“…The rationale behind this is that shared resources enable students to share knowledge and information related to entrepreneurship. In a mutually supportive social network, students can leverage shared experiences and knowledge, providing deeper insights into the business world (Widén et al, 2023). It enhances students' interest in engaging in entrepreneurial activities.…”

This study aims to analyze the effect of entrepreneurship education and sociological factors on the entrepreneurial intentions of students. Two theories integrated into this research were the Entrepreneurial Skills Theory and Social Capital Theory. The research adopts a quantitative approach, applying structural equation modeling (SEM) and Partial Least Square (PLS) for analysis. The non-probability sampling technique used was Purposive Sampling to determine the research sample. The study participants consisted of 68 college students in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia, selected to complete an online questionnaire. The research findings indicated that entrepreneurship education and sociological factors significantly and positively influence students' entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, both the Entrepreneurial Skills Theory and Social Capital Theory not only have individual positive impacts but also complement each other in shaping students' entrepreneurial intentions. The integration of entrepreneurship education, combining the development of individual skills with the strengthening of social relationships and collaboration, was an effective foundation for motivating and preparing students to face challenges in the business world.

“…Widen et al. found that good information skills are likely to help people to develop social structures, and that information literacy “supports the development of trust and inclination to help each other” (2021, p. 8). Information skills may also influence both intentions and information behaviours.…”

PurposeEffective use of data is critically important for the provision of health services. A large proportion of employees in health organisations work in non-clinical roles and play a major part in organisational information flows. However, their practice, data-related capabilities and learning needs have been rarely studied. The purpose of this paper is to investigate issues of capabilities and learning needs related to employees' interactions with data in non-clinical work roles.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a mixed-method approach. Qualitative methods were used to explore issues, and survey was administered to gather additional data.FindingsData use and related capabilities at the workplace are highly contextual. A range of general, core and data-specific capabilities, underpinned by transferable skills and personal traits, enable successful interactions with data. Continuous learning is needed in most areas related to data use.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was conducted in a large public-health organisation in Australia, which is not representative of unique organisations elsewhere. The study has implications for the provision of health services, workplace learning and education.Practical implicationsFindings have implications for organisational decisions related to data-use and workplace learning, and for formal education and lifelong learning.Originality/valueThe study contributes to closing a research gap in understanding interactions with data, capabilities and learning needs of employees in non-clinical work roles. Capabilities continuum presented in this paper can be used to inform education, training and service provision. The workplace-based results contribute to theoretical considerations of capabilities required for work in technology-rich environments.

“…Currently, only some IL approaches focus on sociocultural factors as a critical aspect of tailoring literacy development and instruction (Budd & Lloyd, 2014) or integrate a cultural competency/humility framework (Cobus, 2008;Hodge & Mowdood, 2016;Montiel-Overall, 2007). While researchers have looked at the relationship between IL and social capital (Widén et al, 2021), and how social structures outside of the control of individuals can impact the development of IL skills (Lin, 2010), IL frameworks continue to struggle between a desire to highlight individual agency by promoting "the knowledge and skills to battle the complexity of the modern information world", and the tendency to frame individuals through a "deficit perception" of their current agency and perceived lack of appropriate literacies (Hicks & Lloyd, 2020, p. 363). Despite making great progress, IL interventions generally fail to account for the full complexity of the context of information behaviors.…”

This book takes a holistic view of the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) during the pandemic through the lens of social informatics, as it is critical to our understanding of the relations between society and technology. Specific attention is given to various stakeholders and social contexts, with analysis at the individual, group, community, and society levels.Pushing the boundaries of information science research with timely and critical research questions, this edited volume showcases information science research in the context of COVID-19, by specifically accentuating sociotechnical practices, activities, and ICT interventions during the pandemic. Its social informatics focus appeals to a broad audience, and its global and international orientation provides a timely, innovative, and much-needed perspective to information science. This book is unique in its interdisciplinary nature as it consists of research studies on the intersections between ICTs and health, culture, social interaction, civic engagement, information dissemination, work, and education. Chapters apply a range of research methods, including questionnaire surveys, content analyses, and case studies from countries in Asia, Europe, and America, as well as global and international comparisons.The book's primary target audience includes scholars and students in information and library science, particularly those interested in the social aspect of the information society. It may be of interest to information professionals, library practitioners, educators, and information policymakers, as well as scholars and students in science and technology studies, cultural studies, political science, public administration, sociology, and communication studies.
