Hello, all! I currently have two different communities that I’m debating between. The first community would be the gluten-free community. I am not gluten-free myself but I have several family members who were recently diagnosed as Celiac and can already sort of visualize the information needs of that community.
The second community I’m…[Read more]

Hi Jessica!
There are a few aspects that I think can be explored with film archival/preservation. First off, the community would seek information regarding the actual mechanics of preservation of the different types of mediums and their formats. For example what kind of equipment is needed to transfer the analog medium into a digitized version.?…[Read more] -
@jessabelle I have actually had a few good papers on film preservationists. It’s such an interesting area and you can actually pull in related communities such as archivists, digital preservationists, etc to explore the information behaviors and needs of this group. The gluten-free community would probably fall into reviewing and synthesizing…[Read more]

Hi everyone! I’ll be honest, I haven’t listened to podcasts in a long, long, time. I think the last podcast I listened to was the Radio Disney podcast when I was like 14 haha! I’m wanting to dabble back into the podcast world, so I’m excited to read everyone’s suggestions and discover something new!

Hello everyone, I have been doing a lot of thinking about my information community and one of the topics that really struck my interest in the list that was provided to us was “Harry Potter Fans.” I know that there are many information communities to choose from, but when I thought about one that really interested me right and one that I would…[Read more]
-
@carrie412 the Harry Potter information community is actually the very first community we highlighted as an example back when we redid Information 200 in 2014. Since then, there has been research, devoted to fan communities, and serious leisure enthusiast. That would really illuminate this community. I’m glad you mentioned the issue with J. K.…[Read more]

Greetings everyone. I’m happy to see some conversation starting here. One thing to think about as you decide on your community choice: perhaps consider a community that you could one day serve in an information environment that could be any type of library, etc. and any type of community.

Hello! Is anyone else struggling to choose an information community? I kind of feel like there are too many to choose but also worry about having enough information regarding any community I might select.
-
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]
-
@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.

-
I’m right there with you, Katelyn! I have a few ideas, but when I spend time researching articles, I feel like I’m grasping at straws. (Although I know some of our resources will be about information seeking itself.) Plus I don’t know if they’ll hold my interest through the variety of writings that lay ahead. Personally, I’m a little over the…[Read more]
-
I think this is somehow quite difficult if you’re working closely with an information community already. I keep getting stuck on the primary information community that I serve every day at work. Is it the same for you working in the children’s department?
I don’t know about your library, but at ours fantasy juvenile fiction and juvenile…[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]
-
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]
-
@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]
