Exploring new information habitats : the information specialist as guide in the e-research environment
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
A strategic focus of the Academic Information Service, University of Pretoria (AIS), is to develop and implement an effective Information Service for Research. The university’s mission statement states that it strives to be the leading research university in South Africa and the AIS would, therefore, play an important part in helping it to achieve this aim. The need to increase research output as well as obtaining an optimum postgraduate through-put rate is the foundation of this Research Strategy. A focus group was formed in 2004 to investigate all facets of such an information service for research, consisting of the leaders of 3 service units of the AIS, covering the Humanities, Natural Sciences/Agriculture and Engineering and the Built Environment, and Veterinary Science. Leading research universities were identified after consultation with other AIS leaders and considering information from the institutions’ web pages. Their library directors were contacted for their inputs. These included the University of Alberta and University of Calgary in Canada, and Sheffield University in the UK. Group discussions were held with Information Specialists and with a group of top researchers at the University of Pretoria to gain further insights. It became clear that the role of the Information Specialist and the competencies needed in the Information Service for Research focus would be a central feature of this project. Facets that were identified as being essential role players were: E-information developments, including building e-resource collections and the use of metadata for optimum retrieval Scholarly communication and e-research support IT support and skills Relationships, networking, communication and facilitation of knowledge networks (COPs/ Communities of Practice) Flexibility in an ever-changing information and research environment Training skills (both giving training and receiving training), not only in database searching but also in e-publishing and managing their own reference databases The findings of this focus group and developments based on these findings will be discussed, the implementation actions described and future plans mentioned. Introduction A strategic focus of the Academic Information Service, University of Pretoria (AIS) is to develop and implement an effective Information Service for Research. The university’s mission statement (1) states that it strives to be the leading research university in South Africa and the AIS would, therefore, play an important part in helping it to achieve this aim. The need to increase research output as well as obtaining an optimum postgraduate throughput rate is the foundation of this Research Strategy. A focus group, consisting of the leaders of 3 service units of the AIS, covering the Humanities, Natural Sciences/Agriculture and Engineering and the Built Environment, and Veterinary Science, was formed in 2004 to investigate all facets of such an information service for research. The traditional research process has been documented in the literature (2) as consisting of the following steps: • Planning the research • Literature survey • Formulating the research problem • Formulating the research design • Writing the research proposal • Writing the proposal for a research grant

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
