Wow, I failed that “How to Spot a Troll” quiz miserably…and I consider myself to be a somewhat savvy social media consumer. That’s eye-opening!

Greetings all – I hope you are all safe and well.

Is this fake news? Is this disinformation? Or is this truth and is this true information? And do I want to share it? This module explores the impact of […]

This semester has definitely been a wild ride. Got a bit behind on reading and class participation as a result; starting to get a chance to catch up this week. May now be posting on things that are a few weeks old…

That does make for a useful lens through which to consider information behaviors. My information community (physicians) has a lot of norms in place, in part because of how regulated practicing medicine is in most […]

One of the big articles I used, which showed up the most in blog #3, was to study the practical side of a model the authors had recently developed, called the Information Seeking and Communication Model. It’s not […]

Here is my first attempt at describing my information community for the research paper. Any thoughts or suggestions? @michael and anyone else that wants to give feedback – thanks in advance!

Modern Crafters share a commonality and work together to share information to support that commonality (Fisher & Bishop, 2015). The Modern Crafting…[Read more]

  @marissa72 Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate all the citations you got into the description and the vivid picture you created of what crafters do (and the timely bit about the pandemic).

My early morning routines include short meditation and yoga sessions. Then, I take short walks every single day after lunch, and I hike with my family and friends every Sunday morning. It became such a great routine since the pandemic. I don’t know what I would do without these life-changing habits!

@jcluther You are welcome! It was my pleasure to put it together and I am happy you are finding it helpful. In the making of the page, I started watching the videos myself and I found them really helpful for my own work too!

@cperucci I agree about book challenges or challenges related to ideas and knowledge in general on the uptick. It’s disheartening.

You make an interesting point. I hope the librarian would assist the teacher […]

@niccoann Thanks for sharing this. You use citations to strong advantage in these two paragraphs. 🙂

Here’s my super work-in-progress definition of the artist community that I am currently researching:

One component of Oxford English Dictionary’s lengthy definition of an artist is most relevant for my p […]

I don’t work in a library, but I have paid close attention to the banned book issue, particularly kids books. I’ve always been very purposeful about ensuring that my kids read a wide variety of books, and many of […]
Michael Stephens commented on the post, INFO 200 Update: Action Items for LRM/Blogs, on the site INFO 200 – Information Communities 5 days, 23 hours ago

Hi @niccoann I would suggest choosing the 8 “best” articles you have found that inform your view of the group’s information needs and behaviors. If the articles are all about artists, that’s fine.
Nicola Cicchetti commented on the post, INFO 200 Update: Action Items for LRM/Blogs, on the site INFO 200 – Information Communities 6 days ago

My community is composed of artists, musicians, and writers. Should my LRM include all these communities or just the literature on artists that I have found so far?

Thank you @elizabeth2454! Dr. Hartel’s videos are such a fantastic resource, her method of breaking down/translating theories and papers is incredibly helpful.

@jlowe All good questions. Here are a few more: Have there been any challenges to materials in the SMC? Have students been asked what they want?

I advocate wholeheartedly for reflective practice for […]
