This document discusses the prospects and problems of educating information professionals for the knowledge industry. It addresses several key points:
1. The education of information professionals currently lags behind developments in information and communication technologies. Curricula need to better integrate emerging technologies.
2. Educating information professionals for future changes requires examining both external and internal factors. Schools must equip students with technological knowledge and skills to adapt to rapid changes.
3. There are challenges in developing countries regarding educating information professionals, including lack of integration between information studies and technologies, and high costs of training professionals. Developing regional information infrastructure could help address these issues.
Overall, the document analyzes how educating information professionals needs
ANALYTICAL STUDY OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIPIAEME Publication
Rural development is main aspect to develop a rustic India as over 50 % population lives in rural outskirts. The scenario isn't different at national level. This is often the most reason that the majority of the event schemes prepared to stay such facts as a main focus. An assessment for rural Rajasthan is to induce prepare the youths of generative and skilled on a contemporary parameter of livelihood and employment. The most target of such systematic preparation is to synchronically employ the functioning populace within the unorganized perimeters. Unorganized sector or grey economy bestows around 50 percent of the Rajasthan's GDP. In fact, it employs workers in, unpaid family work, micro and small enterprises, casual labour and home-based work on an honest scale. Within the same context, it also engages migrant labourers, farmers of lean agriculture season and more precisely drop-out of rural youth from schools. As per Indian Staffing Federation Report (2019), Period of 2015 to 2018, Skill India Mission contribution is 9.3 Lacs formal workforce and 70 thousand recruitments (Rituparna Chakraborty, 2019). If we focus from the last couple of years, the Indian economy has attestation of a structural transformation from agrarian process to manufacturing and various service-oriented activities. Similarly, this also made impact on the economy of Rajasthan. Rural development is facing a paradoxical situation where the youth of the rural areas are leaving the agrarian work and moving into the labour market for searching the jobs; on the opposite hand, industries are complaining of unavailability of appropriately and contemporary skilled manpower. This paradox reflects the criticality of rural development in context of need identification, to boost the employability of the growing young population and also to gear-up the economy to understand the target of faster and inclusive growth with innovative CSR contribution.
Assessing The Tangible And Intangible Impacts Of The Convergence Of E-Learnin...ijistjournal
Learning comes through creating and applying knowledge, whilst learning increases an individual's and organization's knowledge asset. Both e-learning and knowledge management feed off the same root: learning, improved capacity to perform work tasks, ability to make effective decisions, and positively impact the world around us. The difference between KM and e-learning is a function of time; knowledge management is dynamic, e-learning is static. As a medium, e-learning allows for the sharing of knowledge that has been tested, researched and organized. Knowledge management is much livelier. Conversations and sharing understanding happens in real time. Through KM, tacit understanding can be communicated,problems can be jointly solved, and serendipitous connections are formed. KM is chaotic, current. KM is ecology; e-learning is the architecture. E-learning courses become outdated, while KM environments are continually fresh and reflective of current activity in a field. Anyway, the strengths of the two fields need to be brought together. KM should feed into e-learning in order for the content of the "course" to remain fresh and to tap learners into a sustained knowledge environment after the course is done and e-learning should feed into the KM environment to provide easy mechanisms for organizing information in the manner that most of the people function. Thereis no doubt that converging this two technology creates bigger impact in the learning process, but our discussion is focused to justify whether the convergence creates better value or not. In the light of the discussion, the conceptual link between these two key technologies has been drawn and several related issues are discussed.3.

Status of Information and Communication Technology Training and Support for S...ijtsrd
Education is perceived in this piece as a process of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, support and research. ICT has a very significant place in the education process that involves teachers and instruction. Information and communication technology have become within a very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern society including Science and technology teachers. The purpose of the study is to determine the status of ICT training and support for science and technology teacher educators in colleges of education within Southeast Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 454 science and technology teacher educators in colleges of education within Southeast state Nigeria. The instrument was subjected to face validation by three experts. The reliability coefficients of the instrument for the study is 0.98 using Cronbach's Alpha formula. Five research questions that guided the study were answered using mean and standard deviation. Five research hypotheses were tested at 0.5 level of significance using one way ANOVA. Among the findings of the study were that, there is low ICT training, support and competence for science and technology teacher educators. It was concluded, among others, that government should help.

