Information needs for the information economy     

I. Miles 《International Journal of Information Management》1989,9(4)

There is a marked imbalance in the literature on the information economy: despite a proliferation of grand speculations, and a large number of case studies, there are relatively few efforts to bring macrostatistics to bear on relevant developments. The main approach which has been pursued statistically, involving efforts to define and monitor an ‘information sector’ has served a useful consciousness-raising role, but is inherently limited. It is proposed that a focus on the production and use of new information technology (IT) provides a more appropriate way of conceptualizing the information economy. A study is described in which relevant data were critically appraised for the United Kingdom; the conclusions with respect to specific classes of data are summarized. It is concluded that these data do support an IT focus in statistical work; they demonstrate the availability of a great deal of statistical material which has been exploited to a surprisingly limited extent; but there are substantial elisions and omissions in available data, which need to be corrected. Rather than launch a wholesale revision of statistical series, however, it is proposed that progress can currently best be made by encouraging a plurality of experimental studies.  相似文献

I wasn't always the Fresh Professor. At one point I was just another starving actor trying to make a living. But stories change over time, as do professional desires. This is Part Two of my story. Enjoy the ride.  相似文献   

Is What’s “Trending” What’s Worth Purchasing? Insights from a National Study of Collection Development Librarians     

Sarah W. Sutton  Rachel Miles  Stacy Konkiel 《期刊图书馆员》2017,72(1-4):134-143

ABSTRACT

New forms of data like altmetrics are helping librarians to make smarter decisions about their collections. A recent nationwide study administered to librarians at R1 universities shines light on exactly how these metrics are being applied in academia. This article is based on a presentation from the NASIG 31st Annual Conference. It includes survey results addressing previously unknown rates of technology and metrics uptake among collection development librarians, the most popular citation databases and altmetrics services being used to make decisions, and surprising factors that affect attitudes toward the use of metrics.  相似文献   

Cars, Culture, and Tactical Technical Communication     

Miles A. Kimball 《Technical Communication Quarterly》2006,15(1):67-86

This article examines two cases of technical documentation occurring outside of institutions. Using a framework derived from de Certeau's (1984) distinction between strategies and tactics and Johnson's (1998) concept of the user-as-producer, I analyze communities surrounding Muir's (1969) How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive! A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot and Champion's (2000) Build Your Own Sports Car for as Little as £250. These communities engage in tactical technical communication, especially in the form of technological narratives that participate in broader cultural narratives about technology.  相似文献   

The demand for tertiary education — An Australian study     

Miles G. Nicholls 《Higher Education》1984,13(4):369-377

In this article the demand for tertiary education by successful Higher School Certificate Candidates in Victoria is modelled along the lines of Handa and Skolnik (1975). This particular component of the overall demand is studied because of the particularly plentiful and accurate information available. The estimated effect of youth unemployment on demand raises a number of interesting hypotheses related to the traditional human capital variables of opportunity cost of education and expected future returns. These hypotheses are evaluated using the developed demand model.  相似文献

THE LONG AND SHORT TERM PREDICTIVE EFFICIENCY OF TWO TESTS OF READING POTENTIAL     

J. Miles  P.J. Foreman  J. Anderson 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1973,20(3):131-141

A comparision was made of the predictive efficiency of each of two tests in the diagnosis of reading failure over a period of from one to four years. A direct test of reading potential in the form of a word recognition test was shown generally to be more efficient than an indirect test based on neurophysiological indicants. The finding that self concept measures were not consistently related to reading performance was interpreted in terms of the biassing effect of a particular response style.  相似文献

Query expansion and dimensionality reduction: Notions of optimality in Rocchio relevance feedback and latent semantic indexing     

Miles Efron 《Information processing & management》2008

Rocchio relevance feedback and latent semantic indexing (LSI) are well-known extensions of the vector space model for information retrieval (IR). This paper analyzes the statistical relationship between these extensions. The analysis focuses on each method’s basis in least-squares optimization. Noting that LSI and Rocchio relevance feedback both alter the vector space model in a way that is in some sense least-squares optimal, we ask: what is the relationship between LSI’s and Rocchio’s notions of optimality? What does this relationship imply for IR? Using an analytical approach, we argue that Rocchio relevance feedback is optimal if we understand retrieval as a simplified classification problem. On the other hand, LSI’s motivation comes to the fore if we understand it as a biased regression technique, where projection onto a low-dimensional orthogonal subspace of the documents reduces model variance.  相似文献
