In this session, Mochammad Riski Destrianto, S.Hum. who is often called Riski, shared about information repackaging products with their respective advantages and disadvantages. This product can be used by libraries as library materials. Infographics, video graphics, and data visualization are some of the most common examples of information repackaging products. Apart from that, Riksi explained the stages of creating information-repackaging products and potential sources for information-repackaging products.
The participants’ interest in listening to the material given by Riski was quite high. Participants actively asked about repackaging information. Riski answered the question directly. “In your opinion, does the statement about information repackaging disrupt the reader’s concentration and change the user’s information behavior patterns considering that repackaged information products are read briefly?” asked one of the participants. Riski immediately answered with the knowledge and experience he had.
