@kristin I would advise against anything like a case study. That is a research methodology as well and could cause trouble. I would suggest focusing on literature searching and exploring how the community […]

@jdalipe That sounds good. You can focus on fiction writers but also pull in broader studies of info behaviors of writers.

@hwalker Sounds good. Any type of literature on info behaviors of fans might be applicable too. See also Henry Jenkins for his participatory culture and fan stuff.

@winterv I like the way you are thinking. I love the idea of costume designers but I do not know how much info behavior stuff you would find on them or similar. Any type of blogger community would be interesting – could pull in all the lit on info exchange etc in virtual spaces. Folklore is fascinating too – they could be scholars (thus pulling in…[Read more]

@michael Thank you! I found plenty for virtual worlds, some focusing on Second Life, which is most promising. Will most likely stick with virtual worlds and/or Second Life, am kind of bummed I couldn’t find what I wanted for the other topics, but my searches for those were probably in obscure territory.

It might be good to see, for example, what interests you if you search information behaviors of people who work in the field of language….

@michael OK, I think I understand now more what you meant about going broader – like use broader research that can be related to the info community. I don’t think I made that connection before now… Thank you so much for your responses, really helpful and makes me reinspired for the topic. I also emailed the LIS librarian last night and asked for…[Read more]

@abrindle This is a great question. Here’s my thought: if you can find enough related LIS research, it would work well. Translators may have information needs similar to other groups that work with language, in service positions, etc. It might be good to explore the topic a bit and see what is out there. As I have said in other conversations here,…[Read more]
