Re-conceptualization of Knowledge Organization: Imperatives of Networked Resources and Digitization
Keywords:
Curriculum Reform, Knowledge Organization, Re-Conceptualization of IS CoursesAbstract
This paper calls for a review of curriculum in the area of knowledge organization to respond to the recent changes brought by digital information and introduction of networked resources. Rethinking and re-conceptualization of this area has become necessary. New topics need to be added and placed in different courses in the information studies programs (introductory/foundation; core/required; and electives/specialized courses) for a balanced approach. There is a need to change the mindset and expand the scope of knowledge organization from institutions to individuals as well as responsibilities of knowledge organization work to be extended from information professionals to authors, knowledge workers and information users. These courses need to be taught from a different context. Changes in curriculum and teaching methodology will make these courses more useful for professionals aspiring to work in modern information environments.