Comparative review on information and communication technology issues in educ...riyaniaes
The use of information and communication technology is very beneficial in the education sector because it can enhance the quality of education. However, the implementation of ICT in the education sector of developed and developing countries is a challenging task. This paper explains the comparative study of ICT issues in the education sector of developed and developing countries. In particular, we compare issues between Pakistan and high-tech countries. Our study reveals the fact that the education sector is facing numerous ICT problems that are based on culture, finance, management, infrastructure, lack of training, lack of equipment, teacher’s refusal, and ethical issues. At the end of this paper, various issues faced by the implementation of ICT in the education sector of Pakistan have been categorized into various types, namely, infrastructure, lack of IT professionals, lack of high-speed internet and equipment. Our research is based on five key research questions related to ICT issues. We used a mixed approach where the results of this study can be used as a set of guidelines to help make the learning environment technology-oriented, fast, planned, and productive. Future directions are also given at the end of this paper.
STAKEHOLDERS’ DILEMMA AND ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP ON THE DIFFERENT COMPUTING DISC...IJITE
There is significant overlap between the uniqueness of the disciplines that has complicated trainers, learners and business community’s choice between the different disciplines. As computing has rapidly evolved its different disciplines has equally expanded in the academic community. The distinction between disciplines by the trainers is purposed to provide unique skills to serve unique needs of employers and
society needs. For the business community to receive the best from the products of the programs therefore, it needs to understand what each of the different types of programs provides to meet their needs. This paper presents the results of a survey to determine if stakeholders were able to differentiate between computing disciplines and the level of academic leadership available. The findings of this paper make it clearer the distinct uniqueness of the different computing disciplines. The study found out the computing disciplines are each unique to themselves although there exists an overlap over the content covered. The study established that the stakeholders are not very clear of the difference between the computing disciplines. It also established that some universities have while others do not have academic leadership in the computing disciplines. When the practitioners are very clear on the differences between the different computing
disciplines they are most likely to choose the correct employee, training as well as provide the correct training of the relevant discipline. The implication of the findings being that most likely organizations may not be receiving to best returns from the computing human resource employed as a result of hiring those
not best suited for their tasks. Based on the findings of this research, further research can be undertaken on the various curriculum offered by universities to ascertain whether the unique computing disciplines are apparent in them.

The mobile phone has received global attention primarily as a personal consumer technology. However, we believe that mobile information technology in general will play a significant role in organisational efforts to innovate current practices and have significant economic impact. Enterprise mobility signals new ways of managing how people work together using mobile information technology and will form an integral part of the efforts to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information work. This belief is, however, not reflected in the current selection of books and collections exploring the issue of enterprise mobility. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the key challenges in the application of mobile information technology to improve organisational efficiency. This is accomplished through comparing and contrasting findings from a selection of 11 empirical studies of enterprise mobility with information technology conducted between 2001 and 2007. The paper argues that the debate so far has largely failed to embed glowing accounts for technological potential in a sound discussion of organisational realities. In particular, there has been a lack of balanced accounts of the implicit and explicit trade-offs involved in mobilising the interaction between members of the workforce.
An Analysis on the Application of Information and Communication Technology (I...AJASTJournal
The paper sought to analyse the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching Health Education students in tertiary institutions in Adamawa State. A survey research design was used for the study. The population for the study comprised of 4 tertiary institutions offering Health Education out of which 2 were sampled. A simple random sampling was used in selecting 150 students from each of the institutions sampled making a total of 300 respondents. Data was collected with the use of questionnaire which was subjected to validity and reliability test. The mean and ANOVA was used in establishing the correlation between the variables in the study. The researcher accepts a result if the average mean is above 2.6 which is on the high side and shows a significant relationship. The researchers also reject a result if the average mean is below 2.5 which is on the low side and shows no significant relationship. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that: institutions and their management should have more ICT training centers on campus, the management of the institutions should urgently make sure ICT facilities are available for students’ use, the students should be given assignments, course project, group work, which will involve sourcing for information from the internet, lecturers should encourage students to organize mini seminars for presentation of assignments through the use of power point among others.

