At the end of being part of this unit INN533 Information Organization,
I feel I have acquired a clearer understanding by learning about the
information user and the information professional and their roles in terms of
organizing information. I have learnt how to use different information tools to
acquire specific resources whether I am using a classification system to locate
the resource, a library catalogue such as the National Library of Australia’s
catalogue or using a database. Through writing journals I have found the weekly
topics interesting and have improved on elaborating the significance of user
experience on the design of a database after learning about the elements that
enhance user experience.
I found a few parts of the unit challenging, but there was
not many concepts that were entirely new to me so I handled myself well with
the new tasks I was required to accomplish. The most challenging part of the
semester was being able to balance the workload involved in this unit along
with the workload within other units of my final semester. In my final units I
found myself in three different groups for the subjects I undertook this
semester and that meant that I had to improve on my multitasking skills in
order to add my input to all three groups for the assessments. The subject of
information organization itself, assisted me in managing the majority of the
information I had in all my subject in this semester and helped simplify my
time management.
I have gained a greater understanding with the concept of
developing a database, and additionally, with understanding the concept of
information organization and applying the skills of it to the assessments that
were given. I have enjoyed assisting my team members in creating the ContentDM
Database and I’m looking towards the future to apply my acquired knowledge and
skills to a workplace environment.
