects which will enhance the adaptability of Turkey in its accession period to the EU. Policy initiatives issued by the European Union provide useful insights into the ways in which improvements in Turkish libraries may be realized. Although some efforts have been made to enhance the status of libraries according to development plans as well as cultural and science policies, these initiatives still fall short of those enjoyed by many libraries in the European Union.

Résumé :
The electronic information sources have become an integral part of the library services and they have a crucial role to play in the higher education. Undergraduate students depend their studies on electronic sources. However, electronic information sources cannot be used effectively without the necessary training by the library. The right instruction should be given to students on how each electronic source should be used. The evaluation of the information electronic sources though a survey on the students´ opinion is of equal importance. The survey can help the library to find the real educational needs of the students as regards the electronic sources, to discover any possible weaknesses in the whole process and to improve its electronic services.
