We&#8217;re charging toward<br \/>\nthe &quot;paperless university.&quot;  As I understand the sales pitch<br \/>\n(which has already been accepted&#8230;we&#8217;re in the planning stages), the<br \/>\ninstitution will save lots of money by transforming its documents into <acronym title=\"Tagged Image File Format\">TIFF<\/acronym><br \/>\nimages which can be over-layered with add-ons to replicate paper<br \/>\ndocuments.  That&#8217;s the promise, anyway.  In the meeting, I learned<br \/>\nthat I&#8217;m a database nut; information, <acronym title=\"In my humble opinion\">IMHO<\/acronym>, is most useful when it&#8217;s most malleable,<br \/>\nwhen it can be sorted and grouped, arranged and randomized apart from paper or a static image.  I&#8217;m talking about institutional data now, lists of names and<br \/>\nassociated details, mostly. But the meeting wasn&#8217;t about that.  It was set<br \/>\nup to inform Xerox about &quot;workflow&quot; in our department.  <\/p>\n<p>Postman tells us that one of the active agents in a technopoly is <i>bureaucracy<\/i><br \/>\n(the others are experts and technical machinery, following his taxonomy).<br \/>\nThe data-gathering form is one of the sublets of the bureaucracy; bureaucracy<br \/>\nis, like a rubber ball (my metaphor, not Postman&#8217;s), ever-redirecting between<br \/>\ntwo inevitable forces in a technologized culture&#8211;<i>information glut<\/i> and <i>efficiency models<\/i>.  Many advanced data management technologies are in place to assist with the problem of information retrieval, tracking, analysis and storage.  But I think there&#8217;s a cultural lag forming; actually, it&#8217;s been long forming&#8211;most of my life,<br \/>\nprobably.  Or longer.  The lag, simply put, looks like a wedge between<br \/>\nthe capabilities of the technology to aid information processing in a bureaucratic system and the bureaucrats themselves, many who don&#8217;t have time, inclination or interest in their appointment-littered work-lives to keep up with the technology, which is rabbitting along at a rapid pace.  Enter Xerox.  <\/p>\n<p>The solution Xerox promises, given these conditions, is a stopgap, a way of<br \/>\nfending off the technopolistic forces from crushing institutional functioning<br \/>\nunder the weight of too much information (too much to process, to understand, to<br \/>\nread, to apply, and so on).  It&#8217;s a patch, sold on the promise of greater<br \/>\nefficiency, but&#8211;at least today&#8211;the aim wasn&#8217;t revisiting the value of the<br \/>\ninformation.  The stopgap appeals to the paper-loving bureaucrat who often<br \/>\nasks for more information than is really ever needed&#8211;a kind of insurance of<br \/>\nexcess.  I don&#8217;t want to sound unaffectionate when I say bureaucrat.<br \/>\nThe name bears certain negative connotations, but I&#8217;m using it here as Postman<br \/>\ndoes to refer to one of the <i>active agents in a technopoly<\/i>.  Back to<br \/>\nthe meeting.  Rather than interrogating the <i>value of information<\/i>,<br \/>\nthe focus was on ease of flow (conduction) and ease of access to old records<br \/>\n(storage).  And these are legitimate problems for the administrator whose<br \/>\ndesk is littered with papers.  I spent the meeting wondering whether we&#8217;ll<br \/>\nhave more critical, discerning relationships with institutional data any time<br \/>\nsoon or whether, as Postman posits, we&#8217;ll continue to watch information excess<br \/>\nencroach on our lives at the expense of cultural orientations, social<br \/>\ninteractions, rational agency in decision-making (rather than following the lead<br \/>\nof data), and humanism.  Those aren&#8217;t the only two possibilities by any<br \/>\nmeans.  But they are patterns suggested by Postman, and, after reading<br \/>\nabout them, I&#8217;m seeing how information glut and efficiency models are reconditioning the student services side of higher ed&#8211;at one institution.  After a half hour, I figured I&#8217;d take a few notes (so as to have some information of my very own).  <i>Copy<\/i> was the most-used word (32 times in one hour and 15<br \/>\nminutes)&#8211;slightly ahead of <i>form<\/i> and <i>file<\/i>, and well ahead of <i>information<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Sat in a meeting with Xerox reps this morning.
