Hello everyone, looking through the list of past successful information communities to research on, I’m debating between many of them: Crafters, Fiction Writers, Hobbyist Cooks, Book Authors. But I’m definitely leaning more towards Crafters.

I’m thinking about the citizen science community in America. I distantly recall watching a documentary about community members of Flint, Michigan researching their own water supply to first report the issues, and how they began their efforts at their library.
A similar, but darker, alternative I am considering is “mis-information” communities,…[Read more]

@sjhan95 The citizen scientist community is super interesting and there is research in LIS for sure… it would also fall into the larger category of Serious Leisure / Enthusiasts. The misinformation community might be a little trickier. I do not recall a flat earth’s paper but I did have a successful paper on anti-vaxxers misinformation communities.

Hey all,
I’m considering a few alternatives for my subject community. The ones I’m most interested in currently are 1) Clergy and 2) Recent refugees in the SF Bay Area. #1 will need refinement, but there seems to be a decent literature base and some articles with helpful calls for further research. #2 is maybe more interesting to me, but I have…[Read more]

@tlueders I think you will find more LIS research on refugees than clergy. I recall one or two papers on info behaviors of pastors. The LIS literature on refugees of all kinds feels more robust. Might be worth some plenary searches. You can use studies on the info behaviors of refugees in general and apply them to your locally focused choice.

I’m considering to choose elderly community for my research paper. I want to focus on elderly people in California who use library services. I’m struggling on gadering enough information for my research paper.
-
Hey Dao,
Maybe look at Senior Homes in your community and library services that cater to them. I know libraries offer tons of activities for older adults through other organizations. An example, art and crafts, art talks, special speakers, classes, outings (I think).
Something else to consider, senior homes in rural areas that don’t have access…[Read more]

@daotran I have had many successful papers over the years on the information behaviors and needs of the senior community. You can use the broader LIS literature and related to those in California.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi folks!
If anyone else was having trouble adding the hanging indent in WordPress for your blog posts, I found a helpful bit of code on a WordPress forum that did the trick. Hope you find it helpful too.

Hey all! This is not a request but I wanted to share something I learned that may help your formatting needs.
@Michael correctly points out that it is not easy to use indents (hanging or otherwise) on the WordPress blog editor. I did some googling and found this forum post that offers an HTML script that will construct a hanging indent…[Read more]

@Michael when I was reading over the blog instructions, it states “Submit each Blog Report URL to Canvas on the due date” am I being too literal if I interpret that as we only submit it on the due date only? I just want to clarify if we can submit before the due date as well?
-
Hello @sweetmj – you can submit any time up until the due date at 11:59pm PT. 😀

Hi All! I don’t really listen to podcasts, thought I did listen to the one called Lore. It was a folk/myth/supernatural historical tale telling one, that was mild-level horror at times (about the only amount of horror I can handle). I’ve included the link: https://www.lorepodcast.com/

Hi, everyone! I was wondering if I could get some help with some tips on citing a picture in #blogreport1. How do we go about citing/captioning a meme or screenshot? Would we follow the rules for a stock image? Also, I know it was mentioned in the assignment description that it is hard to create a hanging indent in WordPress, so will we be…[Read more]

@awilliams1998 No penalties for that… you may choose whatever image citation you would like for blogging. This might be useful:

@michael Thank you so much for the information, and I will make sure to check out the link!

@pythao These are all good! Crafters is a good choice. They would also fall into the broader category of Serious Leisure / Enthusiasts. I have had many, many successful papers on all manner of makers.
