My personal reflection on information management as both a concept and a subject at university was highly informative for me on my journey as an LIS librarian.
This reflective assignment related to two ALIA core values:
Knowledge of the broad context of the
information environment, demonstrated by the ability to:
o
understand and interpret the contexts in which information is
originated, stored, organised, retrieved, disseminated and used;
o
comprehend the ethical, legal and policy issues that are
relevant to the sector;
o
envision future directions and negotiate alliances for library
and information sector development aligned with corporate, social and cultural
goals and values.
Information seeking, demonstrated by the
ability to:
o
understand and investigate how information is effectively sought
and utilised;
o
identify and investigate information needs and information
behaviour of individuals, community groups, organizations and businesses.
