Examining Information Literacy in Academic Libraries by Chizwina, Sabelo,Moyo, Mathew Pdf

In the 21st century, information literacy emerges as the cornerstone of educational development. Despite its paramount significance, a stark reality persists — students often traverse the corridors of academia without acquiring essential information literacy skills. This deficiency is exacerbated by a shortage of faculty training, leaving academic libraries to shoulder the responsibility of cultivating information-savvy individuals. Examining Information Literacy in Academic Libraries delves into the core challenges and solutions surrounding this critical educational imperative. This book illuminates the role of academic libraries as bastions of information literacy instruction. The capacity of students and information consumers to seek, evaluate, and utilize information is paramount for informed decision-making ethically and legally. Regardless of whether or not students were brought up in the digital age, many lack the fundamental information literacy skills required for higher education. This deficiency manifests in academic malpractices, such as plagiarism, which compromise the integrity of educational institutions. Moreover, this imperative work contends that the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is not a distant concept but a present reality. The recent global upheaval caused by the Coronavirus pandemic accelerated the adoption of new technologies, necessitating a swift reassessment of our collective ability to navigate this everchanging digital and information landscape. Focusing on media literacy, data literacy, and digital literacy, with information literacy as the overarching domain, this book serves as a beacon for educators, librarians, and policymakers.

A Handbook On Multidisciplinary Approaches In Research (Volume-1) by Er. Sandeep Bishla,Dr. Sahab Ram Kumawat Pdf

This chapter has a dual purpose. In the first place, the authors provide a real-world example of interdisciplinary research by discussing the two chapter examples they worked on while editing a book full of multidisciplinary cases. The authors’ purpose is to provide a realistic picture of how the theoretical aim of interdisciplinary research might be realised in practise, in contrast to the numerous theoretical descriptions that have been published on the topic. The author gives the present conceptual understanding of the multidisciplinary before elaborating on the practical use of these ideas in light of the common restrictions that many academics encounter today while undertaking cooperative research. The book provides suggestions on how to improve cross-disciplinary work in the future and share their own experiences conducting interdisciplinary studies. Students’ expectations about their own Internet & computer skills and their capacity to complete online courses are explored in this book with research on online education self-efficacy. The relevance of culture in the workplace is shown by the fact that several studies have examined the connection between business culture and factors like productivity and lifespan. As well as having a significant impact on a broad variety of organisational processes, employees, & performance, it has long been seen as a critical component in integrating the various business cultures within corporate group organisation. This book aims to chart the history of the electrochemical science from its inception as a separate discipline to the present day.

Information Cultures in the Digital Age by Matthew Kelly,Jared Bielby Pdf

For several decades Rafael Capurro has been at the forefront of defining the relationship between information and modernity through both phenomenological and ethical formulations. In exploring both of these themes Capurro has re-vivified the transcultural and intercultural expressions of how we bring an understanding of information to bear on scientific knowledge production and intermediation. Capurro has long stressed the need to look deeply into how we contextualize the information problems that scientific society creates for us and to re-incorporate a pragmatic dimension into our response that provides a balance to the cognitive turn in information science. With contributions from 35 scholars from 15 countries, Information Cultures in the Digital Age focuses on the culture and philosophy of information, information ethics, the relationship of information to message, the historic and semiotic understanding of information, the relationship of information to power and the future of information education. This Festschrift seeks to celebrate Rafael Capurro’s important contribution to a global dialogue on how information conceptualisation, use and technology impact human culture and the ethical questions that arise from this dynamic relationship.

Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Research: Emerging Paradigms by Dr. Santosh Dhar,Dr. Upinder Dhar,Dr. Pragya Jaroliya Pdf

Multidisciplinary approach in research is very much in vogue these days to address the problems of the society. It involves drawing appropriately from multiple disciplines to explore problems outside the normal boundaries and reach out to solutions addressed through different perspectives. Modern research looks through more multidisciplinary approaches and has dominance of problem solving and project oriented applied research. Multidisciplinary approaches while aiming at achieving a common goal attempts to develop answers to complex questions, which a single discipline is unable to handle. The growing research canon is to apply knowledge of various disciplines for the solution. Since current problems are of complex nature, there is a need to have knowledge of all the aspects such as economic, social, political and psychological. Multi-disciplinary approaches call for collaboration between two or more disciplines on a research project, while each discipline maintaining its assumptions, values, and methods.

Theories of Information, Communication and Knowledge by Fidelia Ibekwe-SanJuan,Thomas M Dousa Pdf

This book addresses some of the key questions that scientists have been asking themselves for centuries: what is knowledge? What is information? How do we know that we know something? How do we construct meaning from the perceptions of things? Although no consensus exists on a common definition of the concepts of information and communication, few can reject the hypothesis that information – whether perceived as « object » or as « process » - is a pre-condition for knowledge. Epistemology is the study of how we know things (anglophone meaning) or the study of how scientific knowledge is arrived at and validated (francophone conception). To adopt an epistemological stance is to commit oneself to render an account of what constitutes knowledge or in procedural terms, to render an account of when one can claim to know something. An epistemological theory imposes constraints on the interpretation of human cognitive interaction with the world. It goes without saying that different epistemological theories will have more or less restrictive criteria to distinguish what constitutes knowledge from what is not. If information is a pre-condition for knowledge acquisition, giving an account of how knowledge is acquired should impact our comprehension of information and communication as concepts. While a lot has been written on the definition of these concepts, less research has attempted to establish explicit links between differing theoretical conceptions of these concepts and the underlying epistemological stances. This is what this volume attempts to do. It offers a multidisciplinary exploration of information and communication as perceived in different disciplines and how those perceptions affect theories of knowledge.
