Thank you @kataloging for bringing this up, as I was having the same concern. @michael, Would it be of benefit/possible to upload URLs to any comments made/conversations had from the blogs, as well? Thank you!

@kataloging I see the comment on @kevinm ‘s #5. I see you made a comment on an earlier post but for some reason it is not showing up. Do not worry. I take that into account.

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

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.

Hi everyone! Much like @kataloging, I am also feeling somewhat overwhelmed with the process of choosing an information community to focus on; however, by looking at the examples from the list of successfully researched information communities (https://infocom.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/assignments/successful-information-communities/), I was able to gain a…[Read more]

Hi @masterkeyper! I think these are all great ideas. I keep flip flopping back and forth between ideas myself. Every time I think I’ve decided, I start going back to a different idea.
I would imagine just using the Disney community alone would supply a good amount of research, as there are so many aspects to Disney that the community could seek…[Read more]

@kevinm I’m laughing out loud as I read your comment about flip flopping back and forth between ideas. I’m right there with you! In some ways I feel like I’ve already researched three communities!
-
@mkane Haha oh yeah I think I literally *have* researched three communities. It’s been a real ping pong game inside my head. It’s nice to have company in this regard. I think I’m pretty close to decided, but I now have to sift through what I’ve found and make sense out of it all!

@masterkeyper these are all very strong choices, and I’ve had successful papers on all three communities. There is significant literature in library, information science on serving the unhoused, as well as the information behaviors, and needs of the unhoused. Author Ryan Dowd has written on the topic as well for ALA. As to the other communities,…[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]

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]

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]

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]

@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.

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.
-
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! The Assignment Synthesis Examples (https://infocom.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/assignments/assignment-synthesis/) definitely helped frame what kind of style and detail I should…[Read more]

Hello @kataloging – Recording links are shared as soon as they are processed. 😀
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]
