Abstract

Abstract Identifying dimensions and levels of maturity in digital information management is of high significance for university libraries because it would highly influence their daily businesses and future decisions. The current study is an effort to develop, confirm and test a maturity model for digital information management in the context of university libraries as a response to ever-increasing digital information. A design science approach in qualitative-quantitative order was considered as the research design. Initially, a meta-synthesis was conducted to systematically review the related literature and to develop the conceptual model for dimensions and levels. Afterward, a set of 30 related experts analyzed and confirmed the model with a 95% confidence level. Finally, the maturity levels of 14 central university libraries across Iran were measured through a multiple case study design. The MMDIM (Maturity Model for Digital Information Management) includes 10 dimensions, 20 components and 5 levels. Regarding priorities given to the components by the experts, the digital business model and digital work environment were the first and last priorities respectively. The results showed that most selected libraries were at level three namely slight management of digital information. Moreover, library managers evaluated levels of their maturity which showed that digital processes and operations and digital culture were given the first and last levels respectively. The model could be regarded as a diagnostic tool to identify development needs that could be supported by objectives of other similar libraries.

高校图书馆数字信息管理成熟度模型:设计科学研究

摘要确定数字化信息管理的成熟度维度和水平对高校图书馆的日常业务和未来决策具有重要意义。本研究旨在开发、确认和测试大学图书馆数字信息管理的成熟度模型，以应对不断增长的数字信息。研究设计采用了一种定性-定量的设计科学方法。首先，我们进行了一项综合研究，系统地回顾了相关文献，并建立了维度和层次的概念模型。随后，30名相关专家对模型进行了分析，并以95%的置信度对模型进行了验证。最后，通过多案例研究设计测量了伊朗14所中央大学图书馆的成熟度水平。MMDIM (Maturity Model for Digital Information Management)包括10个维度、20个组成部分和5个层次。就专家们给予各组成部分的优先事项而言，数字化商业模式和数字化工作环境分别是第一和最后一个优先事项。结果表明，大多数选定的图书馆处于三级，即对数字信息的管理程度较低。此外，图书馆管理者对其成熟度的评价表明，数字流程和操作以及数字文化分别被赋予了第一和最后两个级别。该模型可以被视为一种诊断工具，用于识别开发需求，这些需求可以被其他类似库的目标所支持。
