Storage and retrieval of e-mail in a business environment: An exploratory guide

Executives recognize the value of maintaining access to information. More managers filter their own e-mail rather than have assistants do this task. Organizing and storing data for future use are left to the personal preference of the individual manager. Is this in the best interest of the organization? Are data being stored in a manner causing them to be irretrievable in the future? Are irrelevant data being stored? This study investigates the strategies used to store and retrieve e-mail. The results revealed that the primary search strategy was a reliance on memory. The labels assigned to the e-mail folders triggered the user's memory. Although, in the short term, memory is sufficient for organizing and retrieving information, the lack of transferability and preservation of this information poses a danger. The association between the electronic file label and the stored information is unique to the manager and may lead to inaccessibility of relevant corporate knowledge in the future.     

中文知识组织系统形式化语义描述标准体系研究(二)——分类法共享服务系统CLSS研究与实现

本文旨在为国内外分类法拥有者快速实现现有分类法的Web版、Web Service术语服务、Linked Data化和自动分类等网络共享服务提供参考和支持。以《中国图书馆分类法》第四版为例,采用CNKOS对分类法进行语义化描述,使用Lucene全文检索引擎、Ext Js插件、Axis SOAP引擎和URL Rewrite等关键技术实现了分类法共享服务(CLSS)原型系统。经验证明所有功能模块运行和调用都符合预期效果。实践证明该套解决方案可投入使用,而且其他分类法类型的中文知识组织系统均可依此方法快速完成相应的部署。但是,对于部分复杂的自动分类需求,如要获得更为准确的分类号还需更深入的研究或人工辅助。图5。表4。参考文献21。     

A Phrase Well Turned: Creative Facility in Narrative Production

It is commonly recognized that messages are simultaneously patterned and creative, but studies of message production have tended to focus on repetitive features of messages, to the relative exclusion of examination of their novel characteristics. This study is concerned with creative facility—the ability readily to construct novel, appropriate messages. In order to investigate this phenomenon, subjects produced a series of simple SITUATION-ACTION-BECAUSE narratives and also completed measures of speed of information processing (Digit-Symbol Substitution Test, DSST), cognitive tempo (Matching Familiar Figures Test, MFFT), and need for cognitive structure (Personal Need for Structure scale, PNS). Results indicate each of these measures was related to the speed with which participants were able to formulate their narratives. Moreover, the impact of both cognitive tempo, assessed as number of errors on the MFFT, and need for cognitive structure was heightened under more cognitively demanding message-production conditions. Implications of these results and suggestions for future research are discussed.     

Personal records on the web: Who's in charge of archiving, Hotmail or archivists?

This examination of how the general public uses commercially provided e-mail and blog services to keep their personal documents and history supports exploration into how information professionals can assist the general public in archiving their data, with a view to preservation for future generations and historians. An online survey was conducted to gather data on the current status of e-mail and blog usage, users’ perceptions on archiving their contents in e-mail and blogs, and the expectations for and functionalities of archiving tools users find useful or necessary. A total of 345 e-mail and blog users participated in the survey. Participants were found to be well aware of the risk of losing their content in e-mail and blogs, and of the fact that most e-mail and blog services do not provide any method of backing up content. Participants valued the content related to their personal history highly and would have liked to have it preserved; however, they had not located many acceptable tools for preservation. Despite this, information professionals have not been actively engaged in meeting such users' needs.

Traditional knowledge management and preservation: Intersections with Library and Information Science

The African proverb “When an elder dies, a library burns down” clearly sums up the importance of traditional knowledge preservation and cultural continuity, which the study found to be a key need and concern amongst First Nations communities in Ontario, Canada. To follow-up on elders’ suggestions that libraries are potential custodians of traditional knowledge, this paper explores how traditional knowledge preservation intersects with Library and Information Science (LIS) practices of knowledge classification, organization, and dissemination and establishes the various challenges that this intersection poses to these LIS practices. The paper concludes that libraries and other information institutions need to re-examine and reconstruct themselves in ways that take into account non-western epistemologies and worldviews and develop much needed cultural competency in order to undertake traditional knowledge custodianship.     

