Information Literacy in Higher Education: A Sociocultural Perspective (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Fabiola Cabra-Torres Gloria Patricia Marciales Vivas Harold Castañeda-Peña Jorge Winston Barbosa-Chacón Leonardo Melo González Oscar Gilberto Hernández SalamancaThis book presents an innovative theoretical and methodological approach to study information literacy in higher education contexts. While mainstream studies tend to see information literacy as a technical and universal process, this book proposes a theoretical and methodological framework to study information literacy from a sociocultural perspective, highlighting the importance of the social and cultural contexts in which information literacy develops.This situated approach demands that research data must be analysed in relation to the contexts in which they emerge, so the book proposes a research method based on the study of personal histories and stories, learning situations and intersubjective relationships to characterize the different information profiles of different information users. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach that combines contributions from educational research, psychology and information sciences, the authors first present a theoretical discussion to argue in favor of the sociocultural paradigm to study information literacy, then present their methodological proposal to observe informational competencies among higher education students, and finally present the results of an empirical study to identify different information literacy profiles among Latin American students and teachers.Breaking with the hegemonic paradigm in the field, Information Literacy in Higher Education – A Sociocultural Perspective provides useful and innovative tools to researchers working in different areas of the social sciences, such as education, psychology, linguistics and information sciences.

Information Management Capabilities in Public Safety and Security: Challenges, Strategies and Frameworks (Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications)
by Fraser Moffatt Brian RectorThis book provides thoughtful and extensively researched perspectives, to improve understanding of risks and rewards, and to outline strategies for developing and implementing mature information management capabilities focused on core public safety and security outcomes. Decision makers in Canadian public safety and security organizationslaw enforcement, fire and paramedic services, emergency management and national security, from local to national scopes and scales—are faced with an onslaught of rapidly changing technologies with uncertain application in an increasingly complex safety and security. How do these technologies fit into a strategic information management capability for public safety and security organizations? How do these technologies impact other areas of the organization? How can we harness these technologies to improve safety and security outcomes for Canadians? How would information governance strategy, governance and resourcing need to be structured and how would this function in the current operating environment and how would ethics, standards, privacy and information sharing and protection mechanisms need to be addressed in the face of compliance with legislation, regulation or policy? This volume makes the case for adopting strategic IM mindsets and practices intended to address a range of persistent IM challenges in public safety and security such as: building mature analytics and information sharing capabilities; building ethics, privacy, security and standards into IM governance aligned with public safety and security outcomes. The book is intended for senior decision makers in organizations that have responsibilities to delivery on core public safety and security outcomes and rely on information management to do so. These decision-makers face rapidly changing technologies in an increasingly complex business environment, face pressures for talent management and face risk-laden practices that impede or constrain the optimal use of information to achieve these outcomes for their organizations.

Information Modeling for Interoperable Dimensional Metrology
by Robert Brown Y Zhao T Kramer Xun XuDimensional metrology is an essential part of modern manufacturing technologies, but the basic theories and measurement methods are no longer sufficient for today's digitized systems. The information exchange between the software components of a dimensional metrology system not only costs a great deal of money, but also causes the entire system to lose data integrity. Information Modeling for Interoperable Dimensional Metrology analyzes interoperability issues in dimensional metrology systems and describes information modeling techniques. It discusses new approaches and data models for solving interoperability problems, as well as introducing process activities, existing and emerging data models, and the key technologies of dimensional metrology systems. Written for researchers in industry and academia, as well as advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, this book gives both an overview and an in-depth understanding of complete dimensional metrology systems. By covering in detail the theory and main content, techniques, and methods used in dimensional metrology systems, Information Modeling for Interoperable Dimensional Metrology enables readers to solve real-world dimensional measurement problems in modern dimensional metrology practices.
Information Modelling: A Pragmatic Approach
by Paul Beynon-DaviesThis textbook provides solid guidance on how to produce information models in practice. Information modeling has become increasingly relevant as an approach for understanding the active role that data plays within business and management and promoting the planning of business activities. The text promotes a practical approach to information modelling based around the analysis of communicative practice within delimited domains of organization. The book chapters are designed to be read in sequence. The early chapters build an account of information modelling from the bedrock of a theory of information situations. Later chapters discuss a number of practical issues concerned with the application of this business analysis and design technique. The conclusion demonstrates a larger context for the application and importance of information modelling. Numerous in-text examples of the concepts of information modelling and their application are included throughout the text. A separate chapter is devoted to a range of exercises which the reader can use to test understanding and application of the technique. An appendix with solutions is also provided to support learning. Overall, this textbook provides a step-by-step introduction to information modelling for use in undergraduate and postgraduate modules in information systems, computer science and even digitally focused modules within business and management. No prerequisite knowledge is assumed on the part of the reader. Students and practitioners are tutored in the development of information modelling from first principles. The book covers all the core principles of both entity-relationship diagramming and class diagramming – the two major approaches to information modelling.

