Today has been the most Monday-est Tuesday ever..so please forgive me, I’m sure this information is one click away. I swear I’ve seen it somewhere, (or maybe I’m making it up!) but was there a max word count for […]

This applies for all our writing assignments, but wanted to double check if word count applies just to the main text of our writing, or if references and title page contribute? Thanks!

Hey 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.
-
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]

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

Dear @michael (Professor Stephens), I am reading articles by both Jenna Hartel and Robert Stebbins on SLP for my paper. Hartel credits Stebbins for coining the phrase “serious leisure” in 1982, but she has also […]

Hello, everyone! It’s been interesting reading everyone’s information community choices and seeing all of the variety there is! I’ve been giving my choice some thought too, and I think I want to focus on a topic that relates to the medical field, whether that be on a certain group of medical professionals like doctors, or on immigrants and how…[Read more]
-
@qminmin253 I have had many strong papers on the information behaviors and needs of immigrants. I recall one student working on the information behaviors in needs of doctors and I think it might’ve been a bit of a struggle, but there could be more research now. I think either of these would be viable, depending on what Research is out there.

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about the topic of tiny homes. It’s a community that I have always found fascinating but can never do myself (it feels too claustrophobic). The more I think about it, the topic can branch off into mobile/permanent tiny homes or even tiny homes vs tiny living (such as small condos). I haven’t done much research…[Read more]
-
@janetkong yes, tiny homes is one of our assignment synthesis. Examples and you will see that the student pulled from literature related to minimalism and information behaviors as well. There is also a thriving online community devoted to tiny home, living with YouTube channels, such as Living Big in a tiny house, etc..

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking of picking the 3D Printing community for my choice. I am not in this community but I do have some friends who are and it seems so interesting. There have been many innovations that I have seen in my research so far including industrial sized 3D printers that I hope to learn more about!
-
@spalmerdiaz I have had successful papers on makers of all kinds and 3-D printing community would fall under the banner for sure. There is some useful research related to the information behaviors, and needs of makers. I think serious leisure would come in to play here as well.

Hi everybody! I hope it is becoming a little easier to decide on your chosen community. In my case, I keep over thinking everything haha! When I last posted I was considering either the gluten free community or the film preservation community. Since then, I have added another option to the mix!
I’ve thought a lot about focusing on international…[Read more]
-
@jessabelle this is also a viable community to pursue. I think they would be great interest in the academic library community on meeting the needs of international students so the research is most probably robust.
-
Thanks @michael that’s exactly what I was thinking. I think I’ve decided on my community! Yippee!
-
@jessabelle Yay!!

@jessabelle I have decided to examine first generation college students – similar to your topic. I look forward to reading your blog post.

Hi @mkane that sounds like a great topic to explore! I look forward to reading yours as well 🙂

Hey everyone,
So I have been giving my topic some considerable thought (Harry Potter Fans community) and I have decided that I am going to switch my community over to D&D (Dungeons and Dragons community). When I started considering how this will help me later down the road in my career I thought that D&D might be a better choice because there are…[Read more] -

Hi all!
I’ve been seeing the terms “serious leisure” and “fandom” in relation to lenses and frameworks, and I feel silly for asking this, but where can I find more information on these? Are they in our resources somewhere? I combed through the lectures and readings given so far, and can’t seem to find anything on these frameworks. Help please!

@masterkeyper We are moving into the 2 modules focused on info behavior models and theories. For right now, you can read a bit about Serious Leisure on this page:
