Database Developers and Users

Paper Summary:

The advent of new database technologies has proved beneficial to our society in many different ways. These technologies allow businesses and other organizations to run smoothly and keep track of vital information. However, the creation of such technology has created a communications barrier between developers and users. This paper investigates the issue of communications between database developers and database users.

From the Paper:

"A book entitled Preparing the Information Professional: An Agenda for the Future, examines communications barriers that exist between designers and users. The author shares the results of surveys that were taken from college librarians(Rehman 2000). There were seventy-five respondents and the results found that the respondents emphasized the need for database training (Rehman 2000). The book asserts that the respondents "urged placing a stronger emphasis on information technology-based curriculum and instruction. Another 13 demanded better coverage of database design and retrieval in the library and information education curriculum. Curricula of the existing programs include information technology-based courses in the core and elective components" Swift changes in information technology and national agendas for the creation of an elaborate information infrastructure require concomitant changes in the curriculum. However, library and information education programs are not as prompt to react to these demands for change."