ABSTRACT
This essay discusses the current state of and potential future directions for information systems education structured around
several key themes that have emerged as central in several large-scale IS education initiatives over the past 15 years. The core
idea that connects all of these themes is the centrality of IS as a transformative enabler for virtually all goal-directed human
activities. The essay emphasizes the role of IS as the initial integrative discipline that for decades has prepared its students to
identify opportunities to fundamentally change multiple target domains with computational capabilities. Furthermore, the
discussion recognizes the distinctive focus of IS on bringing multiple technologies together into systems that serve organizational
and societal goals and underscores the responsibility to carefully consider implications and potential consequences of technology-
based solutions. The essay also acknowledges the essential roles of formal quality assurance mechanisms (such as accreditation)
and education-focused research as essential resources for the future of the discipline.

1. INTRODUCTION
I am honored and humbled to have this opportunity to reflect
on the state of information systems (IS) education and offer
some thoughts about the future of our field. The most
important role of the information systems community is to
educate new generations of professionals whose work focuses
on the use of information systems to transform the ways in
which organizations and societies are structured and operate to
achieve their goals. There is no better way for us to have an
impact on the world in which we live than by being the best
coach, mentor, and facilitator of learning for our students. For
a variety of reasons, it is now more important than ever to
ensure that we offer our students educational experiences that
are both effective and comprehensive, reaching from technical
expertise to new business models and values-based ethical
analysis of impact.
Never in the history of civilization has a set of
technologies had as profound a potential to change the world
as systems based on information technologies have right now.
Information systems have a truly fundamental role in the lives
of all individuals, organizations, and societies, whether or not
they recognize it. This is closely associated with the rapidly
changing world of work, where artificial intelligence and IT-
driven automation is changing job roles and relevancy of
various professions at a pace that often exceeds the human
capability to adapt. At the same time, physical and digital
systems are increasingly fully integrated, and the action.

Computer crime is a very vast topic. It includes many mal functions by computer users. It is all
about making bad use of information technology for personal interest or in order to create
troublesome situation for others.
Plagiarism is one aspect. It is passing off the work of other people as your own without giving
any credit to them. Piracy is another topic worth thinking about because people make a lot of
effort and spend lot of money to create or make something where other just make a copy of them
instant of buying the original one. Crackers are basically attention who break into computer
system and make illegitimate use of them. With the rapid evolution in Information Technology,
the numbers of crackers are also growing. It is very difficult to get hold of all these issues that is
why we have some association running, aiming to reduce and stop these concerns.
nformation technology and its systems have become so important that large organization can no
longer operate without them, not to mention operate efficiently. Each organization has its unique
purpose, use of information technology is now becomes one of most important means to achieve
the goals as claimed by Hawkins (2004). Technology could increase an organization’s
effectiveness by refine its operations, business process and internal collaboration. In the context
of education, technology could break down communication barriers between students and
faculties and among students themselves. For example, email system could enable lecturers and
students have effective communication when both of them are remote from campus and located
at different time zone of the world. Technology could also help students have better access to the
learning information, experts and learning communities. In most universities’ library system,
students could now access, view and finding citations of thousands of academic journals which
are integral part of student’s academic study from its online database and database’s associated
subscriptions. Technology could also enable active new learning modes, such as multi-media
teaching, computer lab and virtual learning environment that could connect students from
different parts of the world in one virtual environment simultaneously.
However, technology by itself could not delivery the outcomes desired and pursued by the

AI-Empowered Learning Models in Economy 5.0: Fostering Meaning Creation Beyon...IJCI JOURNAL
Economy 5.0 signifies a transformative era with profound implications for human development and education. This article examines emerging learning models underpinning Economy 5.0, exploring their impact on politics, personal growth, and global education ecosystems. The paradigm shift in economic evolution prompts a reevaluation of the nexus between politics and personal development, with learning acting as a catalyst for societal and individual transformation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Abstract
This paper describes issues relating to information professionals (IP) and its education, it suggests, future
change in IP, need for competences responsibilities of IP, and the pull and push Information System
Development (ISD).The paper also presents the prospects and problems of educating IP for knowledge industry.
The current states of education for information professionals in developing countries are such that:
• Interrelationship between the information and communication technologies and the subject matter
of information studies are lagged.
• The development of and the role of technology in an asynchronous system of learning for
information professionals were also discussed.
Keywords: Information professional, Knowledge Industry, Problems of information professionals, Pull and
Push of information system.
Introduction
The growing awareness and value of knowledge in its various forms has been recognized in recent
years in an emerging discourse known as knowledge industry (Gray and Todd 2009). It has seen knowledge as
embedded in the experiences, skills, routines and the tangible artifacts produced in an organisation, as well as in
the processes, wisdom and capabilities of people called professionals in the knowledge industry. The knowledge
industry discourse, has also captured the attention of professionals working in the library and information sector,
and in recent years a body of literature has emerged that explicitly addresses knowledge industry from the
perspective primarily of librarians, with particular attention given to its definition, dimensions, processes and
benefits to the organisation (Backland, 2008).
Definitions of Knowledge industry have generally been quite diverse, but have common and emphasis
on the distinctiveness from information management. Lenox (2007) defines it as a form of expertise management
or industry which draws out tacit knowledge, making it accessible for specific purposes to improve the
performance of organization; about how the organization “know-how” should be structured, organized, located
and utilize. Also to provide the most effective action at that point in time3
, knowledge via a technology platform.
The technology must involve capturing the internal knowledge generated by a firm its best thinking on products,
customers, competitors, and process Information Technology (IT). Knowledge industry can also be viewed as an
opportunity to maximize the return on investment in information and communication technology. This is to
leverage the intellectual capital locked up in key staff; to learn and benefit from sharing information, processes,
best practices, skills and competencies. Also to exploit the wealth of information in ideas, intuitions,
commitments, innovations, practices and imaginations which integrate these as part of the information resources
of an organization to achieve its goals4
.
Roles of Knowledge Industry
The functional roles played by knowledge industry have captured the attention of scholars, consultants,
information providers, software developers and personnel at all levels of the corporate sector. It is a diffuse and
complex debate, providing not only multiple perspectives of what constitutes knowledge industry. Among the
roles is to differed underpinning assumptions about its nature, contextualization, role, and indeed, the meanings
of its constituent terms “Knowledge” and “Industry”, for the most part. There is little explication of theoretical
rationale or conceptual exploration of what “Knowledge” actually is and indeed, how it relates to or differs from
“Information” but let concentrate on an explication of the relationship, if any, between information industry and
knowledge industry. Being managed and how it is perceived within an organisation, its processes, and how this
management relates to the structure and culture of the organization. The functional roles of people within the
organisation or industry, including information professionals (Corcoran, Mary, Dagar, Lynn, Strategies, &
Anthea, 2009).
Who is an information professional?
An Information Professional (IP) strategically uses information in his / her job to advance the mission
of the organization. The IP accomplishes this through the development, and management of information

18
resources and services. The IP harnesses technology as a critical tool to accomplish goals. IPs include, but are
not limited to librarians, knowledge managers, chief information officers, web developers, information, brokers,
and consultants2
. Maximum preparations for the information professionals offer a degree of vision and the
broadest resource base for technological adaptability, growth, creativity, productivity, professional and high
performance. These are attributes information professional will need to survive and thrive amid the rapid and
foreseeable changes. Educating the IP therefore, is a strategy of redefining, reexamining, rethinking, redesigning
and restructuring many aspects of information science education. Information professional according to Blake
(2009), requires a world class education in library and information science, but they must also keep pace in the
profession through continuing education for a rapidly changing world. Information studies have survived for
more than one hundred years and for most of the time it has flourished. The fact that it has flourished and that it
has done so in time of rapid political, economical and technological changes. Different challenges are a head and
the present growth of information resources will even bring a larger number of challenges in the fore-seeable
future.
