Dynamic Evolution of Information Resources Management Curriculum

This study tracks the dynamic evolution of the information resources management (IRM) curriculum, offering insights into the trends of disciplinary development and talent cultivation in the field. Grounded in the iField framework integrating five core elements (information, technology, people, organization/society, and management, ITPOM), a subject analysis framework for IRM curriculum is designed. Cross-institutional variations, popular subjects, and the evolution of knowledge structures in IRM curriculum are then examined using short-panel data from six universities for 2015 and 2024. The findings reveal that the IRM curriculum in China is shifting toward data-driven and technology-governance–driven paradigms, with library science, information science, and archival science converging around information management as a shared core. In the future, IRM talent cultivation will strike a balance between technological empowerment and humanistic values, and will meet social needs through curriculum innovation.

跟踪信息资源管理课程体系的调整动态, 可以透视信息资源管理学科专业建设和人才培养的变化趋势。 基于融合 “信息-技术-人-组织/社会-管理” 五要素的信息领域理论模型, 设计一套信息资源管理课程主题分析流程, 以6所院校2015年和2024年两年的短面板课程数据为例, 探究信息资源管理课程体系的院校间差异、热点主题要素与知识结构演化态势。 结果表明, 我国信息资源管理课程体系呈现数据驱动与 “技术-治理” 趋势, 图情档围绕信息管理内核形成发展合力。未来人才培养需在技术赋能与人文价值之间寻求平衡, 并以课程体系创新对接社会需求。
