I dentifying Core Competencies for Records Management and Information Governance Professionals: A Job Advertisement A nalysis
Authors: Jin Tao , McLain Wendy 
Published: August 2019

Records and information management (RIM) has been well needed in both public and private sectors for decades. The recent progression toward enterprise wide information governance (IG) provides a good example of RIM's fast-pacedevolution. However, what should those being hired for a RIM/IG position know? What other qualities should they bring to the job in order to survive and thrive? Unfortunately, there is a dearth of empirical research that addresses these concerns. This proposed poster will report an on-going project that aims to identify core competencies for this group of informationprofessionals by using a job advertisement content analysis approach.
Expert Advisory Groups: Exploring the Sensemaking Proces s During a Public Health C risis R esponse
Authors: Seto Iva , Johnstone David , Campbell-Meier Jennifer 
Published: August 2019

In a public health crisis, experts (such as epidemiologists, public health officers, physicians and virologists) support key decision makers with advice in a highly dynamic, pressured, and time-sensitive context. Experts must process information (to provide advice) as quickly as possible, yet this must be balanced with ensuring the information is credible, reliable, and relevant. When an unexpected event occurs, it may lead to a gap between what is experienced and what was expected; sensemaking is a meaning creation process which is engaged to fill the gap. This research explores how experts engage in sensemaking during a public health crisis.
Information Overload, Stress, and Burnout: The Need for Contemplative Approaches in LIS
Authors: Piyati Ajit 
Published: August 2019

The information age, despite its undeniable opportunities and benefits, is also rife with stress, information overload, and anxiety. Given this context, LIS unfortunately remains largely silent about these affective concerns. One way to address these concerns is for LIS to embrace contemplative approaches as a mode of inquiry. As such, the paper offers a preliminary sketch of a “contemplative LIS” to allow LIS scholars and professionals to more effectively address issues such as overload and burnout. This exploration is based on the following four themes: 1) Attention; 2) Relationships; 3) Reflection; and 4) Action.

Review and Revision of Library and Information Science Curriculum in a South African University and the Usage of Follow-Up Study and Advertisement Scanning Methods
Authors: Ocholla Dennis N 
Published: August 2019

Two methods for curriculum review and revision are used to review and revise the Library and Information (LIS) curriculum at the University of Zululand, South Africa. Firstly, as an exercise in product analysis, a case study of the graduates of the University of Zululand between 1996 and 1999 was conducted. Graduates were traced to their current places of employment and interviewed together with their employers in order to determine whether the knowledge, skills and attitudes gained during training were adequate for their current job requirements. Secondly, a market-type analysis was conducted by scanning job advertisements in the field of library and information science appearing in a popular national weekly newspaper over a period of three years. Details regarding date and location of advertisement, type of employer, job details and job specifications and requirements in terms of qualifications, experience, knowledge, skills and attitudes were captured from this source and analysed. Whereas the aforementioned two methods still enjoy popularity, arguably, they alone do not necessarily provide an accurate picture of the demand and supply matrix that can enhance effective and beneficial LIS education for service and employability of graduates. Evidently, the public sector and in particular the public and academic libraries, dominate this specific segment of the employment market in South Africa. Sound education in the fields of management, information and communication technologies, information searching, analysis and synthesis, as well as the ability to perform practical work is regarded as essential. The use of the aforementioned two methods exploits techniques which play a crucial verification role and which effectively supplement other methods such as reviewing existing curriculum and literature, consulting with colleagues and observing national and international trends as well as the focus-group method for academic programme development. Other intervening variables in the study are discussed. The paper addresses issues that can benefit theoretical and methodological issues in library and information science education and curriculum development.

Open and Secure Communication - EDI is not enough
Authors: Abdallah Thomas , Holbein Ralph , Scheidegger Patrick , Teufel Dr. Stephanie 
Published: August 2019

From the 1994 CAIS Conference:The Information Industry in TransitionMcGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.Information is becoming an important production factor. Businesses are being forced to communicate and exchange information with each other because of market pressures such as increased competition, the internationalization of markets, and specialization of production processes. To survive, businesses must streamline both in-house and external communications while at the same time ensuring the quality, timeliness, and availability of information. Information Technology (IT), in the form of open office communication systems, provides a means for supporting this exchange of information. These systems provide a means for hardware- and software-independent communications within the organization as well as communication between organizations. Organizations depend on both the availability of information and the use of IT system. Together called as the electronic information interchange. Since information is primarily represented in the form of documents, open office communication relies on the use of document standards. This paper examines document standards focusing on the difference between loosely and highly structured information exchange and also the role of security which is an important issue for organizations depending on open eletronic information exchange.
A Retrieval Model for Common Textual Database Management Systems
Authors: Marcoux Yves 
Published: August 2019

From the 1994 CAIS Conference: The Information Industry in Transition McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.The social mission of information professionals is to provide society with high quality information storage and retrieval services. In order to fulfill this mission, the professionals need to have an understanding of the tools they use that is sufficiently thorough for predicting the behavior of these tools in all normal circumstances. One important class of tools used by information professionals are the textual database management systems (TDBMS's). At present, the retrieval capabilities of these systems are almost without excep- tion incompletely described, a situation which sometimes renders the accurate prediction of their behavior dicult. Thus, the quality of in- formation storage and retrieval services that the body of information professionals can provide society is not as high as it could be. To cor- rect this situation, the retrieval behavior of the TDBMS's available to information professionals must be precisely and exhaustively described. In other words, an abstract retrieval model has to be elaborated for them.In this paper, we present what we believe to be the ?rst formally de?ned abstract retrieval model especially designed for describing the retrieval behavior of common, everyday TDBMS’s. The model is rigorously de?ned and can be used as a basis for describing the retrieval behavior of most of the existing TDBMS’s that use boolean logic and so-called “repeating”values. . The process of modeling the retrieval behavior of TDBMS’s shows that the form of query expressions accepted by existing systems is fairly restricted, and suggests a possible (and easily implementable) generalization. We show that this generalization would not only allow the formulation of interesting and meaningful requests that are impossible (or very dif?cult) to formulate in the present systems, but would in fact grant logical completeness to retrieval languages, a form of completeness analogous to relational completeness in the relational model.
