An essay on the Current State and Future Direction of Research and Education on information Practices

Abstract

In the 2000s, research on information practices became more and more prosperous, but on the other hand, it is often said that education on information practices in undergraduate and graduate schools began to decline. This essay examines whether such an understanding of the current situation is valid. Furthermore, using the design science research model as a framework and guidelines, we will clarify that it is very effective for establishing information practice research as one applied or academic discipline.
