Thank you for the extensions! It definitely helps take the pressure off when trying to prioritize assignments with other courses.

Thank you for sharing that reading! I want to share it with my colleagues as a reminder about our core values and passion that brought us to the library to begin with. Have a blessed day!

Thank you @michael for the extensions! Life and work overload has not been very conducive to study lately so it’s much appreciated!

Thank you for the speedy reply @michael! I wanted my primary topic to be amateur historians, but I might have to change my focus to history enthusiasts in general. I think that including some related topics such as historical societies, re-enactment, and fan groups can flesh it out further.
Most of the peer-reviewed articles I’m finding are…[Read more]

Choosing Your Community Discussion 2 months, 1 weeks agoHey everyone, I know our blog post #2 is just around the corner but I’m wondering if anyone else is worried about finding adequate peer-reviewed references. I thought I would find plenty with my chosen topic, but I’m struggling! Most of the specific resources I’ve been able to find are dissertations, and it’s also been challenging to find…[Read more]

Hello @kataloging – Did you choose historical re-enactors? I have had successful papers on this group and similar, usually through the enthusiasts/serious leisure perspective.

@kataloging Sounds good. And the primary focus should always be information behaviors and needs of the chosen community.

Hey @kevinm! Sorry for disappearing on you there, work was completely hectic this week!
I’m glad that you’re back to considering child communities again! I keep thinking back to your introductory post in 203 and how you seemed so passionate about the children’s department. Of course you should go whichever direction you feel most solid with, but…[Read more]

I think this is somehow quite difficult if you’re working closely with an information community already. I keep getting stuck on the primary information community that I serve every day at work. Is it the same for you working in the children’s department?
I don’t know about your library, but at ours fantasy juvenile fiction and juvenile…[Read more]

Hi @kataloging! I’m actually not working in a children’s department yet, although that’s the goal. Obviously that Information Community is of high interest to me, and I really like your ideas (especially the graphic novel side of things). But I also know I’ll be exploring the community in depth in some of my electives, and I’m intrigued by this…[Read more]

Hi again @kataloging. How’s it coming on your end? I find myself flip flopping between ideas. I’m now back to leaning toward children as a community, partially because of a picture book lecture I attended at a work event that reminded me of my enthusiasm for the topic at large, and also because I love interacting with the kids at the desk as they…[Read more]

@kataloging No reason to apologize at all! This was just me with thoughts swirling around my head trying to figure this puppy out. You’re right about my passion for the children’s department, and I’m excited to figure out where I land with the subject matter. I know we still have a little time, but I want to better visualize where I’m going with…[Read more]

Thanks for the reassurance that I just need to finish through the Module 2 content before I think too intensely about it. I still have a lot of reading left to complete!

@kataloging That is right on target! The examples are there to help students and we work hard to find the best from each semester to highlight.

Choosing Your Community Discussion 2 months, 4 weeks agoHello! Is anyone else struggling to choose an information community? I kind of feel like there are too many to choose but also worry about having enough information regarding any community I might select.
-
Hello @kataloging – It is early on so it can feel a little worrisome. Module 1 will give you the characteristics of Information Communities and offer some examples. Module 2 will help with some ideas about research. Feel free to post your ideas here etc.

I’m right there with you, Katelyn! I have a few ideas, but when I spend time researching articles, I feel like I’m grasping at straws. (Although I know some of our resources will be about information seeking itself.) Plus I don’t know if they’ll hold my interest through the variety of writings that lay ahead. Personally, I’m a little over the…[Read more]