知识元理论研究述评

[目的/意义] 知识元作为知识的基本组分,是知识在微观领域的存在形态。对知识构成组分问题的研究体现了人类对知识认识的深化,是人类对知识认识的必然趋势。因此,对知识元及其运动规律的研究具有重要的理论价值。[方法/过程] 首先从学科史角度对知识基本组分相关学说和知识元理论研究的现状进行梳理和分析;在此基础上归纳总结知识元理论研究中存在的问题;最后论述知识元理论研究的未来走向。[结果/结论] 当前知识元理论研究存在以下问题：概念界定模糊、类型划分存在歧义、基于知识元的知识表达尚存在较大难度、相关研究尚未深入到知识的本质与运动规律。同时认为从多学科交叉视角开展知识元理论探析,将成为今后重要的趋势。如哲学与认知科学相结合的知识论视角、语言学与计算机科学相结合的知识发现与挖掘视角、知识工程与图书馆学相结合的知识表示研究视角、图书情报学科与出版学科相结合的知识组织研究视角等。     

从图书馆的角度看信息组织和知识组织

图书馆是一个为信息资源建立检索点,并为用户提供服务的机构。立足于此,应明确几个问题:信息组织实是信息资源的组织,分类标引不是信息组织的全部;图书馆的知识组织主要研究知识分类,图书馆的知识组织不是知识组织的全部。图书馆大可不必为自己的信息资源组织工作而妄自菲薄。表3。参考文献18。     

用传统分类表与叙词表编制Taxonomy 的理论可行性研究

Taxonomy概念可以理解为一个用于支持浏览功能的、基于某一特定环境或领域的概念等级体系。它由等级结构和主题词两个基本元素组成,在形式上结合了分类法和叙词表的特点,为用传统分类法和叙词表编制Taxonomy提供了理论可能性。但由于分类法、叙词表和Taxonomy在性质与功能上均有不同之处,在利用传统分类法和叙词表编制Taxonomy过程中会遇到一些问题,首先,分类法和叙词表在主题范覆盖范围方面可能满足不了Taxonomy的要求;其次,分类法和叙词表的两个基本元素,等级结构和主题词在多大程度上可被利用,有待进一步实证。另外,如何将环境因素结合到Taxonomy类表中,是个有待补充的问题。     

面向数据网络的信息组织演变发展

数据与数据之间通过富含语义链接的方式形成了有价值的数据网络,在以语义网为核心的网络架构中,网络资源的语义化结构、细粒度描述、数据关联等特性对数据加工及利用提出了新的挑战,信息组织的处理对象及外延发生着变化,信息组织工具不断丰富且功能趋于统一。本文依据信息组织的不同功能和处理流程可以将其细分为资源层、元数据记录层、词表层,分别对各个层次的特点、变化及其未来发展进行分析,认为从文本中准确提取出反映语义含义的特征项是当前信息组织的关键问题,元数据集、知识组织系统成为词表的主要构成,知识组织系统呈现出描述对象概念化、语义关系多样化、描述语言形式化、数据开放关联性四大特点。图3。参考文献23。

SNS use by the Korean government: a case of Me2Day

This study examines the debates and discussions surrounding the Korean government's Me2Day, the largest social networking and microblogging site in the country used by 26 government bureaus, including the Blue House. Me2Day users post messages composed of up to 150 characters and establish links with other users through multimedia-based information and knowledge obtained from their browsers, desktop computers, e-mail messages, and mobile phones. This study provides a better understanding of the characteristics and structures of cyberspace communication between the Korean government and citizens. The results indicate that although each bureau had different goals in terms of using Me2Day, users were more likely to use the service if their bureau actively posted messages or responded to user comments. Users tended to have critical attitudes toward the Korean government when they were allowed to freely post messages and share information.     

An experimental study of certain physiological,introspective and rating‐scale techniques for the measurement of stage fright

After a review of the research on compliance‐gaining strategies, it was decided that deductive approaches toward the development of a taxonomy of compliance‐gaining strategies are limited because of epistemological and methodological problems. Instead of a deductive approach, the paper proposes that an inductively‐derived taxonomy is a more valid and reliable classification scheme of compliance‐gaining strategies. The paper therefore attempts to ascertain the representational validity of a particular inductively‐derived taxonomy of compliance‐gaining strategies. The assessment of the representational validity was accomplished by comparing proposed properties of the taxonomy with a multidimensional scaling representation of subjects’ perceptions of persuasive messages. The comparison indicated that the taxonomy had a high degree of representational validity. Finally, it was suggested that future research should focus on the dynamics of the properties of compliance‐gaining strategies.     

