Course Site Help 4 days, 5 hours agoIn Module 9, a link is a bit confusing (or, I’m looking at something wrong):
– Chapter 35 is titled “Information privacy & cybersecurity by Cherie L. Givens.
– Chapter 36 is titled “Intellectual Freedom” by Barbara M. Jones
Can you confirm that we should be looking at Chapter 36? The link seems to reference the wrong chapter & the…[Read more]

The correct link is the James LaRue chapter: Information Services Today, 2nd Edition, Chapter 35 Intellectual Freedom by James LaRue. Retrieved from https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.libaccess.sjlibrary.org/lib/sjsu/reader.action?ppg=469&docID=5295158&tm=1539309631685
I do not see the Givens chapter as a choice in Module 9… are you seeing t…[Read more]

Okay, I can’t quite explain what happened…other than Internet gremlins. When I originally clicked on the link, it returned me to an earlier Fisher & Bishop article in a different issue or volume of the same journal. When I scrolled to chapter 35/36, one was labeled “Intellectual Freedom”…and the confusion just spiraled from there. I think…[Read more]

Oh! I think I know what it was – we are dealing with two editions of the Hirsh text and the link you originally took went to the 1st edition. Apologies!

Information Sources Survey Q & A 1 week, 4 days agoThe information community I’m researching is knitting. I think Raverly suits the community-based source, but I’m struggling with finding a research-based source. I would like to use the book In the Loop: Knitting Now edited by Jessica Hemmings which is an anthology of essays from academics and artists on the construction and perception of knitting…[Read more]

@akochis An edited volume by academics and artists sounds like a perfect fit to me! The level of “academic” really depends on the topic at hand. For your community, this feels like a great resource that a librarian might provide to a member of the community.

Information Sources Survey Q & A 1 week, 5 days agoThe examples show the sources we are surveying are sources for our community not sources about our community. Would it be incorrect to use sources that are about the community rather than sources used by the community?
Thank you
-
HI @mab1044 I could see it going both ways. Both sources should be something that could be potentially used by the community. For example, art historians might use a scholarly encyclopedia of art in the 1600s (research-based source) as well as a an online forum devoted art history ran by the historians themselves. Does that help?
-
Yes, I see how it can go both ways. I am enjoying my community and learning a lot looking at information behaviors through this lens but its a tricky one for this sources surveying assignment. The community shares information in the form of articles with one another but they don’t leave much of a footprint. I see sources both in the style of…[Read more]

@mab1044 Hmmm… is there a platform where they do most of their sharing? That might be the community resource in some respects.Let’s see how this goes. Contact me if you feel it’s not coming together.

Information Sources Survey Q & A 2 weeks agoHi, I have a question about the Source Survey, my information community is on the vegan community, would The Vegan Society https://www.vegansociety.com be an acceptable Research-based source?
Thanks,-
@cristy Yup – I would call this a source for reliable and authoritative info. I looked around the site and the “About Us” section is full and rich, including https://www.vegansociety.com/about-us/research
The community-based source might be a forum, site, or group that exchanges info about veganism that is not as official as the Vegan Society.…[Read more]

Course Site Help 3 weeks, 2 days ago@michael – I’m looking into Blog #3 and I’m wondering if the link to the sample is broken? https://infocom.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/assignment-synthesis-example/

Hi @shawna Please use this: https://infocom.hyperlib.sjsu.edu/assignments/assignment-synthesis/
Where is the old link at? I will correct it. Apologies.

I thought they were going to be examples specific to blog 3.

There is a link to a sample blog post #3 in both of the examples.

Thank you.

Choosing Your Community Discussion 3 weeks, 6 days ago@michael I was thinking about changing the information community I will investigate. Recently, I was invited to, and am attending this weekend, a benefit dinner for the Prison University Project at San Quentin. It made me think about the unique information needs and behaviors of prison inmates. What kind of access do inmates have to sources of…[Read more]
-
@jsteimnitz Not a [problem. I think it would be a good choice. Proceed toward Post #3 with your new community in mind but also work a bit on a description of your new community as we did in Post #2.

Course Site Help 4 weeks agoHello all, I have a question about the backup authentication codes used to enter the course site. Since we have to enter one after a certain of time has passed, and they seem to be inactivated after a single use – I am almost out! I only have 10 codes, and a couple remaining that are active… can we get more? thanks for your help!
-
Hi @mkohlerc I get the code emailed to me each time. It is part of the upgraded security measure required by the university. Let me look into your issue. I don’t understand it all completely.
-
@mkohlerc Try this: From dashboard go into your Profile, then scroll down and locate Two-Factor options –> then enable email or phone as their primary method.
Please try this and let me know. I think email or phone would be best.

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoPhew, choosing an information community is tough! While I have been rather indecisive, I think I finally made a selection: the vision loss community. I have been reading through Fisher and Durrance’s “Five Characteristics of Information Communities” and it seems to share each characteristic. It will be especially interesting to research how the…[Read more]
-
I have had successful papers focusing on the blind as an information community so vision loss would work as well. You can also broaden out to the wider literature devoted to the information behaviors of the physically challenged.
-
Awesome idea, thank you. I am actually going to do that! Considering the length of the research paper, I think it would be better to have the topic a bit broader. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
-
-
I agree, Katie, I have found choosing a community has been more difficult than I thought; there are so many to choose from. Yours sounds really interesting. I think your community sounds really interesting. My step-brother has a disability, so can’t wait to read what you learn!
-
Thank you so much! Hopefully you have been able to select your information community. I look forward to reading your post as well! Thank you for the response!

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoI am considering the community of San Francisco Bay Area bird watchers for an information community. I see these folks at local parks around the Bay Area, and they are incredibly organized, and knowledgeable about the birds they are “stalking,” (my description). When I gab with them, they know the species that is expected to appear on this day at…[Read more]

@joanneshombert Take a look at the literature related to “serious leisure” in information behavior. It might be a good fit. I think you could start there for sure. Also broadening out to info behavior stuff in online communities too.
-
I have this in the queue to share soon: https://www.seriousleisure.net/library–information-science.html
-
Thanks. I compared the behaviors of bird watching groups to Fisher and Durrance’s five characteristics of information communities, and they matched all five characteristics. I have found articles on leisure and information seeking, I just would feel better if there were articles specifically on bird-watching. I found articles on coin-collecting,…[Read more]
-
Thanks. To be clear, do you want at least some articles which specifically discuss our chosen information community? Or if we can’t find any, do we just apply theoretical articles we find that sound relevant to our chosen information community?
-
Tomorrow is not the drop dead date. As I mentioned in the video for our intro post for this week, there is always room to switch if early searches do not yield useful articles. Have you looked at the Lib Guide?
-
Yes I did, thanks. I have been searching for articles all day on the MLK library website in the LISS database using various combinations of subjects, and also out on the wild west web (www). I had already found some of the articles on your link above for serious leisure articles, but just not anything about bird-watching or Audubon-anything.
-
As our library liaison states on the lib Guide – sometimes you have to broaden out. Perhaps send her a message about your searches. I think you are on track though.