Educating The Information Professional For Future Change
Josey (1991) Opines that when looking at the future of IP education the primary question one may ask
is how will Schools of information prepare themselves to meet those new challenges? In other to meet these
challenges it is necessary that such schools should look into their external and internal environments. IP enroll in
such schools need to be equipped with knowledge and skills of technology and its usefulness to society as a
whole. One of the things that information science educator can do, is to provide the foundation so that new
professionals can keep their knowledge and understanding of integrating technology and forms of information
process. To serve their clientele and to make decisions or solve problems.
IP educators should be leading in the area of analyzing trends, formulating predictions, and acting as
reporters to the field of changes (Lemke, 2007). These changes should be included in the curriculum of the
school and should also suggest how to respond to the technological as well as the social changes. IP need to
understand the principles of free access which is the major public policy issue of the decade and into the next
future no matter what service format will be used. Information science students must be taught how to exploit the
resources that will allow them to anticipate the future change and avoid becoming obsolete and irrelevant as
information professionals to the individuals they will serve in an information based society.
In the last 20 years, the spectrum of technologies has widened and deepened. Information educators
have gradually moved into adopting advanced professional technologies. Today's information world is on the
verge of a massive societal and professional shift in the way information is accessed. These problems of change
must be addressed by the information school in shifting IP from focusing on the storage and retrieval functions
to that of a manager of information transfer process. Buckland (2008) said if storage problems diminished,
problems of access became dominant. Therefore putting technology into the proper perspective of the world
information is an important function of adequate education given to IP. In other to prepare the IP for future
change in technology information schools should focus in area of automation and information technology to
prepare their students, to handle the various types of technology to satisfy their users’ needs. The schools should
also through their curriculum provide data on different types of software, the existence and use of various
database and their management, and end-user tools in the computer and telecommunication industries.
Need for Competencies of IP
The competencies of Information System Development can be grouped into three categories:
1. Technical competencies covering the use of appropriate information technology to acquire organize and
disseminate information, creating information products and the ability to identify and evaluate
information sources.
2. Social competencies relating to provision of instruction and support for information users to meet their
needs.
3. Organizational competencies in terms of specialized knowledge relevant to their employee, ability to
develop, manage and information services and to undertake research into information management
challenges and in general greater involvement in achieving the objectives of the organization.
This wide range of areas of competences is found in most information studies programmes. Of particular note
however is the approach to the teaching of information technology which needs to be studied not only as an end
in itself but also as a means to an end and an agent of change in the whole information process from creation
through storage to retrieval. 2&5
“Information technology not only provides more sophisticated tools to carry out traditional tasks but the
technological tools themselves alter the task and change the very nature of the intellectual operations”.

The diverse responsibilities of information Professionals are:
• Developing and maintaining a portfolio of cost-effective, client-valued information services that
are aligned with the strategic directions of the organization and client groups.
• Building a dynamic collection of information resources based on a deep understanding of clients'
information needs.
• Gathering evidence to support decisions about the development of new services and product.
• Maintaining current awareness of emerging technologies.
• Assessing and communicating the value of the information organization, including information
services, products and policies to senior management, key stakeholders and client groups.
• Contributing effectively to senior management strategies and decisions regarding information
applications, tools and technologies, and policies for the organization.
The Pull and Push of Information System Development
Within this highly dynamic environment, information professionals not only feel the pull of the
situation described above but also the push of their own professional aspirations. These aspirations are
traditionally explained as getting the right information to the right person at the right time and at the right price.
In this context information professionals education, which gives them the knowledge and the skills they need. To
meet these needs, the domain of information studies today has extended its scope to embrace not only the
traditional sphere of published information associated with the library but also information generated by
organizations as the outputs of their business activities. In the information services of organizations, as opposed
to libraries, the emphasis shifts from collection development and availability of a resource base (usually
purchased externally), to the active communication of a resource, both internally generated as well as externally
acquired, to meet users need and aid decision-making. Nowadays, via web technology in particular, these types
of information (i.e. internal reports, online databases) often merge and are communicated seamlessly for the PC
user. New information specialists such as records management, knowledge management, documentation control
and web management are in some contexts being consolidated and in others being established to develop and
control these new and highly dynamic environments. (Josey, 1991 and Dillon, 1995).