A New Scheme for Library Classification

ABSTRACT

This proposed new classification scheme is based on two main elements: hierarchism and binary theory. Hence, it is called Universal Binary Classification (UBC). Some advantages of this classification are highlighted including subject heading development, construction of a thesaurus, and all terms with meaningful features arranged in tabular form that can help researchers, through a semantic process, to find what they need. This classification scheme is fully consistent with the classification of knowledge. The classification of knowledge is also based on hierarchism and binary principle. Finally, a survey on randomly selected books in McLennan Library of McGill University is presented to compare the codes of this new classification with the currently employed Library of Congress Classification (LCC) numbers in the discipline of Library and Information Sciences.     

Paradoxes of Strategic Renewal in Traditional Print-Oriented Media Firms

This article continues and extends the emerging scholarship of strategic media management by examining the day-to-day challenges that media managers face when managing strategic renewal in traditional print-oriented media firms. The aim, in particular, is to shed light on the tensions and paradoxical situations that middle managers need to deal with in contexts where taken-for-granted industry recipes and well-established business practices have become problematized as a result of industry-wide technological and cultural change. Based on an empirical case study, the article identifies and elaborates on three interconnected paradoxes, rooted in the history of the company and past decisions of its top-management: (1) balancing employees’ needs for stability with organizational needs for change; (2) bridging employees’ needs for security and tradition and the organizational need for learning and taking risks; as well as (3) reconciling employees’ needs to “focus on themselves” with organizational needs to collaborate for collective success. Theoretically, the article contributes to the literature by working toward a new paradox perspective on managing strategic renewal in media organizations. This theoretical perspective is offered as an interpretive framework for empirically exploring and critically examining the dynamics and complexities of strategic media management in the continuously changing business environments of the industry.

Communication and our environment: Categorizing research in environmental advocacy

Marketplace advocacy campaigns often arise in response to burgeoning societal concerns, especially those faced by energy industries. These campaigns may be launched by a single sponsor or by an industry trade group representing the collective interests of the industry sector. Using focus groups, this research explored how lay audiences with little knowledge of the topic being advocated responded to similar energy-focused marketplace advocacy messages when presented by a corporation versus an industry trade group, research which has potentially significant implications for how corporations allocate communication resources as well as for environmental groups attempting to combat certain industry initiatives. Specifically, this study explored audience response to marketplace advocacy messages when communicated via a corporation versus an industry trade group in two common contexts: (1) ads designed to build support for an industry category and (2) ads designed to build support for a specific, controversial industry initiative. Findings were analyzed through theoretical frameworks in persuasion knowledge and attribution theory. A model is introduced that integrates these perceptions and highlights the study's key findings.     

对“BO哲学理论”类目及其下位类设置的思考

《中国图书馆分类法》(以下简称《中图法》)的"B0哲学理论"类目及其下位类从第1版到第5版进行了多次修订,其中《中图法》(第5版)在《中图法》(第4版)的基础上只修订了1处,但是从类目使用次数、集中与分散、读者需求等角度分析可以发现,有关马克思主义哲学和辩证唯物主义等类目的设置仍存在有待改进的地方。《中图法》的类目设置应考虑文献保证原则和读者需求,这有利于避免分类法的庞大化和复杂化,方便读者快速有效地检索文献,其编制原则应突出"读者需求",     

法律图书分类体系完善研究

<中国图书馆分类法>中法律图书分类体系已经不能适应法学的发展对图书分类的需要.应编制一套较为科学合理的、国内通用的法律图书分类体系,取代现有的D9体系,并终止两种体系并存的局面.法律类图书应作为一个大类,以DF为代码单独立类,以反映当代学科体系中法律与政治已经成为两个相对独立的学科这一现实.法律图书分类体系中基本类目的设置和类目详表也严重落后于当代法学的发展,存在较大的完善空间.
