Diez respuestas de la investigación científica a dudas de los periodistas digitales [Ten answers from scientific research to doubts of digital journalists]

Scientific research on digital journalism, a field consolidated in recent decades in the field of social sciences, provides results that should contribute to a better professional activity and that can help to clear up doubts that many professionals have when facing challenges in their day-to-day work. Despite the poor relationship between the profession and academia in the past, the result of a flood effect in the sector in the last decades of the last century and certain mutual reticence, there is no doubt that the challenges facing professionals in the second half of the third decade of the current millennium, driven by the massive intro-duction of artificial intelligence tools, suggest a better understanding that will be fruitful for both parties

Brújulas, coordenadas y mapas. Bitácora de viaje de la innovación curricular de la Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecología de la Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia

This article presents the advances of the macro stage of the ongoing Curricular Innovation Project of the undergraduate programs of the Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecologíaat the Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia. This project aims to build a curricular proposal that articulates in differ-ent dimensions, epistemological-theoretical, pedagogical, didactic, curricular, and administrative, the undergraduate programs in Archiving and Library Science, based on the par-ticipation of its key actors, the analysis of the context, and the institutional stamp. Methodologically, tension analysis was used, seeking to make a critical, situated, and histori-cal reading of the theoretical, epistemological, and trend approaches, in order to maintain a balance between labor and social requirements with respect to vocations and in-stitutional traditions. The advances are presented in terms of statements that guide the conception and institutional curricular action, and account for four central issues: the agreements of the articulating and specific objects of study, the identification and analysis of contemporary trends, the definition of graduation profiles, and the configuration of the pedagogical horizon. In the end, some recommendations are put forward to continue encouraging the journey, which can be synthesized into three issues: achieving articulation with the meso and micro curricular stages, advancing in the consolidation of the methodological memory of the project, and proposing administrative alternatives to face curricular innovation processe

The Effect of Knowledge Gathering and Sharing Behavior on the Relationship Between Job Autonomy and Innovative Behavior of Librarians of Ahvaz University Libraries

Objective: Job characteristics, including job autonomy, can significantly impact various work-related and behavioral outcomes for an organization’s employees. These outcomes encompass creativity within the work environment, as well as knowledge-related behaviors such as knowledge gathering, knowledge sharing, and innovation. On one hand, job independence provides the conditions necessary for the emergence of knowledge-related behaviors. On the other hand, it can also serve as a catalyst for innovation and innovative behaviors through knowledge behaviors. The primary objective of this study is to explore the role of knowledge gathering and sharing behaviors in the relationship between job autonomy and innovative behavior of librarians of Ahvaz universities. Methodology: This study employed an applied research approach, using an analytical survey method. The statistical population of the research consisted of all librarians working in university libraries in Ahvaz in Iran. To determine the sample size, Morgan’s table was used. Given that the total number of librarians exceeded 120 individuals, a sample size of 92 respondents completed the questionnaires. The research data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling (SEM) in SmartPLS and SPSS. Findings: The research results indicate that knowledge gathering behavior has an effect on the relationship between job autonomy and innovative behavior of librarians of the university libraries of Ahvaz (ᵦ = 0.39). In addition, knowledge sharing behavior has an effect on the relationship between job autonomy and innovative behavior of the university libraries in Ahvaz (ᵦ = 0.42). Conclusion: Giving special attention to human resources as the primary factor in knowledge gathering and sharing, job autonomy, and innovative behavior plays an important role in the development of the knowledge-sharing process and enhancing organizational empowerment in terms of discovering the hidden knowledge held by individuals. The study results highlight the significance of employee job independence across various dimensions: criteria, methods, and schedules. Such independence provides a valuable opportunity for employees to go beyond rigid procedures in their work, actively seeking to learn and share insights with their colleagues. Ultimately, this article aims to offer practical recommendations for achieving organizational goals within university libraries. According to the results, it is suggested that: Employees of university libraries and academic librarians should be encouraged to acquire knowledge and develop essential skills. This empowerment not only enriches their work but also opens up possibilities for innovative behaviors within their job responsibilities. Also, the independence of employees should be taken into consideration. Specifically, employees should be granted discretion and relative freedom when making decisions related to criteria, methods, and timing in performing their duties. This autonomy provides an opportunity for them to leverage their knowledge capacities and introduce new ideas and innovative behaviors within the context of the autonomy granted. By implementing these recommendations, organizations can foster a culture of continuous learning, creativity, and innovation among their library staff

Qué opinan los periodistas de las herramientas de verificación potenciadas por Inteligencia Artificial [What do journalists think of verification tools powered by Artificial Intelligence]

The IVERES Project, promoted by Radio Televisión Española and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and which has as partners the universities Carlos III of Madrid, Granada and the Polytechnic of Catalonia, focuses on the creation of information verification products for texts, photographs and audio. Within the framework of this project, two focus groups were held with various senior and junior journalists to deepen their experiences with the use of Artificial Intelligence tools and, specifically, with the need for verification instruments to discern whether what is explained by the media is true. Among the results, the economic cost, the ease of use, and that professionals consider that the verification instruments will only be valid if the degree of certainty approaches 100% stand out
