National Information

In December 1973 the Prime Minster of Jamaica appointed a National Council on Libraries, Archives and Document Services (NACOLADS) to advise the government on the development of an integrated network information system. It was thought that this could best be done by using UNESCO's NATIS concept. Several working parties were established, and among their recommendations were the creation of a series of networks as the basis of a national information system, the establishment of a National Library (achieved in 1979), new legislation for the National Archives and Records Center (passed in 1982), and copyright legislation, with provision for legal deposit. NACOLADS incorporated all the recommendations into a national information plan, published in 1978. A revised edition in 1986 included recommendations for redressing a number of shortcomings (e.g. the need for improved salaries and conditions of service). In 1990 NACOLADS was renamed NACOLAIS (National Council on Libraries, Archives and Information Systems), and given additional responsibility for the expansion of NATIS in Jamaica. A copyright law was eventually passed in 1993, but laws for a national information policy and legal deposit remain to be enacted. Some believe that the experience of NATIS in Jamaica can be used as a model for the establishment of national information systems in other small Third World countries.

The National Library of Venezuela, now 141 years old, has 900 staff and a 1988 budget of $14.5 million. Its stock of c.2 million items includes over 1 million books and manuscripts, 15,000 periodicals, and audiovisual materials. Many changes have taken place since 1974 during a process of modernization, as part of a project to create a national information system, including the development of a National Audiovisual Archive (the first in Latin America) and the creation of a conservation service. During this time the National Library has also carried out a series of actions to support and promote the national book industry. As a result of the experience accumulated, the National Library is able to serve as a reference point for other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in planning and developing their own services and national systems.

Basic Features

When exploring the relationship between users and information systems, it is necessary to ascertain what impact the user's basic features have on their experience of the information systems they use in their work. Accordingly, this survey was conducted in the Government of Brčko within the district of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and within the Public company Brčko Municipality. The survey was conducted on 479 employees, while 261 employees completed the questionnaire developed for this research. When measuring the basic characteristics of the respondent’s gender was considered, as well as the work place, age, qualifications, their work experience and the amount of use of the information system weekly. When measuring the experience of using the information system, a modified model of performance of the information system was used. The SPSS 20.0 statistical software tool was applied during the testing of the proposed hypothesis, and the multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA) and the variance analysis (ANOVA) were used for the analysis. A factor analysis was used with the grouping of the proposed claims. The results obtained using this analysis show that in the modified model of success of the information system the statements were grouped into 4 factors. The hypothesis test results have shown that there is a significant statistical dependence on the use of information systems in almost all features of a user, except for the age of users where there is no statistical dependence. The results obtained from this research will contribute to a better understanding of how users experience information systems in their work and what basic features of the respondents affect the use of the system.

The Government

Several terms are used by the Government to collect data on the spread of covid-19's cases, namely People Under Surveillance (ODP), Patients Under Supervision (PDP), dead and positively infected. The Aceh government provides information on the spread of the covid-19 case through the official website media. Data of the cases are displayed daily based on the reports from districts / cities. District / city governments provide information based on reports from hospitals, health centers and from existing posts in each village. The unavailability of a data collection information system that can be used jointly in recording the spread of Covid-19 cases can lead to data duplication, because data collection is carried out according to individual needs. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to design and build a dissemination information system that can be used jointly between the village posts, sub-district offices, community health center (puskesmas) and hospitals. This research produces a website-based information system prototype for data collection on the spread of Covid-19 cases and API data services in the form of REST web services. Web Services are built using REST web services that generate request and response data using the JSON data format. The web services built can be used for integration with district / city and provincial government information systems, so that data changes can occur in real time.

Network Information

Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, network information technology is widely applied to various enterprise departments. In order to meet the increasing social needs, power companies have also built power network information systems. The establishment of the network information system has been put into use, which has greatly improved the efficiency of the power enterprise. However, the security risks of network information systems have followed. Once the network is damaged by the attack, it will cause the power system to fail to operate normally, which will inevitably cause significant losses. Power system information security issues threaten the security of the power system and the entire power industry. Studying the information security of power systems, how to protect the power information network from threats, how to ensure the safe and stable supply of electricity to the whole society, and striving to develop a safe and effective power network information system is an important issue facing the development of information technology.

Information systems are one of the objects of public relations regulated by information-legal norms. An information system is a regulated set of information technologies and documents. The existence of an appropriate legal framework for the regulation of information systems is important. After gaining independence, one of the main goals and objectives of the state was to form an appropriate legislative framework in this area. The formation and development of information systems is one of the important components of national information policy. This article examines information systems, national legal practice in regulating information systems, comparative analysis of the legal framework as part of national information policy and current issues. Key words: information systems, regulation of information systems, information legislation, national information policy, national legal practice

Integrated Information

Integrated information systems enable governments to provide better services to citizens. With the aid of such systems, citizens and service agents are able to communicate and resolve issues faster and with ease. The present study looks at an integrated information system employed in a government call centre in South India to gauge its value for the government and citizens. A holistic evaluation of the integrated information system was made in order to identify the impact on governance-centric values for citizen services. Analysis of call logs, process flows, citizen feedback and web-presence led to an understanding of aspects that disable better utilization of the integrated information systems for citizen-centric services. The call centre lagged in efficient resource allocation, agent utilization and process flow that are essential for creating value for the government by improving operations and processes. Citizen-centric values that were affected emerged mainly from the inadequateness in service quality and paucity of digital access. Resource utilization, process efficiency, higher participation by citizens through the digital medium and citizen satisfaction were seen as areas that could impact services offered to the citizens positively.
