    Subjects: Library Science,Information Science >> Library Science submitted time 2023-08-27 Cooperative journals: 《图书情报工作》

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] Policy is the essential element in the ecosystem of open government data. This article reviews the extent research of open government data (OGD) policy in China and provides guidelines for academic community.[Method/process] The systematic review is adopted to sort out and summarize relevant research related to OGD policies, thus existing research is evaluated comprehensively and research agenda is proposed to move policy research forward.[Result/conclusion] Findings show that OGD policy research focuses on three themes:open data policy environment, open data formulation, and open data policy implementation. Limitations of extant research:most researches focus on foreign empirical research, and less focus on policy in China; research is more fragmentary and abstract, and lack of systematicness and specificity. Research direction in the future:we should conduct in-depth research on open data policy system, especially data asset management policies, relevant mechanisms for policy implementation, e.g. coordination mechanism, participation mechanism and monitoring mechanism, and the adaptability of existing policies.

    Subjects: Library Science,Information Science >> Information Science submitted time 2023-04-01 Cooperative journals: 《图书情报工作》

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] Through investigating the practice progress of international students' information literacy education in Chinese university libraries, the authors put forward feasible development countermeasures and provide reference for Chinese university libraries to carry out the international students' information literacy teaching services to support the universities' "double first-class" strategies and international construction.[Method/process] Two questionnaire surveys were conducted among 104 librarians from 91 university libraries which had carried out international students' information literacy education in eastern, western, southern and northern China, and 20 international students in Shanghai Jiao Tong University respectively. Through the statistical analysis of the survey results, this paper analyzed the advantages, disadvantages and strategies of information literacy instruction for international students in university libraries in China.[Result/conclusion] The information literacy education of international students has been carried out in more than half of the university libraries in China. It is characterized by diversified teaching staff, multi-dimensional teaching types and contents, and various teaching methods and languages. There are some deficiencies in the information literacy education for international students, such as the need to strengthen the cultivation of information literacy of international students, the urgent need to strengthen the information literacy education of international students, the lack of teaching staff, and the improvement of teaching ability of librarians. We should strengthen the top-level design of international students' information literacy education, strengthen the construction of foreign students' information literacy teaching staff, pay more attention to the improvement of librarians' teaching ability, and try to use new teaching methods of information literacy.
