“…Metadata management in libraries also requires competencies and soft skills for coordination activities. Soft skills like responsiveness to change, decision-making, problemsolving and communication are essential for metadata librarians (O'Dell, 2015). Chaudhry et al (2008) stated that LIS programs have always faced challenges for a balanced coverage in the curriculum with regard to the areas of focus.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the university information professionals (UIPs) preferred modes of soft skills learning and differences in their opinions based on gender, designations and experience. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative research design using a questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed through SPSSS version 20.0, using descriptive and inferential statistics. The population of the study included all the UIPs working in the central libraries of the general public sector 33 universities in Pakistan, with nearly a population of 560. Findings The major findings showed that “mentoring sessions by experts” was the most preferred mode of soft skills learning followed by “learning from colleagues”. It showed that UIPs preferred to learn soft skills from experts and colleagues. Independent-samples t-test results found that “mentoring session by experts” was more preferred by females than males. A one-way ANOVA results found significant differences of opinion regarding the “mentoring session by experts” method between librarians and assistant librarians (p = 0.044). Results were statistically significant also between more experienced and less experienced regarding “real project/assignment-based method” and “mentoring session by experts”. In addition, for “formal online courses” and “self-training through reading books”, results were statistically significant between experienced groups of 1-5 years and 11-15 years. Overall results indicated that from UIPs’ perspective, soft skills should be taught to them using face-to-face methods. Originality/value This is the first study in Pakistan that dealt with the preferred modes of soft skills learning of UIPs by using a large group (N = 372) of respondents.

“…In addition, they are aware of technical drawing standards, such as line weights, dimensioning procedures, title blocks, and annotation styles (Mean: 4.47, SD: 1.00). A uniform vocabulary for expressing design intent and technical data is provided by technical drawing standards (O'Dell, 2015). Clarity, uniformity, and correctness in architectural documentation are ensured by following standardized drawing techniques (Sacks et al, 2016).…”

This study aims to explore the profile of graduates in the field of architectural drafting, their learning capabilities, skills, and knowledge, and their readiness towards the workforce. The results will be the inputs to integrate the enhanced learning competencies to faculty development program. This study used a quantitative research design and random sampling technique to select the target graduates of the architectural drafting program from AY 2016-2020 which composed of 105 graduates based on the list given by the registrar’s office. The data for this study collected through a survey questionnaire which was modified based on the Graduate Tracer Research Questionnaire from CHED. The results revealed that most of the respondents are single, male and most of them work in contract and regular roles, and many of them feel their jobs are connected to their academic program. Competitive salary and benefits, chances to use specialized skills, and the possibility of professional growth are the main reasons why recent graduates decide to remain in their current job. Moreover, graduates show a good grasp of industry concepts that are pertinent to architectural drafting and strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. Proficiency in fundamental drafting skills, CAD software usage, technical drawing standards, and professional ethics are demonstrated by graduates. Furthermore, with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the field of architectural drafting, graduates are well-prepared for the workforce. They exhibit a readiness to work with professionals in the field.

PurposeThis research aimed to visualize and analyze the co-word network and thematic clusters of the intellectual structure in the field of linked data during 1900–2021.Design/methodology/approachThis applied research employed a descriptive and analytical method, scientometric indicators, co-word techniques, and social network analysis. VOSviewer, SPSS, Python programming, and UCINet software were used for data analysis and network structure visualization.FindingsThe top ranks of the Web of Science (WOS) subject categorization belonged to various fields of computer science. Besides, the USA was the most prolific country. The keyword ontology had the highest frequency of co-occurrence. Ontology and semantic were the most frequent co-word pairs. In terms of the network structure, nine major topic clusters were identified based on co-occurrence, and 29 thematic clusters were identified based on hierarchical clustering. Comparisons between the two clustering techniques indicated that three clusters, namely semantic bioinformatics, knowledge representation, and semantic tools were in common. The most mature and mainstream thematic clusters were natural language processing techniques to boost modeling and visualization, context-aware knowledge discovery, probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA), semantic tools, latent semantic indexing, web ontology language (OWL) syntax, and ontology-based deep learning.Originality/valueThis study adopted various techniques such as co-word analysis, social network analysis network structure visualization, and hierarchical clustering to represent a suitable, visual, methodical, and comprehensive perspective into linked data.
