Description
Digitalisation has had an overwhelming impact on the workplace in recent years, making it more associable, editable, interactive, programmable, traceable, communicable, and distributable. However, this change brings substantial shifts in work processes. New technologies almost always lead to new work arrangements and collaborative engagements, thereby disrupting the information environment and altering equilibria at work.
Information Literacy and the Digitalisation of the Workplace aims to highlight the role of workplace information literacy as a crucial factor for successful digital transformation in today's work environment. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, the book examines the multifaceted role of workplace information literacy in organisational operations and its influence on the digitalisation process, considering both employer and employee perspectives.
The book provides lessons learned from studying workplace information literacy across diverse empirical settings, such as a nuclear power plant, an open-source software community, and a university, among others. It presents methodological and conceptual advancements for anyone exploring information literacy in the modern, digitalising workplace. The text extends the conversation on the impact of digitalisation on individuals and organisations and guides researchers by compiling conceptual, methodological, and procedural insights on the effects of digitalisation on the contemporary workplace from an information-centred viewpoint.
