Abstract

What is risk-informed information practice and why is it important? This chapter establishes and sets out the premise for risk-informed information practice, including through presenting key concepts and highlighting the value of exploring the relationship between information literacy and risk in more detail. The chapter starts by defining and presenting the two entwined concepts that form the basis for the theorisation of risk-informed information practice, information literacy and risk. These sections subsequently pave the way for the definition of risk-informed information practice, which is presented in relation to a series of initial guiding themes and concepts. The chapter then establishes the three case studies, which in focusing on key dimensions of risk- risk perception, risk understanding and risk management- establish the basis for the elaboration of risk-informed information practice. The chapter finishes with an overview of the structure of the book as well as its overarching purpose.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
