TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AS DETERMINANTS IN THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF UNIVERSITIES: A STUDY ON STATE UNIVERSITIES IN MALANG CITY
Authors: Natawibawa I Wayan Yeremia , Mulya I Made Oka , Yoh Wahyo Hendarto
Published: August 2019

Educational organizations are public sector organizations, making transparency and accountability two important principles that must be reflected in their financial management. This requirement is enshrined in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2012 on University. Two factors that can potentially influence transparency and accountability of financial management are the presentation of financial report of the organization in question and accessibility to such statements. This research is intend to analyze the impact of financial report presentation and accessibility to financial reports on transparency and accountability of financial management of a state university in Malang City. Rate of returned and completed questionnaire is 100%, comprising of 252 questionnaires. Data analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression. There are two independent variables used in this research, namely the presentation of financial reports and accessibility to financial reports, and two independent variables, namely transparency and accountability of financial management. The result of this research indicates that the presentation of financial reports and accessibility to financial reports have a positive impact on transparency and accessibility in financial management. This in turn implies that the public would consider that financial management at the state university is accountable if its financial report is prepared in accordance with the applicable standards and easily accessed.
CAN THE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM REDUCE FRAUDULENT USE OF VILLAGE FUNDS IN ADVERSE SELECTION CONDITION?
Authors: Sitanala Theresia Febiengry
Published: August 2019

In recent years, corruption cases at the village level have been in the public spotlight. This was evidenced through around 154 corruption cases at the village level involving 112 village heads, 32 village officials and 3 village heads. This corruption case resulted in the state experiencing a loss of 47.56 billion rupiah during 2015-2017. This case is carried out through various modes such as the practice of budget abuse, fictitious reports, fictitious activities/projects, and budget bubbles. These various modes occur because the internal control system is ineffective, so it provides an opportunity for actors to act opportunistically. The goal is to maximize his personal interests as agents rather than the interests of the community as principals. This opportunistic behavior is caused by the existence of information asymmetry. Information asymmetry creates conditions for obtaining information that is not aligned between the village head as an agent and the community as the principal, so that the emergence of adverse selection. This study aims to examine the effect of the internal control system on fraudulent use of village funds in agency conflict conditions through adverse selection. This study used the laboratory experiment method with the subject being Accounting Student at Pattimura University Ambon. The data analysis technique uses Two-Way ANOVA with a 2x2 factorial experimental design. The results of the study show that (1) adverse selection conditions affect the relationship between the internal control system and fraudulent use of village funds, (2) the internal control system that does not effectively affect fraudulent use of village funds under adverse selection is compared to no adverse selection (3 ) adverse selection conditions do not affect fraudulent use of village funds when the internal control system is effective, and (4) in the absence of adverse selection, an effective internal control system will reduce fraudulent use of village funds compared to ineffective internal control systems.
Realist, Non-Naturalist Ethics and Librarianship
Authors: Budd John M
Published: August 2019

The fundamental premise of this paper is that the work of information professionals relies upon, and is an extension of, memory. Memory is an essential element in shaping consciousness, so it is likewise essential to information work. The place the past occupies is a complex one, as will be demonstrated in the presentation. The past cannot simply be categorized as history, since “history” depends on agency beyond the individual information professional. Models offered by Bergson and Wilson will bring the complexity to the fore and will illustrate how information professionals rely on memory for the most fundamental aspects of information work.

