Regular feature: scholarship-in-practice.
Regular feature: scholarship-in-practice. Introduction Education for future Library and Information Science (LIS LIS - Langage Implementation Systeme.A predecessor of Ada developed by Ichbiah in 1973. It was influenced by Pascal's data structures and Sue's control structures. A type declaration can have a low-level implementation specification. )practitioners is not just about turning out graduates with the skillsand knowledge required to undertake information work. At QueenslandUniversity of Technology, we also feel it's critical that graduatesleave our course with an understanding of the importance ofscholarship-in-practice. In our Master of Information Technology(Library and Information Science), we provide students withopportunities to learn about the process and practice of professionaland scholarly publication. During their course, our students have the opportunity to workthrough a publication workflow The automatic routing of documents to the users responsible for working on them. Workflow is concerned with providing the information required to support each step of the business cycle. as part of an assignment, from proposingan article via an abstract submission, to submitting for peer review,and through to revision based on peer review feedback. As part of thisprocess, students participate in a formal double blind peer review, bothas authors and reviewers. At the end of the semester se��mes��ter?n.One of two divisions of 15 to 18 weeks each of an academic year.[German, from Latin (cursus) s , student articlesare made available through our own Open Access journals (we anticipatethe first issue of our journal Web content management for Library andInformation Science will be available in September athttps://teaching.scitech.qut.ed u.au/ojs/index. php/wcm41is). This experience allows students to develop an appreciation of theimportance of peer review, demystifies the publication process, andencourages them to become practitioners who both draw from andcontribute to the professional literature. In Semester One, 2010, students in the unit Web Content Reliabilitycompleted a piece of assessment that followed this process. The qualityof the articles produced was truly extraordinary, and highlighted to methe need to ensure that students who are researching and writing at apublishable standard have opportunities to get their work published inprominent journals. A discussion with the editor of ALJ ALJ Administrative Law JudgeALJ Association for Legal Justice (Northern Ireland), Ann Ritchie,highlighted that this was a common interest of ours, and so this newregular feature was born. Each issue of ALJ will feature an article written by a student ofLIS. Ideally, these articles will either be the product of assessment,or based on work undertaken during a student's formal education inthis field. They will be focussed on current and topical issues. Theintent is to highlight the exciting work students are doing, and toallow the broader LIS community to benefit from it. This month's contribution comes from a student in Web ContentReliability. Lachlan Glanville's article focuses on web archiving Saving the pages from Web sites as they change over time for historical purposes. Using crawlers similar to the ones search engines routinely deploy, there are services that archive the pages of a company's own Web site or pages from selected Web sites across the Internet. and, through a literature review, presents a comparison of practices inAustralia and the Netherlands.
