Design thinking has been widely used by researchers in various fields to design products that are suitable for their target groups. This study used literature research to reveal the theoretical use of this method for information repackaging. The results showed that the design thinking method could be applied to information repackaging, both with model of the IDEO and 3I Brown, The Six Phases of HPI, or The Seven Stages. The iterative nature of the design-minded could increase the validity, reliability and practicality of the information repackaging products.
This article proposes a solution to improve the efficiency of automated generation of electronic lexicographical resources based on strongly-structured electronic information arrays processing. The developed automated information system for lexicographical resources creation and replenishment have been described is this article. Several supporting subsystems of developed automated system have been characterized. The effectiveness of the information system has been evaluated.
The entire life of an average Igbo (from cradle to grave) revolves round the arts generally and most especially the musical arts. Many aesthetic features of a wide range of the arts of music, dance and drama fill the lives and environments of Igbo rural communities. As the very essence of culture, folk music forms the basis of people’s tradition and identity. Transmitted orally between generations, it does not necessarily conform to the music of any other culture. However, in some cases it may share common factors, elements or characteristics with those of other ethnic groups around the country. Recent studies have shown that the state of Igbo folksongs in the twenty-first century is not very encouraging. Although a few Igbo musicologists have made arrangements of some of the folksongs, transforming them into art music of some sort, the music has been to a great extent neglected and relegated to the background by the present generation, especially the youth, such that it may eventually become a lost heritage. Unfortunately, many musicologists fail to realise this unhealthy development and consequently do very little or nothing to salvage the situation. This article therefore sets out to draw the attention of Igbo musicologists and all other stakeholders, while highlighting the attempts made so far towards ‘repackaging’ these folksongs for global acceptance and for posterity. Describing these trends holds the potential of creating a better future for the Igbo musical tradition and culture.
This paper traces the emergence of Community information Services and describes
their theoretical foundations. Terms and concepts are defined. Various types of alternative
service and their distinguishing characteristics and functions are described and a case is
made for promoting this type of service at the present time.
