You've Got Mail: Accountability And End User Attitudes To Email Management., Mark Brogan, Susan Vreugdenburg

Mark Brogan

In a pioneering ethnographic study of end user responses to the problem of ‘information overload’ Whittaker and Sidner (1996) found that the design of systems primarily as methods of asynchronous communication, posed significant information management problems for users. In another contemporaneous study, David Bearman (1993) extended understanding of the implications of end user email management behavior by identifying significant accountability implications for organizations arising from the use of email. Recent case studies in the United States and Australia (Leopold, 2008; Raleigh Chronicle, 2008; Strutt, and Taylor, 2007) have once again focused attention on the accountability consequences for Government of email …


A Bounded Or Unbounded Universe?: Knowledge Management In Postgraduate Lis Education, Mark Brogan, Philip Hingston, Victoria Wilson Apr 2014

A Bounded Or Unbounded Universe?: Knowledge Management In Postgraduate Lis Education, Mark Brogan, Philip Hingston, Victoria Wilson

Mark Brogan

The School of Computer and Information Science at ECU has made a commitment to teaching Knowledge Management (KM) and is, at present, engaged in the process of determining its place within existing postgraduate LIS and IT courses. In turn, it is engaging in debate with other academics and industry practitioners about the unique contribution that the LIS disciplines could make to KM. This paper reports on the research and consultative processes that the School undertook and discusses the findings and conclusions. It will also offer some thoughts on where the authors believe LIS, in particular, can make a contribution to …

In 2008 RIM Professionals Australasia conducted its first Technology Survey, on which the authors reported in a previous issue. At the time, it was recognised that the greatest value to professionals would come from a longitudinal study, enabling 'flash in the pan' innovation to be sorted from durable change that has implications for the work and education of RIM professionals. This article - in two parts in this issue of iQ and the next - reports results from the RIM Professionals Australasia 2010 Technology Survey, which has enabled a longitudinal view of data first gathered in 2008.

Ae2 Commander: Simulation And Serious Games In The Online Cultural Heritage Space, Mark Brogan, Martin Masek

Mark Brogan

In 2009, the School of Computer and Security Science, Edith Cowan University, won an Ian Maclean Award to research the role of computer simulation in the archives online space.1 The grant was used to build an authentic World War I role-play game called AE2 Commander, based on the exploits of the World War I Australian submarine AE2.2 AE2 Commander is being used to research the application of serious gaming technologies and methods in the archives online space and to foster understanding of how original sources might be used as part of computer simulation and serious gaming. In this article, the …
