Hi, I just want to share that I so appreciate the required reading of “The Library is the Hummingbird.” I’m sharing it with my staff, who last year voted on a team mascot to represent our library and its employees […]

Hi! I am feeling good about the pace I’ve taken with the LRM and it really has helped me understand and think about my sources better. I have lots of major assignments happening all at the same time, but the […]

@kevinm and @michael thank you both for your input! I think it will be interesting because it’s a community that’s constantly changing. People seek and then gain employment, so there’s a lot of movement in and out of the community. And different job seekers’ needs will vary so much, so there will be a broad range of information needs all with a…[Read more]

Choosing Your Community Discussion 2 months, 3 weeks agoI have a little brain dump document going for brainstorming my information community, but I’m feeling pretty excited about perhaps researching “job seekers” as an information community. I’m wondering if this is too broad. I already very much enjoy assisting job seekers at work in a public library and Career Services Librarian is my tentative…[Read more]

I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s too broad. As an overall community they have a specific goal and reason to seek and gather information. There’s definitely a good amount of information you may find to explore, but I feel it’s a fairly distinct community.
-
@agroves This is a good choice. I do not know how many specific slides may focus on job seekers but there are surely applicable studies in LIS. The professional practice side will be super interesting for sure. As to theoretical framework perhaps ELIS or ISP? There are probably very interesting online spaces for jobseekers as well.

@agroves I like your topic, and it sounds like it will help you for your future career! One thing I thought of is to also research about “major life transitions” or “career transitions”, and it might lead you to more insight on your information community. It might extend your search some more, but it might also retrieve info from other disciplines…[Read more]

Hey, Daniel! Are you an all-around Pokemon super fan? Or are you specifically into the videogames, but maybe not the trading cards? Or not playing competitively? How about the anime series? As my spouse is constantly reminding me, “Pokemon is the most popular franchise in the world,” so it has a lot of subcommunities with different information…[Read more]

Hi Asia. You make really great points! I’m definitely just a fan of the video games and the lore, and I could definitely look at other subcommunities like competitive players or Pokemon Go players. Those two are the ones that I’m more interested in. Thanks for helping me think things through!
