Sustainable Technological Development Planning of Artificial Intelligence-Based Learning Platforms (AILPs)

To date, the selection of AI tools has lagged behind work on other software-specific aspects of modern learning platform development. We designed a novel technology relevance assessment methodology based on an expert Delphi survey and multicriteria analysis. Then, we applied the results to plan further development of the prototype platform and to build its exploitation strategy. The lessons learned while planning and developing this platform can be applied to a large class of similar systems.

Information Science Breaking up?

Many would agree that the institutional library/information service R&D, information seeking, information retrieval, and biblio/infor/scientometrics form the landscape of Library and Information Science (LIS). These subareas are also brought forward in introductions to, and analyses of LIS (e.g., curricula, lectures, textbooks). Still, scholars contributing to different subareas may increasingly turn their attention toward the territory outside LIS – and be integrated there – or remain as visitors to LIS, being based outside. Are there indications toward that in LIS research? We decided to analyze the trends.
