This study examined personal information creation and storage practices in digital and print media by faculty in selected universities in Ghana. A sample survey research design guided the research and quantitative data were collected from 235 faculty members of six universities in Ghana. Qualitative data was also collected from 18 willing faculty members, and was guided by an interview schedule. Faculty reported that they created their information in an organized manner and that they created information mainly in digital formats compared with manual. The task at hand determined the information facility created and search words that are semantically related to the item are used in finding/re-finding electronic information. Faculty reported that they acquired their information literacy personally, and information literacy explained re-finding of digital information but not non-digital information. The demographic variables in the study did not explain finding/re-finding of stored information: gender ( β = −0.113, p = 0.280) and age ( β = 0.038, p = 0.545). This study establishes clearly the pattern of information literacy activities for faculty in the universities in Ghana.

大学教师的个人信息管理行为——印刷与电子方面

本研究调查了加纳选定大学的教师在数字和印刷媒体中的个人信息创建和存储实践。以抽样调查研究设计为指导，从加纳六所大学的 235 名教职员工中收集了定量数据。定性数据也从 18 名愿意的教职员工那里收集，并以访谈时间表为指导。教师报告说，他们以有组织的方式创建信息，并且与手动相比，他们主要以数字格式创建信息。手头的任务确定了创建的信息设施，并在查找/重新查找电子信息时使用与项目语义相关的搜索词。教职员工报告说，他们亲自获得了信息素养，和信息素养解释了重新寻找数字信息而不是非数字信息。研究中的人口统计变量没有解释对存储信息的查找/重新查找：性别（β = -0.113，p = 0.280）和年龄（β = 0.038，p = 0.545）。本研究清楚地确立了加纳大学教师的信息素养活动模式。