Information professionals in training need not only to learn about and be able to use the new
technologies as elements of the working world today. They also need to understand them and the potential for
their use so as to exploit them in fulfilling their professional role, because these new technologies are the
technologies that are specific to information and communication. Additionally, considering information
professionals as learners, these new technologies bring further opportunities to all students by providing a means
of supporting learning at a distance, where the separation between the teacher and the learner is as much
temporal as physical. There remains however, the unchanging goal of university education, which is the
development of understanding that goes far beyond the transmission of information and the communication of
knowledge. This requires the students to engage actively with operational aspects of the subject matter and to
articulate its theoretical aspects.5 and 7
So there are three facets of the information professional's life today that are changing in relation to new
technologies.
• The way in which business operates in general and the prominence that information is taking for
business.
• The tools of the trade that information professionals use in their own work.
• The means by which they are able to update their skills both as part of initial training and also re-
training.
The aims of this information System Development will therefore be to present:
• The current state of education for information professionals.
• Interrelationship between the information and communication technologies and the subject matter
of information studies.
• The development of and the role of technology in an asynchronous system of learning for
information professionals.
IP should be prepared with understanding of organization of knowledge, knowledge of information sources in
print and electronic formats networks, teaching abilities (bibliographic instruction) abilities of negotiating and
selecting of variety of electronic products (Dillon, 1995).
Prospects of Educating Information Professionals for the Knowledge Industry
The main aim of the education and training provided to IP was to provide forum for the research and
practices, addressing current issues associated with Information Systems Development (ISO). Everyday new

technologies, applications and methods raised the standard for the quality of systems expected by organizations
as well as end users. Everybody is becoming dependent on systems reliability, scalability, and performance.
Hence, it is crucial to exchange ideas, experiences and also stimulate exploration of new solutions. This situation
provides a forum for both technical and organizational issues.
In the challenges of rapidly advancing technology. What should developing countries do to overcome
these challenges? Which are the central technologies that bring advancement under current socio-economic
situation? Is regional information infrastructure a possibility?
Development can be seen as an increase of knowledge and skills and creative potentials that can be
applied to improve the quality of life. Research shows that low levels of knowledge and inadequate innovative
skills at lower, middle and higher levels have contributed to the continuous failures in all spheres in developing
countries4.
Information and knowledge are interrelated. Well-informed, knowledgeable and innovative IP are
causes for human centered development. Information technology facilitates the flow of knowledge in modern
society. The failure to use information technology is becoming negative as the refusal to attend school. It is a
choice between being left out of benefiting from enormous benefits of information technology3
.
A cluster of technologies education is responsible for shaping the way modern information society is
emerging. The emerging of communications and computing technology with printing and public information
using intelligent tools has made the availability of information easier. The advancement did not occur in
technology only. A wide variety of information is becoming available through networks for everyone, at anytime,
and at any place effectiveness of these technologies depends on adequate IP education. The prospects of
educating IP are tremendous. Nowadays it is becoming increasingly difficult to run an institution without using
computers. Desktop machines are replacing traditional office type writers. Information technology that can be
used, maintained and developed by the indigenous professionals is crucial. Education and training is a key to
building indigenous capacity that helps reduce dependence on developed world, to cut under-utilization of
existing equipment and to help to apply technology for solving local complex problems.
No other region is more in publishing crisis than developing Countries1
.The book famine can be
compared to the food shortage in the region. Publishing as well as getting what is published is a nightmare.
Libraries in schools and public libraries have continued to decline in holdings of up-to-date books, reports and
journals. The revolution in desktop publishing is the most promising rescue to the weak knowledge industry in
developing countries. The potential of IP education in development activities that improve the quality of life,
efficiency of social and economic organization and it cohesion is evident. Developing countries like Nigeria
need information and communication policy adjustment to share the promises of the rapid changes in
information technology. Information policy adjustment involves appreciation of the significance of information
technology in lifelong learning, trade, employment, accountability and better management of resources and
environment. IP education properly designed can be deployed even in regions that lack adequate water, food and
power. IT represents the biggest chances for major leapfrog in development, growth and poverty alleviation. If
developing countries can fulfill necessary conditions for networking, agility, learning and reliability1
.