Information Please
by Mark PosterInformation Please advances the ongoing critical project of the media scholar Mark Poster: theorizing the social and cultural effects of electronically mediated information. In this book Poster conceptualizes a new relation of humans to information machines, a relation that avoids privileging either the human or the machine but instead focuses on the structures of their interactions. Synthesizing a broad range of critical theory, he explores how texts, images, and sounds are made different when they are mediated by information machines, how this difference affects individuals as well as social and political formations, and how it creates opportunities for progressive change. Poster's critique develops through a series of lively studies. Analyzing the appearance of Sesame Street's Bert next to Osama Bin Laden in a New York Times news photo, he examines the political repercussions of this Internet "hoax" as well as the unlimited opportunities that Internet technology presents for the appropriation and alteration of information. He considers the implications of open-source licensing agreements, online personas, the sudden rise of and interest in identity theft, peer-to-peer file sharing, and more. Focusing explicitly on theory, he reflects on the limitations of critical concepts developed before the emergence of new media, particularly globally networked digital communications, and he argues that, contrary to the assertions of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, new media do not necessarily reproduce neoimperialisms. Urging a rethinking of assumptions ingrained during the dominance of broadcast media, Poster charts new directions for work on politics and digital culture.
Information Politics, Protests, and Human Rights in the Digital Age
by Mahmood MonshipouriWe live in a highly complex and evolving world that requires a fuller and deeper understanding of how modern technological tools, ideas, practices, and institutions interact, and how different societies adjust themselves to emerging realities of the digital age. This book conveys such issues with a fresh perspective and in a systematic and coherent way. While many studies have explained in depth the change in the aftermath of the unrests and uprisings throughout the world, they rarely mentioned the need for constructing new human rights norms and standards. This edited collection provides a balanced conceptual framework to demonstrate not only the power of autonomous communication networks but also their limits and the increasing setbacks they encounter in different contexts.
Information Processing and Accounting Standards: The COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Impact on Accounting Information Systems (Contributions to Finance and Accounting)
by Shame Mugova Joseph Olorunfemi Akande Oluwayemi IbukunOluwa OdularuThis book addresses challenges caused by COVID-19 crisis on financial reporting and information management systems. Information access, transmission and rapid changes in the operating environment revealed inadequacies of international financial reporting standards. Accounting and information are critical elements for business success. While accounting processes financial information and more often guided by standards, information sciences bothers on having access to the right information. Crisis overtime has exposed the weaknesses and/or limitations of these important ingredients of business. The recent pandemic created different challenges and revealed the inadequacies of several accounting and information systems processes. The dynamics of planned business restructuring activities introduced lots of considerations culminated to additional disclosure for business tax purposes. The volume combines perspectives and research from academics and practitioners from the industry on modifying accounting systems and processes to be resilient in and out of crisis. The chapters in the book highlight recommendations to standards and information system improvement.
