Improving access to digital information resources through the development of a knowledge taxonomy

The study aims to develop a taxonomy based on the pool of information resources in the areas of teaching and learning and academic leadership available in different formats at the Institute of Leadership, Evaluation and Development (iLEAD), Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia which conducts various training programmes for academic staff and has accumulated a substantial amount of training resources over the past few years. Data is gathered through the content analysis method to develop candidates of taxonomy terms. The product of this research would considerably enhance the retrieval of information by participants of the training programmes and members of the university and could be applied to similar agencies under the umbrella of the Ministry of Higher Education as a guide for information managers to add value and repackage their information resources.