Scientific progress or organizational innovation? A comparison of two turns in Library and Information Science
Authors: Griffin Brian L.
Published: August 2019

This paper discusses the transformation of library and information science (LIS) from adiscipline narrowly concerned with classification and preservation in libraries and archives toone that includes a wide range of fields and professional training programs. Two alternative butnot mutually exclusive explanations may account for these developments. These changes couldreflect normal scientific progress as the discipline matures. The changes could also be the resultof isomorphic organizational changes in response to shifts in the environment and a need torealign the institutional logics of educational and professional organizations with those of theacademy. These explanations are explored through a comparison of two periods during whichLIS experienced rapid disciplinary and organizational changes: the decades during and afterWorld War II and the final decade of the 20th century. These abbreviated case studies suggestthat both explanations of disciplinary change provide some analytical leverage for explainingdifferent aspects of the development of LIS.
Information Visualizations as a Tool to Study Users’ Social Media Privacy Concerns
Authors: Gruzd Anatoliy , Jacobson Jenna , Dubois Elizabeth
Published: August 2019

The amount and complexity of data that can be accessed from social media has been increasing exponentially. We examine the value of using information visualizations as a tool to study people’s attitudes and perceptions regarding their social media data being used by third parties. In the context of using social media to screen job applicants, we investigate the role of visualizations in studying users’ social media privacy concerns. Utilizing an online survey of 454 participants, we compare participants’ comfort levels in relation to different types of publicly accessible social media data. The results partially support the supposition that analytical information based on some form of data analysis will receive a stronger reaction when accompanied by representative visualizations.

Information, Beliefs, and Ways of Knowing in the Post-Truth Era
Authors: Oliphant Tami
Published: August 2019

In 2016, Oxford Dictionaries claimed “post-truth” as word of the year. Post-truth is the supremacy of belief, emotion, and worldviews over information and facts. While post-truth is nothing new, it invites reconsideration of information, disinformation, misinformation, and knowledge from an understudied perspective: the internal conditions and different ways of knowing that shape and influence information interactions. This conceptual paper explores the relationships among beliefs, emotion, and faith, internal conditions, information, and different ways of knowing by drawing upon two recent events: the preventable death of a toddler and the fundamental belief system change of a white supremacist.

Authors: Jin Tao , McLain Wendy
Published: August 2019

Records and information management (RIM) has been well needed in both public and private sectors for decades. The recent progression toward enterprise wide information governance (IG) provides a good example of RIM's fast-pacedevolution. However, what should those being hired for a RIM/IG position know? What other qualities should they bring to the job in order to survive and thrive? Unfortunately, there is a dearth of empirical research that addresses these concerns. This proposed poster  will report an on-going project that aims to identify core competencies for this group of informationprofessionals by using a job advertisement content analysis approach.
Expert Advisory Groups: Exploring the Sensemaking Proces s During a Public Health C risis R esponse
Authors: Seto Iva , Johnstone David , Campbell-Meier Jennifer
Published: August 2019

In a public health crisis, experts (such as epidemiologists, public health officers, physicians and virologists) support key decision  makers with advice in a highly dynamic, pressured,  and time-sensitive context. Experts must process information (to provide advice) as quickly as possible, yet this must be balanced with ensuring the information is credible, reliable,  and relevant. When an unexpected event occurs, it may lead to a gap between what is  experienced and what was expected; sensemaking is a meaning creation process which is engaged to fill the gap. This research explores how experts engage in sensemaking during a  public health crisis.
Information Overload, Stress, and Burnout: The Need for Contemplative Approaches in LIS
Authors: Piyati Ajit
Published: August 2019

The information age, despite its undeniable opportunities and benefits, is also rife with stress, information overload, and anxiety. Given this context, LIS unfortunately remains  largely silent about these affective concerns. One  way to address these concerns is for LIS to  embrace contemplative approaches as a mode of inquiry. As such, the paper offers a preliminary sketch of a “contemplative LIS” to allow LIS scholars and professionals to more effectively address issues such as overload and burnout. This exploration is based on the following four themes: 1) Attention; 2) Relationships; 3) Reflection; and 4) Action.

Testimonies of Communication in Dementia Care
Authors: Campbell Grant D. , Dalmer Nicole , Andrews Jason
Published: August 2019

This paper presents a study of recorded conversations, qualitative interviews, and published memoirs to articulate the role of professional information services in answering the needs of persons caring for family members living with dementia. The data from these sources reveals evidence of working naïve classifications based on images of ritual, paradox, contrast, synchrony and stability. The findings suggest that information services need to align with caregivers’ working classifications, and that information, when appropriately delivered, plays a significant role in re-establishing temporary periods of stability in the caregiving relationship.

