INFO 200 Assignment Q & A 1 week, 5 days agoHey everyone. This isn’t really for a particular assignment just yet but I’m wondering if anyone knows how to cite a subreddit page (both an in-text citation and reference). I’m finding a lot of information on how to cite a comment or specific post, but not the page itself. I’ve looked through APA manual as well. Any guidance would be appreciated 🙂
-
@alobaco This looks like a useful resource:
https://www.bibguru.com/g/apa-reddit-post-citation/
I have a little easier just to Google what you’re trying to do and APA seven and see what comes up. 😀
-
Thank you @michael! Yes I’ve been doing a lot of googling :), but still finding most of the content is about a specific post/comment within reddit. I think I can try to apply the structure to the page itself.

Hi @alobaco, I don’t know if you are familiar with Zotero : https://www.zotero.org/ its a citation manager. It seems overwhelming at first so there is a learning curve to the program but Youtube is helpful for getting started with it. I been using it for a few years and I recommend it or something like it. If you want to avoid a program then there…[Read more]

Hi @philipbusacco! Yes Zotero is great and I’ve been using that a lot. However, I don’t think it works with community based resources- (subbreddit), which I’m looking for more specific answers about.
-
Hi @alobaco.
Here is a citation for Juicy_Slices post. He/She/They are part of my bike commuting community. I use Zotero here is the bibliography citation and an in text citation. Maybe check with Professor Stephens if this is expectable. I’m curious of this as well because my community uses Reddit as well. Hope this helps.Juicy_Slice.…[Read more]

Sorry acceptable not expectable.

Thanks for your help! @philipbusacco

INFO 200 Assignment Q & A 2 weeks, 2 days agoThis isn’t a particularly important question I think, but in Hartel’s The serious leisure frontier reading, on page 233 on #11 under the list of approaches to domain analysis it says “artifical intelligence.” Am I correct in assuming this is a typo for artificial, and that google isn’t just withholding information from me because it assumes I mean…[Read more]
-
Never mind! It is definitely a typo, I looked at another source by Hartel and it is indeed artificial!
-
Hi @nootsnoot, yep! It’s a typo. I confirmed by searching up the original study.
-
Ooh that’s a much better idea, I ended up document searching all the readings so far for like 20 minutes trying to figure out what the heck I missed. ( ˙▿˙ )
-
No worries! Looks like you got there anyway! Just in case you wanted the original study, here it is: https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/00220410210431136/full/pdf?title=domain-analysis-in-information-science-eleven-approaches-traditional-as-well-as-innovative

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoCan anyone explain this one to me? “Emphasis on collaboration among diverse information communities” It is the first of the five characteristics of information communities offered by Fisher and Fulton
-
I think I see this in several ways: if you break up an information community into its lesser demographics, are they still sharing and collaborating? For example, (I’m taking my own info community) if an aspiring artist wants to learn digital art, how can they get that information? Do they have access or is it a closed shop? If they have money,…[Read more]
-
But in your example I don’t see the smaller groups collaborating or sharing. The poor kid has to do an online search and the rich kid gets to go to an academy.
I still don’t get ” a collaboration among diverse providers.”
So the diverse providers are let’s say libraries, archives, websites, community meetings, schools, etc.
And we are supposed…[Read more]-
@michael is there a way you might be able to define this initial point with more clarity? I went back through the lecture and I’m still not seeing some concrete examples of what this might look like, along with Emily here…
-
-
-
I could be wrong but my definition of diverse information communities are organizations, maybe authorities/ professionals in the field or individuals, maybe an amature or hobbiest. There is this co-op of shared information. Example: I’m thinking of astronomy and how many people in that field are not professional astronomers, but still contribute…[Read more]

