Also needing study and detailed specification are the aptitudes, knowledges, and skills prerequisite for successful pursuit of given career paths. Unfortunately, too many diverse and too few sound answers have been given these questions to date. Unfortunately also, there exists and persists a kind of mythology regarding the learning process which has been transferred to information‐science classes. For example, the view is sometimes put forth: “That the structure imposed upon knowledge by a discipline is the best structure for transmitting that knowledge to students.” Such myths fail to take into account the needs and possibilities for individualizing and improving the quality of the learning process and new modes and methods of instruction which have been shown to produce accelerated gains in relevant knowledge and abilities in a variety of fields of study. It is hoped that those responsible for planning and administration of professional education in the information sciences will take such possibilities into account.","PeriodicalId":295971,"journal":{"name":"American Documentation","volume":"1996 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134537430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computer-based systems do not necessarily assign any unique role to spatial tags, and so a feature of considerable importance for the organization of the user's memory seems to have been largely overlooked. The spatial dimension of human memory is discussed, and some suggestions are offered for exploiting it more effectively in the context of information retrieval services.","PeriodicalId":295971,"journal":{"name":"American Documentation","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1968-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117252720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
