Relevance of information quality studies in information systems education in Australia

Tertiary degrees in Information Systems offered in Australian Universities seem to align in favor of advertised job requirements. The advertisements themselves are influenced by the understanding and awareness of the actual requirements of the job by the advertisement writer/ publisher. Often, replicated from other websites or old documents, these advertisements may offer misleading insights into the actual requirements of long term employment in a particular Information Systems related field. This research aims to investigate the requirement for Information Quality skills in Information System related jobs. This will ultimately assist Information Systems curriculum developers to update existing Information Systems course structures to meet Information Quality technical skill demands in long term Information Systems employment.
