Down the library path Bernadette Bennett, Kerry Gittens, and Lynette Barker When you are working with like-minded people sometimes the planets align and between you clarity can be achieved. The Hunter region has always had a strong professional body of Teacher Librarians (TL), gathering in small groups by region, education sector, and at the annual MANTLE conference. In 2006, the Hunter's TLs at the local Diocesan schools formed a group to create a Diocesan Information Skills strategy and accompanying programming guide that would provide consistency across the Diocese. The NSW Department of Education and Training's Information Skills Process (ISP) was used as the basis for creating the guide. As time progressed, changes occurred that started a few of us thinking about the model: There was increasing discussion about Guided Inquiry and Inquiry models, with a focus on Inquiry in the incoming National Curriculum.

Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the cataloguing standard being introduced to replace Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, second edition (AACR2). National Library of Australia has announced that it will implement RDA in early 2013 (Australian Committee on Cataloguing n.d.). Cataloguing standards Catalogues have been a core part of a library’s activity for centuries, assisting individuals to locate information to suit their needs. AACR2 is the current standard for creating bibliographic descriptions and added entries. Need for change Along came computers, keyword searching and innovative and interactive ways to display search. Putting the user first RDA has been developed with a clear focus on helping users find, identify, select and obtain the information required. Records will become more understandable to the user, through a simplification of the rules in RDA. no more Latin abbreviation like et al. What now? References Renate Beilharz
Datos, información, conocimiento ¿En qué se diferencia el conocimiento de los datos y de la información? En una conversación informal, los tres términos suelen utilizarse indistintamente y esto puede llevar a una interpretación libre del concepto de conocimiento. Quizás la forma más sencilla de diferenciar los términos sea pensar que los datos están localizados en el mundo y el conocimiento está localizado en agentes de cualquier tipo (personas, empresas, máquinas...), mientras que la información adopta un papel mediador entre ambos. Los conceptos que se muestran a continuación se basan en las definiciones de Davenport y Prusak (1999). Datos Los datos son la mínima unidad semántica, y se corresponden con elementos primarios de información que por sí solos son irrelevantes como apoyo a la toma de decisiones. Un número telefónico o un nombre de una persona, por ejemplo, son datos que, sin un propósito, una utilidad o un contexto no sirven como base para apoyar la toma de una decisión.

15303.pdf The Librarian of the Future | Journal of the European Association for Health Information and Libraries Who do you think “Librarians of the Future” are? How would they behave and what would they look like? In my imagination they are like a space hero, a Flash Gordon-like figure with almost magical cyber librarian skills nobody ever had heard of. But hold on – many of us practice such skills already. Every time I listen to some of my colleagues from abroad I’m deeply astonished about the diversity of tasks they perform, the services they have invented, and the kind of non genuine library task they manage. Authority for tablet computers, e-book readers, and respective apps (medical as well as productive). The demand for such sophisticated tasks is extremely high and often faculty members regard librarians as skillful experts for many of these tasks, as the computer scientist Daniel Lemire noticed: So I think that librarians should move on to more difficult tasks. It is my sincere hope that librarians will always be open for such honorable expectations and never fail. References Like this:
Being a Better Online Reader Soon after Maryanne Wolf published “Proust and the Squid,” a history of the science and the development of the reading brain from antiquity to the twenty-first century, she began to receive letters from readers. Hundreds of them. While the backgrounds of the writers varied, a theme began to emerge: the more reading moved online, the less students seemed to understand. There were the architects who wrote to her about students who relied so heavily on ready digital information that they were unprepared to address basic problems onsite. Certainly, as we turn to online reading, the physiology of the reading process itself shifts; we don’t read the same way online as we do on paper. The screen, for one, seems to encourage more skimming behavior: when we scroll, we tend to read more quickly (and less deeply) than when we move sequentially from page to page. The online world, too, tends to exhaust our resources more quickly than the page. Wolf’s concerns go far beyond simple comprehension.
