Abstract:
The research on Information Culture (IC) dates back to the 1970s in the former Soviet Union and the United States, and began to rise in the 1980s.Foreign scholars have made interdisciplinary exploration and multiple perspectives on IC issues from different fields and different levels.After 30 years of development, important progress has been made in IC research.With the deepening of the research, a new trend is presented at the same time.The purpose of this article is mainly to clarify the context of IC research abroad, to overview the main content and the research methods of IC research, to set forth the problems those different levels of IC research concern, to detect the trend of the research, to summarize the enlightenment from the foreign IC research, and to put forward interrelated suggestions for research in China.
       This article applies the method of literature review, and builds the framework of research from four parts.At first the history of the rise and development of IC research abroad isconducted briefly.Then the situation of IC research is described from stage division, subject distribution and level induction.Thirdly the content of IC research is outlined from concept, constitution and evaluation.Fourthly the IC research is analyzed and evaluated from the main problems, typical methods, related concepts and development trends.
       The IC research can be divided into three stages:the embryonic stage(from 1970s to the middle 1980s), the preliminary development stage (from the late 1980s to the late 1990s), and the rapid development stage (from the 21st century up to now).
       The IC research mainly concentrates on the fields like Information Science and Library Science, Computer Science and Information Systems, Economics and Business, Management, Education and Education Research and so on.
       In the process of actual research, IC research often incorporates the theories of Culturology, Sociology, and Information Science etc.It has gradually developed into three levels, namely the national level (National Information Culture, NIC), organizational level (Organizational Information Culture, OIC), and the individual level (Personal Information Culture, PIC).The theoretical foundation of the NIC and PIC is from Culturology and Sociology, being related to such factors as quality, ethics and morality.The research theoretical basis of OIC is from the organizational culture, information management and information science, involving information use, information behavior, information sharing, information system, information standards, information regulations and other aspects.But no matter what kind of perspective it is based on, the IC research must answer questions of “what”, “why” and “how”, namely “the concept of IC (what)”, “the source of IC (why)”, and “the construction and assessment of IC (how)”.Therefore, NIC, OIC and PIC research cannot break away from the basic elements such as information values, attitudes, regulations and standards.They are all subject to the influence of IT technology, and concerning about the evaluation of IC.
       Though the IC research comes from different disciplines and expands from different dimensions, its research object is also an individual person as well as a person or a staff member in a particular organization and social environment.Therefore, the IC research also belongs to the category of behavior research.It mainly includes two methods:the theoretical study and the empirical study.
       From the IC research trend abroad in the last two years, we can see that the study of OIC is still the mainstream, and the study of OIC has expanded from commercial organizations to data guardianship institutions, police agencies, government agencies and so on.
       This article systematically studies the foreign research progress of IC for the first time, concludes the IC research as three levels:national, organizational and individual, and points out the concerns of different levels of IC research.At the same time, the enlightenment from the IC research is summarized, and interrelated suggestions for China are put forward.3 figs.1 tab.70 refs.
中文摘要:
      信息文化(Information Culture,IC)是信息科学与图书馆学、计算机科学与信息系统、经济学与商学、管理学以及教育与教育研究等学科领域共同关注的研究课题。自20世纪70—80年代兴起至今,已取得了重要进展,积累了大量文献研究成果。本文以WoS、PQDT、Springer、Taylor & Francis、Elsevier ScienceDirect、Emerald等相关数据库收录的文献为基础,分四个部分对国外IC研究进行综述:①简述国外IC研究的兴起与发展历程;②从阶段划分、学科分布、层面归纳三个方面阐述国外IC研究的状况;③从概念、构成与评价两个方面概述国外IC研究的内容;④从主要问题、典型方法、相关概念、发展趋势四个方面评析国外IC的研究。指出:IC研究需要从个人信息文化(PIC)、组织信息文化(OIC)和国家信息文化(NIC)三个层面展开,OIC以及PIC的研究将成为未来IC研究的重点;IC理论研究要紧密联系实际;IC研究的核心在其概念与评价。建议我国的IC研究应从三个方面展开:①拓宽IC研究的视阈,重点关注组织层面和个人层面的研究;②开展IC的实证研究,探索我国IC发展中的共性与个性;③界定不同层面IC的概念,明确IC的组成与评价要素。图3。表1。参考文献70。
