New Technologies and the Information Manager: Rules For A New Game

European Journal of Media, Art & Photography, 2020

The information revolution and the electronization of communication have brought with them several trends that have significantly changed not only our perception of information, but also their ways of creation, presentation and distribution. This fact was also caused by the fact that under the influence of information and communication technologies, information began to be handled differently than was previously used in journalistic practice. Digitization was one of the basic preconditions for the emergence of multimedia and a determinant of what we call "convergence". It affected several fields of society, but the work in the media field was marked, both in the process of creating and presenting and distributing media content. Technological innovations are interconnected, supportive and jointly intervene in various types of communication-not excluding the journalistic. Editorial offices create multimedia content to get the attention of recipients through mobile phones, social media and other channels.

This research arises from a background of technology studies, especially the idea of the social shaping of technology (SST) (Williams and Edge, 1996). SST places the analysis of technology in a social environment, and also asks that we understand all social relationships in the context of the material and technical world, which permeates the cultural and social. A particular area of technologies studies that inspired this research looks at media communication and information technologies in the home, and this was the basis of the research questions and design. However during the course of the five year study a great deal of literature from outside this discipline was brought in: from cultural studies, consumer research, diffusion of innovation research, leisure studies, urban and community sociology and many more.

The ways of handling information that work well in (print and broadcast) do not always translate gracefully into new media environments. Although entertainment (in video games and CD-ROMs) and communication (on the Internet and on-line services) are finding new forms and new configurations in the new media, information (news, reference, education), which still relies largely on text, usually takes on forms native to print environments. These can appear very awkward in new media. This article compares people's relationships to digital media and print media; it also examines information and people's needs for and expectations of information, with an eye toward adapting information design to suit new media environments. This concerns not so much the death of print as it does fitting the interface to both the medium and the message-which some would say are the same thing.

As information-related industries creep into each other's territory and create bybrid “info-tainment” business groups, traditional routes to competitiveness become scarce. Attention is shifting toward content and service-based ways of competing, as postmodern forces sweep aside conventional ways of developing and delivering content. The Dholakias examine both the shift in the basis of eompetition in the information business and in information creation.

Information entails data, facts, imaginations, ideas, opinions, and cultural values in a variety of media, including print, audio-visual materials, and electronic formats. In the library context, information includes personal knowledge and external sources such as referrals, interlibrary loan and data banks (Olowu, 2004).The importance of information, especially in the 21st century, cannot be over emphasized. The increasing relationship between information and the competitive economic advantage of nations and multinationals has given rise to the insatiable need for information. Indeed, in modern economy, some factors of production are tied around information or knowledge: knowledge assets (what people know and put into use) and collaboration assets (whom people interact with to create value) (Wikipedia, 2008). The digital age is characterized majorly with the advent of the Internet, information technology and information explosion which is among the few things humans have built that have transformed the ways of life of man. Developments in information technologies and advances in telecommunications have revolutionized the worldwide information society. New techniques have facilitated rapid transformation of data, information and knowledge into digital form. As a result, there have been significant changes in the ways in which documents and information are being stored, organized, accessed, retrieved and disseminated. These developments have further resulted in the change of approaches followed by the libraries which now have to be more innovative and user oriented.

What is Information Design? Is it 'the art and the science of presenting information so that it is understandable and easy to use', as we once stated at our start with IDJ? Or is it 'the deªning, planning and shaping of the contents of a message and the environments it is presented in', as IDJ partner IIID deªnes it? To be honest: none of these two deªnitions satisªes us. Neither indicates what we have in mind when we think of the subjects that are and should be discussed in the Information Design Journal and InfoDesign-Café, or mentioned at www.informationdesign.org. Maybe the diŸerences between Information Design and adjourning specialisms can better express what we think our ªeld of study covers and what it does not. The April 2001 issue of Design Matters discussed diŸerences between Information Design and Information Architecture. Jesse James Garrett came up with some distinctions which also give a good impression of what we feel information Design is:

In a 1996 special issue of ISR on "Information Tech nology and Organizational Transformation," Jo Anne Yates and John VanMaanen noted that Infor mation Technology (IT) has been expected to effect ma jor transformations at every level of organization from the workgroup through the corporation and on to the nation-state. Changes in IT have transformed not only organizations at all levels, but also entire industries. The dramatic decline in the costs of information pro cessing and communications have resulted in the re structuring of business organizations, the nature of the interactions among them, their boundaries-and the industries that they operate in. And of all industries, those that have seen the most change are the Infor mation Industries.

Never before have there been so many opportunities for involvement in an information-based society including electronic and multimedia publishing; local, national, and global networking; development of navigational and filtering tools for access to networked and non-electronic sources; and new modes for delivering information and educational programs. The base of recorded information is growing at an accelerating rate, in increasing varieties of formats (texts, numeric, graphic, video, audio, image, electronic, etc.). Furthermore, an increasing array of computing and telecommunications technologies are emerging to create new options and opportunities for the development of information capture, storage, retrieval, and delivery systems/services. These developments point toward increased difficulty for the information user to obtain needed information in the required time-frame, quantity, and level of detail.The role of information specialists is to facilitate the interactions between the potential information user community and the body of recorded information. The traditional information access and management roles played by the information professions are expanding, particularly in the design and development of new information products and services and of tools to support information seeking and selection, the analysis and synthesis of information content on behalf of users, and information user instruction. The emerging recognition of companies as learning organizations, reinvention of government agencies, new directions for education in universities, colleges, and schools, promise new opportunities for information specialists to reinforce and expand their facilitation of communication and learning processes in their organizations and communities.
