A SUMMARY ON SELECTION AND APPRAISAL OF DATA

Image
A SUMMARY ON SELECTION AND APPRAISAL OF DATA Selection and appraisal of data are important activities in research data management and digital curation, because they help institutions to identify, preserve, and provide access to variable and reliable research information for future use. In digital curation, selection involves determining which datasets, digital records, or research materials should be retained, while appraisal refers to evaluating their long-term significance based on factors such as research value, originality, authenticity, legal requirements, ethical issues, and potential for reuse (Higgins, 2008). The continuous increase in digital research output, big data, and open science practices has made effective appraisal procedures more necessary in libraries, archives, and research institutions. Cox et...al. (2019) note that academic libraries are increasingly expected to support researchers throughout the research data lifecycle, including during the selection and app...

SUMMARY ON DATA COLLECTION AND REPOSITORIES

Image
  SUMMARY ON DATA COLLECTION AND REPOSITORIES Data collection and repositories are central components of effective research data management (RDM), ensuring that data is not only generated systematically but also preserved and made accessible for future use. Data collection refers to the structured process of gathering information through methods such as surveys, interviews, observations, or document analysis. In RDM, emphasis is placed on producing high-quality, reliable, and well-documented data. This includes the use of standardised procedures and tools, as well as the creation of metadata that describes the content, methodology, and structure of the data. Proper documentation enhances data integrity and enables reuse, which aligns with the FAIR principles ensuring that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (Wilkison et...al., 2016). The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Lifecycle Model highlights data collection within the “create or receive” stage, emphasi...

LECTURE-SUMMARY OF INFORMATION LITERACY MODELS AND THE BIG SIX INFORMATION SKILLS MODEL-BY Edna Kaliza MLIS0725

Image
Information literacy models are structured frameworks that guide individuals in recognizing information needs, locating relevant information, evaluating its quality, and using it effectively and ethically. These models support systematic information problem-solving and are widely applied in education, research, and professional practice. Common information literacy models emphasize critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and lifelong learning by breaking the information process into clear, manageable stages. They help learners move from uncertainty to informed decision-making while promoting responsible use of information. One of the most influential information literacy models is the Big Six Information Skills Model , developed by Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz in 1990 . The Big Six model is a practical, flexible, and problem-solving-oriented framework designed to integrate information literacy skills into learning tasks across disciplines. It views information literacy as a pr...

SUMMARY ON INFORMATION LITERACY, COMPETENCY STANDARDS, PERFORMANCE INDICATORS BY EDNA KALIZA MLIS0725

Image
  INFORMATION LITERACY Information literacy is the ability to recognise when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, and use that information efficiently. In today’s world which is marked by rapid technological changes and abundant information sources, information literacy has become increasingly important. People encounter large amounts of information from libraries, community resources, media and the internet, often unfiltered forms. This raises concerns about the authenticity, validity, and reliability of information. Information literacy is the foundation of lifelong learning and applies to all disciplines and levels of education. It helps learners to become self-directed, expand their knowledge, and manage their own learning. Information literacy skills encompass the essential abilities individuals need to recognise an information need, locate relevant sources, evaluate the quality and credibility of information, and use that information ethically to solve problem...

INFORMATION BEHAVIOUR: SHIFT FROM INFORMATION SYSTEM TO USERS- LECTURE SUMMARY BY EDNA KALIZA (MLIS0725)

Image
Traditionary, librarianship emphasized information systems-the tools, database and catalogue used to organise, store, and retrieve library materials like books, journals, and magazine. Success was measured by how efficiently these systems managed to hold large information collections. The focus was primarily on information resources, not on the users themselves. Earlier research in information behaviour also centered on the content and carriers of information such as books and journals, examining how materials were stored and used, rather than why or how individuals sought information. However, starting in the 1970s, there was a shift towards user-centered librarianship. Researchers began to study users’ information needs and behaviours, exploring: ·          What motivates users to seek information ·          What kind of resources they prefer ·          What devices ...
