Engineering software engineering teams
This paper presents novel ideas for understanding how software engineering teams communicate and coordinate. We utilize these ideas to understand how these teams should be constructed and what individuals and managers can do to ensure that teams perform at high levels. Our view is based on numerous observations and interactions with enterprise software engineering teams and influenced by economic models of information sharing. We propose that neither a fully top-down nor bottom-up approach is entirely suitable for teams; rather teams must be cognizant of this issue and work to embrace both models of information flow. This, in turn, can be facilitated by the role of intercessor who seeks to properly guide, direct, and curate both top-down and bottom-up information flows.

Information Science as Knowledge Translation
Information science as knowledge translation
Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science
In the medical field, knowledge translation is the process of putting research findings into action for patient education, practitioners’ use and further research. It is a method of codifying what has been learned through research to improve communication within the professional community. The same view of knowledge sharing may be applied to library and information science (LIS). But the LIS community has been slow to adopt and implement our own research, to gain practical value by translating theory to knowledge. Greater attention should be paid to communication within the professional community to ensure the effective spread and use of knowledge gleaned from information science research. Just as medical informatics serves knowledge transfer in the field of medicine, exploring community informatics could shed light on how other disciplines, including LIS, translate knowledge to action through communication processes within professional communities.

"[R]esults from a UK and a USA survey of what delegates at 2 key information literacy conferences had found inspirational (LILAC and LOEX of the West). They varied from fiction (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Little Women) to educational classics (e.g. Freire's work) to practical tutorials and books by librarians, to tales of inspirational individuals. This is different from the usual teacher's reading list! The list from the UK study is at http://dis.shef.ac.uk/sheila/brown-davies-2009.pdf and the US list is in:

Abstract
The papers in this proceedings of USE-2008. From Information Provision to Knowledge Production conference held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Information Studies at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Oulu, Finland share a common perspective – the contributors seek to provide a multidisciplinary account of knowledge production in different contexts. The first keynote paper provides a detailed review of the issues facing managers and users of digital infrastructure who must balance the demands of data management with those of scientific publication. The second keynote contribution explores documentary practices and the materiality of science at the micro level focusing on interpersonal and transinstitutional acknowledgments.
The contributed papers that make up the rest of the volume address the conference theme from a range of viewpoints. The first four explore knowledge management in different contexts – the difficulties of converting industrial experience into formal knowledge systems; the motives and tradeoffs that are involved in online knowledge sharing; the generation of knowledge through strategic dialogue; and the harvesting of informal travel tips in FAQ sites. The fifth paper discusses the ‘readiness’ of government agencies in Namibia for electronic record keeping, and the sixth paper presents empirical observations on the daily media and information behaviour of senior citizens leading to concrete actions. The seventh contribution analyses citation as a discursive practice, using Dervin's work on sense-making as an example, and the last paper offers a deeper analysis than is usual in LIS of the knowing subject in the work of Descartes, making a distinction between philosophical and sociological interpretations. The authors' short CVs conclude this proceedings.

Talking with you...
"“Talking with You: Exploring Interpersonal Information-seeking” was recently funded by the National Science Foundation. The study explores why people turn to other people for everyday information ranging from finding new jobs and lower mortgages, to healthcare, housing, childcare, social activities, and other aspects of daily life. It aims to expand empirical and theoretical knowledge of interpersonal information-seeking with a long-term focus on devising ways for improving information systems." (IBEC, Information behaviour in Everyday Context, University of Washington)
Collaborative librarianship
"Increasingly, libraries are moved to seek partnerships with other libraries, with other organizations in the information and technology fields, with other entities in our institutions, and with other groups and enterprises in our communities. While partnerships of all sorts have had a long history in the field of librarianship, today, as never before, there is greater urgency to develop and exploit library partnerships, and to think widely and creatively on new types of, and potentials for, partnerships.
Published materials appear from time to time on library cooperation and partnerships. Most recently, the America Library Association produced the volume, Burgett, James, John Hear and Linda L. Phillips. Collaborative Collection Development. A Practical Guide for Your Library (Chicago: ALA, 2004), 211 p. From time to time, articles appear in various library journals. These welcomed items provide insightful analyses of cases and opportunities of cooperative librarianship. At present, to my knowledge, there is no journal dedicated to the topic of cooperative librarianship, or dedicated to any aspect of resource sharing or coordinated library services.
As the issue rises in importance and urgency, perhaps now is the time to create an organum for treating consistently and comprehensively the matter of cooperative librarianship.
Features of Collaborative Librarianship include:
Open Access/Online Availability
Peer Reviewed Scholarly Articles
Better/Best practices
Engagement of a Wide Scope of Issues
library-to-library cooperation
sharing resources and expertise
library-to-business partnerships
local, regional, national and international collaboration
professional, consortium and association partnerships
history of library collaboration
The journal contains six sections: Editorials, Scholarly Articles, From the Field, Viewpoints, Reviews and News."