Librarians in South Africa and the United States sorted 35 statements representing the breadth of approaches to RIS. Preliminary data were analyzed to identify prominent conceptualizations based on like sorts. Results will inform theoretical work and professional education for RIS.
Mutable Mobiles: Negotiating Tensions in Everyday Information Work in Paid and Unpaid Dementia Care
Authors: Dalmer Nicole K
Published: August 2019

This paper details a contemporary, Canadian-centric study that focused on the information work that permeates the care work of families who are caring for a community-dwelling older adult who is living with dementia. Guided by Dorothy Smith’s institutional ethnography method of inquiry, thirteen family caregivers of community-dwelling older adults living with dementia were interviewed about their everyday information work. To more fully understand the different influences on family caregivers’ experiences of their information work, a second set of interviews was conducted with five paid dementia care staff to understand how, when, and why they provide families with information. This paper’s findings make visible the array of carerelated information work that happens in and around the home and calls into question the static boundaries that paid care providers place around information.
Young Women Encountering Information on Sexuality in Young Adult Literature
Authors: Helkenberg Davin L.
Published: August 2019

This paper investigates Young Adult (YA) Literature as a source of information on sexuality for young women readers. The data for this study is derived from semi-structured interviews (Seidman, 2006) that were conducted with 11 female participants. Six major categories of information on sexuality were found within the interview data: sexual acts, types of relationships, relationship realities, strategies for dealing with relationship problems, sexual abuse, and consent. These findings provide empirical evidence that YA Literature can act as a valuable source of information on sexuality and may promote the sexual agency and well-being of young people, especially young women.
Canada’s Health Data Repositories: Challenges of Organization, Discoverability and Access
Authors: Shiri Ali , Thornton Gail M.
Published: August 2019

Evidence-based medicine relies on health data. Open health data initiatives need to be supported with data repositories that are optimized for searchability and discoverability. Five Canadian open health data repositories were evaluated for metadata-based searching, browsing, and navigational functionalities. In the different national, provincial and institutional open data repositories evaluated, the preliminary findings reveal the variability in these functionalities. This research will contribute to the development of guidelines and best practices for implementing metadata and searching and browsing functionalities for open health data repositories that will ultimately lead to a more interoperable open health data environment.

A New approach to Design and Implementation of IBM PC for Accessing Library CD-ROM Database via Campus Network
Authors: Chen Ruey-Shun , Chen D.J. , YEH Y.S.
Published: August 2019

Library CD-ROM with its enormous storage, retrieval capabilities and reasonable price, has been gradually replacing some of its printed counterparts. One of the greatest limitations on the use of stand-alone CD-ROM workstations, however, is that only one user can access the CD-ROM database at a time. This paper proposes a new approach to solving this problem.

Multilingual Access to Document Databases
Authors: Pollitt Steven A. , Ellis Geoff
Published: August 2019

This paper examines the reasons why approaches to facilitate document retrieval which apply AI (Artificial Intelligence) or Expert Systems techniques, relying on so-called "natural language" query statements from the end-user will result in sub-optimal solutions. It does so by reflecting on the nature of language and the fundamental problems in document retrieval.
Source Selection Among Information Seekers: Ideals and Realities
Authors: Julien Heidi , Michels David
Published: August 2019

In a study examining the information behavior of 9 individuals over 10 weeks in daily life contexts, participants were asked to identify ideal sources of help for the questions and issues they faced. The data show how people’s expectation of the usefulness of information sources varies by the information seeker’s gender, and source characteristics such as accessibility, trustworthiness, and reliability. Usefulness of sources has both cognitive and affective aspects. Further, discrepancies between participants' stated ideals, and the sources actually used, are analyzed. The study results suggest ways to encourage use of formal information systems and services.