@emmizo @sarahjuanablack @philipbusacco
My take is that the community is made up of all sorts of folks as Philip notes. These folks provide various bits of information and folks collaborate around those bits… maybe creating something news, organizing, etc. Imagine a subreddit devoted to a certain interest or similar. Members of the SR might…[Read more]
-
@philipbusacco and @michael this is super helpful! So to make sure I’ve got this right: the idea is that all kinds of people who are interested in said topic will find ways to connect and collaborate, such as people interested in comics attending Comic Con, where you can find expert artists/storytellers, actors, fans, and enthusiasts alike.
-
@sarahjuanablack. Yes! Let’s try an example of a medical information community. Think about a group that might come together around those who have a certain disease or condition the members of that information community could be those who have the disease, perhaps medical professionals or folks that have experience, etc. The LIS literature related…[Read more]
-
-
@sarahjuanablack I am not on reddit. What is a subreddit?
-
@emmizo best way to describe it is like a “channel”. If Reddit is the TV, the subreddits are the channels you go to to find special topics (so like MTV or the Food Channel). For example, if I type in “poetry” into the search bar in Reddit, some subreddits that come up might be “poetry critics” “poetry reading” or “poetry SLAM”.
-
-
-
Thanks @philipbusacco! That does help. And thank you @michael for the examples as well. I might hit up Andrew Chae at the library as well. I found quite a few articles last night that are peer reviewed that I think will help me now and later.

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoYes, the examples are a little intimidating. I don’t remember where I read the tip, but when I was really frustrated last night trying to find scholarly articles about my topic, I just started googling things and looking on Facebook and Instagram to see if my community was active there and that actually led me to the names of organized groups in…[Read more]

@emmizo Nice! It is highly recommended to meet with our library liaison as well to discuss search strategies. Andrew Chae is well-versed in this class.

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoHi all! So I’m doing some preliminary research on my group, “digital artists”, and I’m really struggling to find even basic information about them. How is everyone doing rooting for information in the data bases? Are there any key terms you guys have found work well for trying to establish the demographics of your research group? Looking at those…[Read more]

@sarahjuanablack You may need to broaden out a bit in your search terms for something like the information behaviors and needs of artists in general. Then you can apply those studies to your more specific group. Also, meeting with out librarian Andrew Chae can be very useful.…[Read more]

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoOkay, Mellie. I think you are a little crazy, but I also think this could be really fun. I love the Rats of NIMH and I love that you are thinking outside of the box. But you would need to find some scholarly papers in LIS that discuss communities of animals or humans stealing information from another group in order to support their community. Does…[Read more]
-
Oh! I was thinking on focusing on the establishment of human communities, that I would later adapt to critters. Explaining the game was more to give context to where the idea was coming from!
HOWEVER
You did remind me that murders of crows have pretty robust information networks, I’m sure I can find plenty of studies on it, but I wonder if I can…[Read more]
-
I just got off the phone with a friend with a degree in zoology, she said yes I can absolutely connect crows to the 5 characteristics, but also several other animals like mice/rats, meerkats, and bats, to name a few. Now I just gotta find the articles to back it up if @michael thinks its worth doing!
-
@nootsnoot See comment below as well. Our focus is on human information behaviors and how information professionals might serve different info communities. Let’s discuss and figure something out. One thought might be related to game designers??? (just thinking out loud)

Choosing Your Community Discussion 1 month agoThis is going to sound like a wild roundabout question, this is tangentially related to a personal project. I am planning to make a game, it is still super in the conceptual phase. Inspired pretty heavily on the rats from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, where you take a group of critters and information that you learn(steal, honestly) from…[Read more]
-
@nootsnoot I may not be understanding completely what you are proposing. INFO 200 is focused on students doing a deep dive into the LIS literature devoted to human information behavior via the framework of information communities. I think I need more info on what you are thinking to offer thoughts.
-
Of course! My first question was if focusing on the establishment of communities(specifically humans) was a viable option for the research paper, given that I have no idea where to begin with that.
Emily’s interpretation reminded me that animals do in fact establish their own communities much in a similar fashion that we do(How I never thought of…[Read more]
-
@nootsnoot It might be good to look at the assignment examples…especially the various research papers to see what the end product looks like. This class is built to introduce you to the major information behavior theories in LIS and how librarians can apply them to serve communities of users. Also, from the Module 2 lecture is my thoughts on…[Read more]

Alright after going back I think I just fundamentally misunderstood the assignment, my bad!
Would it be better to choose the crafting community? A lot of crafts like sewing, knitting, needlework, and more physically taxing crafts like woodwork take skill and prolonged focus, not to mention tools and equipment. Especially after the Covid-19…[Read more]-
@nootsnoot Oh yes! That is a good choice. The literature devoted to Serious Leisure information behaviors is robust. The LIS studies in this area look at all types of enthusiasts and you can draw comparisons to your group.

@emmizo. Good plan – take a look at the samples. I think your community is viable…just need to see if applicable research in LIS is out there.
