Objectives Students are arguably one of the most-researched populations, including in the context of information literacy (IL). However there is significantly less research on Ph.D. students. Nevertheless, the information competences of doctoral students are crucial factors that impact the efficiency and validity of their research and future career prospects. We will discuss the development of […]
Our intention will be to present a proposal for defining and concretising both the processes of experiencing information and the formation of information culture in interdisciplinary and methodological terms. The aim of our deliberations will be to point out the potential of a multifaceted and diverse understanding, investigation and conceptual construction of human information activities
Discussing the impacts of COVID19 pandemic requires both critical and reflective thinking. One approach is to introduce the idea of digital maturity (Dwivedi et al, 2020). This implies that a strategy must be developed in such a way to deal with complexity and a hybrid thinking. This approach might enable us to create the digital
Our contribution aims to summarise the results of evaluating information literacy instruction focusing on plagiarism prevention and appropriate work with scientific information sources using the HUMAN framework. A team from Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt presented this frameworkat ECIL 2021 (Baldarelli et al., 2022) as a tool for developing the information literacy competencies of German engineering students.
One of the key questions of information literacy instruction is tailoring the content of sessions to the students’ needs and interests. While we can get information from the faculty members, we rarely hear from the students themselves. In this study I aim to contribute to filling this gap. This case study is situated in an
In today’s healthcare there is a strong focus on evidence-based scientific information. The evidence-based movement states that healthcare should be based on scientific research. Hospital librarians have a role as key actors when it comes to facilitating information seeking and use of scientific evidence within healthcare (Chaturvedi, 2017; Egeland, 2015). In recent years, with demands
Background & Objectives A turquoise organization is a concept crafted by Belgian business practitioner Frédéric Laloux. It is a rarely implemented, high maturity demanding model based on three pillars: sense of mission; wholeness of humanity; self-management (Bartosiewicz, 2017; Laloux, 2014; Tabaszewska-Zajbert & Sokołowska-Durkalec, 2019; Wasiluk, 2022). Accumulating information and collective transforming it into knowledge is
Objectives Across the globe, competencies that facilitate critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and fluency with digital tools that support these competencies, top the inventories of employability skills (Klegeris, 2021; Matuszewska-Kubicz, 2021). Humanities and social science (HSS) programs appear to generate effective employees for the growing business services sector (BSS), which seeks job candidates with interpersonal and
Since the availability of the chatbot ChatGPT in 2022, there has been a heated discussion, especially in didactics and media education science, about what conclusions should be drawn (Baidoo-Anu & Owusu Ansah, 2023) from letting students complete tasks through the chatbot. In this paper, we will turn this idea ethically. Namely, not only the writer’s
In this article I provided a framework for the discussion of ethical repercussions of concepts and technologies created or used in information sciences upon animal life. The information super highway (the internet) made the dissemination of “content” on all possible topics easily accessible. These new “informational liberties” opened the way for various interdisciplinary research avenues
