About

Aderinola Ololade Dunmade is a forward-thinking researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of information science and technological disruption. Her primary research areas focus on the transformation of records management and the evolving role of information professionals within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Dunmade’s major contribution lies in her incisive analysis of how traditional archival and information management practices must adapt to the realities of automation, artificial intelligence, and digital ecosystems. Her seminal chapter, "Records Management in the Fourth Industrial Revolution" (2020, 4 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding both the challenges and strategic pathways for modernizing record-keeping in a rapidly digitizing world. Building on this, her 2023 mixed-methods study, "Information Professionals of the Future and their Prospects in the Era of Fourth Industrial Revolution," specifically examines the transformative potential required for Nigerian information professionals to remain relevant and effective. By mapping the necessary skills and institutional shifts, Dunmade’s work serves as a crucial guide for educators, policymakers, and practitioners navigating the future of information stewardship in developing economies.