Modern use of information technology requires aggressive activities in IP education Information
technology and IP education have dual impact on each other. Information technology has a greater impact on IP
education in the development of new concepts, improving resources sharing and advancing research. Information
technology education is the main solution for building indigenous capacity in developing countries.
Governments should play active roles in diffusing the above technologies to colleges, universities and schools.
The use of Internet is a boost to graduate research in developing countries. Connectivity helps to open the
window to global knowledge for developing countries like Nigeria. In addition to deploying information
technology in education, governments should promote the use of information technology in the public
communication media, including printed and audiovisual media, telecommunication and postal services.
Information systems in business, finance, health, legal, science and technology should also be encouraged to use
appropriate information technology5
.
Governments should develop better policies for equitable access to Information Technology. The need
to provide equitable access should not underscore connection of information delivery agencies, business and
private institutions to high bandwidth networks. Those "ready to ride" should be allowed to surf on global
information networks. Appropriate information and communication policies are the basis for building regional
information infrastructure for socio-economic development.
Problems of Educating Information Professionals for Knowledge Industry
1. High Cost of Training: Most of the time, educating information professionals for knowledge industry
fails because of the high cost of training professionals that will administer the available technology for
the advancement of the industry. People are poor particularly in developing nations like Nigeria where

21
poverty level is high. It is estimated that the average Nigerian lives below $1 per day.7
2. High Cost of Sophisticated Equipment: The necessary information equipment and gargets are
relatively beyond the reach of the average. Where these tools are not available it becomes difficult for
information professional in knowledge industry to thrive.
3. Irregular Power Supply: Irregular supply of power is a major setback for educating information
professionals for knowledge industry. Most of the equipment for information transmission and
communication are dependent on electricity supply. In situation where electricity is not available or
epileptics, there is bound to be a problem.
4. Poor Attitude: Sometimes the attitude of the people towards information could constitute a barrier in
educating information professionals for the industry. The right attitude no doubt would influence and
encourage educating information professionals in the knowledge industry. Other constraints facing IP
education is lack of IT components for practice, lack of self-motivation, financial difficulty among
others.
5. Government Attitude: The government is not left out, if the knowledge industry is to gain massively
from educating information professionals. It is essential that there is at the national level a collective
wish - the will to plan and manage the economy and the coordination of political and economic
activities so as to rationalize and optimize the use of information professionals with the scarce resources
available.
Conclusion
The information science profession is service-oriented and requires continually updated knowledge and
skills for effective performance. The efficiency of any information center in meeting the information needs of its
clientele, to a large extent, depends on the caliber of its staff. According to Esharenana (2003) information
knowledge and skills are not acquired once and for all. They have to be continually updated. This is particularly
the case as Information Professionals (IP), which are prevalent means of information storage, retrieval and
dissemination at present. Within this dynamic environment, IP feel the push of their own professional aspirations.
These aspirations are traditionally explained as getting the right information to the right person at the right time
and at the right price. In this context IP need to be able to respond to the new challenges and therefore require
professional education, which gives them the knowledge and the skills they need. To meet these needs, the
domain of information studies has extended its scope to embrace information generated by organizations, as the
outputs of their business activities. Thus information professionals in training need not only to learn about and be
able to use the new technologies as elements of the working world today. They also need to understand them and
the potential for their use so as to exploit them in fulfilling their professional role, because these new
technologies are the technologies that are specific to information and communication. Additionally, considering
information professionals as learners, these new technologies bring further opportunities to all students' by
providing a means of supporting learning at a distance where the separation between the teacher and the learner
is as much temporal as physical. There remains however the unchanging goal of university education, which is
the development of understanding that, goes far beyond the transmission of information and the communication
of knowledge. This requires the student to engage actively with operational aspects of the subject matter and to
articulate its theoretical aspects.
So there are three facets of the information professional's life today that are changing in relation to new
technologies.
1. The way in which business operates in general and the prominence that information is taking for
business.
2. The tools of the trade that information professionals use in their own work.
3. The means by which they are able to update their skills both as part of initial training and also re-
training.
