Metadata plays a critical role in ensuring the authenticity, reliability, and accessibility of electronic records. This study proposes a unified metadata framework for Electronic Records Management Systems (ERMS) by analysing three prominent standards: ISO 23081-1:2017, the Minimum Recordkeeping Metadata Requirements (State Records Act 1997), and the Recordkeeping Metadata Standard (East Renfrewshire Council). A qualitative comparative analysis highlights structural, contextual, and content-and-use metadata elements essential for record creation, classification, maintenance, retention, and disposition. The proposed framework integrates best practices to address compliance, system interoperability, and digital preservation. The study concludes with actionable recommendations to support sustainable metadata management in evolving digital environments.

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) face increasing competition in attracting students, and corporate reputation plays a vital role. This study examines the impact of user-generated content (UGC) and social tagging on the corporate reputation of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Despite the recognized importance of social media, limited understanding exists of the specific effects of UGC and social tagging within this context. Using a state-of-the-art review, the research formulates a framework comprising UGC dimensions—corporate image, UGC quality, and UGC trust—and social tagging dimensions—tag contribution, affective social presence, and cognitive social presence. By analyzing these factors and their interrelationships, the study aims to provide actionable insights for HEIs to enhance their corporate reputation through strategic social media engagement. The findings will guide institutions in leveraging UGC and social tagging to strengthen their reputation and achieve competitive advantages in the digital era.

Digital libraries have become an important and valuable platform because they provide easy access to various information and resources that users need. However, as the digital world continues to develop and the technological revolution and so-called technology disruption, becomes increasingly complex, concerns have emerged about the risk of cyber threats and their impact on user privacy and security when accessing digital libraries. Therefore, the objectives of this study focus on present key issues facing digital libraries in relation to privacy and security, evaluating the capacity of digital libraries to respond to emerging threats by studying their preparedness, and seeing if there are current policies or guidelines used by digital libraries in combating the cyber threats. The study outcome suggests developing a strategy for enhancement by looking at three areas, improving the current framework, producing new guidelines or policy suits for digital libraries, and developing a prototype based on AI technology to mitigate the cyber threats.

Social media platforms provide numerous benefits, such as global connectivity and rapid information sharing, but they also pose significant challenges, including managing interactions and assessing content reliability. Many users report feeling overwhelmed by excessive information and uncertainty regarding its accuracy. This study explores three research questions: (i) How does social media utilization influence perceived information disorder experience? (ii) How does social media utilization influence perceived information overload? and (iii) To what extent does perceived information disorder experience mediate the relationship between social media utilization and information overload? Using an online questionnaire, data were collected from Malaysian internet users to measure key constructs. The findings reveal that social media utilization is positively associated with perceived information disorder experience. However, the direct link between social media utilization and information overload was not significant. Importantly, perceived information disorder experience mediates this relationship. These findings have practical implications for social media designers, policymakers, and educators. Designers should address algorithmic biases that prioritize engagement over content accuracy, reducing exposure to disinformation. Policymakers can advocate for stricter content moderation regulations and tools for identifying unreliable information. Educators can enhance media literacy programs, equipping users to critically evaluate information and mitigate the negative effects of information disorder and overload.
