Abstract(s)
The independent information professional (IIP) is an entrepreneur skilled in finding and elaborating information; this figure is represented by the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP), which presently has over 700 members worldwide. The issue of certification for IIPs has been discussed, particularly in the late 1990s, yet the underlying view is that a single form of certification is impractical considering the varied backgrounds, skills and professional roles assumed by IIPs. This brief presentation introduces the figure of the IIP, describes the different ways in which they currently prove credentials, and suggests some future ways that the activities of IIPs might be certified.
Il libero professionista dell'informazione o independent information professional (IIP) è un imprenditore esperto nella ricerca ed elaborazione delle informazioni; questa figura viene rappresentata dalla Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP), che attualmente conta oltre 700 soci in tutto il mondo. La certificazione degli IIP è stata discussa, soprattutto nella seconda metà degli anni Novanta, ma l'impressione generale è che sia difficile raggruppare con un unico tipo di certificazione le diverse attività, capacità e professioni. Questa presentazione introduce la figura dell'IIP, descrive i modi diversi in cui attualmente le credenziali vengono presentate, ed accenna ad alcune future possibilità di certificazione.
