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

Never mind! It is definitely a typo, I looked at another source by Hartel and it is indeed artificial!

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]

Hi @nootsnoot, yep! It’s a typo. I confirmed by searching up the original study.

Mellie commented on the post, SJCPL Response to Book Challenges, on the site INFO 200 – Information Communities 3 weeks, 3 days ago
I’ve always been incredibly uncomfortable with the Health Alternative section of my library, I believe it could pose an actual risk to people’s lives. I live in a different area than where I grew up so I can’t say […]

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.

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]

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)

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]

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.
