Information and Behaviour
Some insights into Library and Information Science
Uxcamp Europe 2010
Here is my plan
• What do we do?• What is the digital divide?• What is information literacy and what does
that signifie?• Plagiarism – a seious problem• Why should I care? – Enterprise 2.0
What do we do?
• Library and Information Science has little to do with books
• We study the collection (i.e. databases), the retrieval (i.e. search algorithms) and storage of information (i.e. long term preservation)
Digital Divide
Domestic Divide: http://www.hearusnow.org/other/6/3/itsonlyfairallamericansshouldhaveaccesstotheinternet/
Information Literacy

Information literacy
• "To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."American Library Association / Presidential Committee on Information Literacy: Final Report, Washington D.C. 10.1.1989
What do users not know
• Lack of information about the medium Internet (structure, browsers, site-iternal search tools etc.)
• Lack of information about terms (i.e. plug-in, server, ica-client)
• Lack of knowledge about buttons and icons (help symbols)
• Lack of knowledge about processes (i.e. flash installation)
Plagiarism
• serious problem• More cases in universities• Complete lack of understanding why it is a
problem• My case@publisher: 1 of 10 submitted
manuscripts is plagiarism
Why should we care?
• Students produce in public (in wikis, in blogs)• http://www.matti-stoehr.ddrs.de/?p=25• http://bildungundgutesleben.blogsome.com/
• Company versus private knowledge• Sharing vs keeping