Social Information Literacy
The implication of people’s Lay Information Mediary Behavior (LIMB) is the need for a new approach to the delivery of information literacy — an approach we coin Social Information Literacy. In addition to comprising the core elements of traditional information literacy — “to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use information” (National Forum on Information Literacy, 2010) — Social Information Literacy premises that individuals be attuned to the information situations of others, that they have the skills to surface people’s information needs, and know how to optimally provide information (i.e., the right information, in the best format, in the right way at the right time), while utilizing personal information management systems. Social Information Literacy thus promotes 21st century skills by extending traditional information literacy to reflect people’s broader range of everyday life information behavior.

IL-artikel: "Collecting case studies"
Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges, process and reasons for collecting case studies / exemplars of good practice from practitioners to enrich The National Information Literacy Framework (Scotland). The lessons learned show that there is a tendency for people to think they are not doing anything special and therefore do not respond to emails for exemplars of good practice. They are however once contacted happy to share their practice. It is therefore essential to use networks of contacts, leave plenty of time to talk, visit and work with people on submitting their work as a case study / exemplar. Sharing practice also contributes to professional development both for the individual and their community and to the field of research.

Information technology, work and organization:
"We are interested to explore the ways in which emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) affect existing work processes and organizational forms, as well as how they contribute to alter the traditional relations between work and non-work. Our interest is centered on the notion of information technologies as artifacts that play an active role in organizational and institutional processes. We believe that new ICTs not are only redefining the nature of work by creating new identities, professions and communities, they also generate new discourses and disciplines that cross-traditional academic and professional boundaries.
Focus of the research include: the social construction of technology; the role of ICTs in activity systems; the relations between ICT, practice and community; the study the heterogeneous nature of work processes; participative approaches to design and technological change. Work in progress also covers the support to the conception and design of distributed intelligence systems and the exploration of the role of GroupWare technologies in organizational processes."

Special Issue
Information literacy beyond the academy: towards policy formulation
Edited by
Dr. John Crawford,
Glasgow Caledonian University
Information literacy has not been chosen as a subject for an issue of Library trends since 1991 vol. 39 (3) Winter 1991: Toward Information Literacy -- Innovative Perspectives for the 1990s http://www.ideals.uiuc.edu/handle/2142/5379/browse?type=dateissued
The issue was heavily focused on the Higher education sector. Since then research, development and practitioner activity has moved on and activity and research and development work around information literacy also takes place in career choice and management, employability training, skills development, workplace decision making, adult literacies training and community learning and development, public libraries, school and further education, lifelong learning and health and media literacies. Information literacy has matured sufficiently to have become a national and international policy issue as evidenced by President Obama’s proclamation http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/2009literacy_prc_rel.pdf and such international statements as the Prague Declaration of 2003. http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=19636&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
The planned issue which will contain 8-10 papers will celebrate this broadening of the agenda by calling for papers on the above subject areas and also those focusing on national and international policy making. Papers submitted must reflect on the wider policy implications of their content and suggest how findings can be more widely applied. Individual case studies and exemplars of good practice without a wider context will not be appropriate. While papers on the HE sector will be welcomed they must focus on information literacy training and activity in a wider or cross sectoral context such as employability training or working with other education sectors such as schools or colleges or the workplace and other non-educational environments. Papers are invited from all information sectors and academia.
Proposals of no more than 300 words to be sent by 15 January 2010 to:
John Crawford at jcr@gcal.ac.uk or polbae2003@yahoo.co.uk
In framing proposals intending authors may wish to be view author guidelines on the journal website at http://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/library_trends/guidelines.html
Decisions will be communicated to contributors no later than 26 February 2010.
Deliver date of manuscripts: 30 November 2010. Each article will be in the range 3,000-10,000 words. All copyright permissions must be obtained by the author. Proof of permission must be sent at the same time that the manuscript is submitted. Articles will be published in Volume 60:1 Summer/August 2011.
