Come and Get Yours: Culturally Responsive Library Services and Current LIS Education Response
Authors: Trembach Stan
Published: October 2022

With the continued internationalization of the U.S. population in recent decades, much of the focus of contemporary public library work has been on helping patrons with foreign backgrounds overcome numerous barriers to acculturation ranging from limited command of English, resulting difficulties securing employment, accessibility of education and healthcare opportunities, racial or ethnic discrimination, and the pressure to immerse into culturally different environment of the host country. This poster details the progress of a two-stage research project that positions the historical development of culturally responsive library services as a key factor in facilitating the integration of foreign-born library users into the mainstream of American society. Stage I presents the results of a thematic review of professional literature to elucidate the crucial role that the funds of knowledge/funds of identity paradigm plays in the experiences these patrons tend to have with library resources and personnel. The poster then uses an adapted library-community convergence framework (Mehra & Srinivasan, 2007) to categorize selected library community-strengthening efforts aimed to change the disempowered status of Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Italian Americans, and other multicultural populations. The author brings to the foreground their compelling tales of perseverance and courage, a successful rise to the challenge of adjusting to a new country and a new culture--ultimately making it their own. Stage II, document analysis, will use the terminology developed for the literature review, to explore to what extent LIS curricular offerings are reflective of the current societal push for more diversity and cultural competence in library education.
Towards a Model for Assessing Student Learning Outcomes
Authors: J.M Shalani Dilinika
Published: October 2022

This poster will illustrate the preliminary investigation results from an ongoing qualitative study of the assessment of student learning in master’s-level programs in Library and Information Science (LIS). The preliminary investigation explored the current practices and methods of learning outcomes assessment in MLIS programs. The websites of fifteen American Library Association (ALA)-Accredited MLIS programs in the U.S. selected as a geographic sample were reviewed along with publicly available program presentations and self-study documents prepared for ALA Committee on Accreditation. The review indicated that these MLIS programs employ a diverse range of methods for assessing student learning outcomes, including capstone courses, e-portfolio/portfolios, surveys, independent studies, field studies, internships, and practicum courses.            As the next step, an exploratory survey followed by interviews will be conducted with some of the faculty in these fifteen MLIS programs to examine the success and effectiveness of current learning assessment methods. The survey responses will be analyzed and coded according to emerging categories for ease of interpretation. Then, the results of the survey and interviews will be utilized to construct models for assessing student learning based on best practices.
Exploring the Dynamics of Public Library Board
Authors: Yeon Jieun
Published: October 2022

In most public libraries in the U.S., the board of trustees is a governing body that makes authoritative decisions to set strategies and goals for fulfilling the needs of their community. Despite the importance of the board in public library governance, public library boards have been neglected in academic research. As a nascent endeavor to study this neglected phenomenon, I investigate the dynamics between a public library board and the library director by applying agency theory, which has been often applied to examine the relationship between the board of directors and the executive officer in for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Agency theory explicates a situation in which “one or more actors (principals) must depend on one or more other actors (agents) to perform certain tasks for them.” (Wood, 2010, 184) By using agency theory as a framework to analyze seven observations of public library board meetings, I focus on identifying goal conflicts and information asymmetries, which are the two main assumptions of agency theory, between the public library board and the public library director to find characteristics of the public library board’s dynamics. The result of this study will guide the design of a larger study of public library board dynamics and its relationship with its community, especially with underrepresented populations in its community.
Librarians’ Attitude Towards Providing Environmental Education Services in Their Community
Authors: Ren Xiaoai , Lu Jia
Published: October 2022

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) advocates for libraries’ contributions to the global sustainable development efforts. Environment sustainability is one of the three pillars of the United Nations sustainable development concept. It’s crucial to examine libraries’ stance on environmental sustainability to see how they align with the professional organizations’ position. Case studies on libraries’ environmentally sustainable practices and services are plentiful. However, there is still the need for more empirical research that systematically examines libraries’ position and practice on environmental sustainability and the roles libraries play in building environmentally sustainable communities. This study fills the gap by surveying librarians from three states in the United States. The findings will be of interest to library associations to better support their member libraries in this endeavor. The findings are also important to LIS educators if they consider embedding environmental sustainability or environmental issues in LIS courses.
Depictions of Agency in Challenged Children’s Literature from School Libraries
Authors: Loomis Katie B.
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze depictions of agency in banned, challenged, and restricted picture books, specifically found in elementary school libraries in a selected school district. The books were identified by the American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom. Of the 156 challenges  27 were picture books that are included in the school library collections. The following research question guides this study: How is agency depicted, if at all, by the characters in the most banned, challenged, and restricted books, as identified by ALA’s OIF, specifically found in elementary school libraries in a midsized school district in the southwest? This study uses tenets from critical multicultural analysis (CMA) and elements of visual analysis (VA) to guide a critical content analysis of enactments of agency in the most banned, challenged, and restricted picture books from a selected school district’s school libraries in 2020. This study builds on and extends the existing research on intellectual freedom, agency development in children and demonstrations of agency in children’s literature.
Autoethnographic chronicle
Authors: Keeton KYmberly
Published: October 2022

There is a lack of African American community archives in Black libraries, museums, and institutions of higher learning in the Midwest and South of the United States. To better understand why this was/is happening, my doctoral research explores how individuals in Black communities archiving their personal and communal history. It is informed by a mixed-methods approach including autoethnography, phenomenology, material probing, and creative research techniques. By extension, the methods are non-exhaustive to help examine issues affecting African American communities in Texas from a personal and communal perspective in that prohibit its participation, and responsibility for self-documenting and collecting its local narratives for inclusion in Black Spaces, i.e., Black Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (BGLAM). The results of the first stage of this study suggest the need for a researcher to be involved as a participant and documentarian in community archival work in the African American community.
“to betray the archive of violence:"
Authors: Aems
Published: October 2022

The archival imperative for recursive description of racialized violence precludes Black humanity and necessitates methodologies that attend to “black Atlantic livingness” (McKittrick, 2016, 2021, p. 104). Many Black feminist scholars have been in conversation on the question of how (and can we) curate these methodologies; yet, they are largely absent in archival scholarship, reflecting “intellectual, methodological, and racial homogeneity” that is an outcome of a sustained “privileging of whiteness” in LIS (Ramirez, 2015, p. 340). As someone deeply implicated in these conditions, I ask: How can LIS/archives workers ethically engage radical, interdisciplinary, Black feminist archival methods in our pedagogies, practices, and day-to-day lives? How can we co-conspire with Black feminist scholars in and outside academia, moving towards the abolition of racial-capitalist and imperialist systems that encompass academia and our profession itself?
Authority is constructed and created … but not by you
Authors: Adkins Denice , Bossaller Jenny , Hill Heather
Published: October 2022

This paper engages in a critical review of information literacy practices as manifest through materials shared publicly on the ACRL Sandbox. Focusing primarily on the frames “Authority is Contested and Constructed,” and “Scholarship as Conversation,” we analyze lesson plans shared on the ACRL Sandbox that address those frames, including the positionality of the students for whom the lessons were created. Preliminary analysis finds that most of the lessons shared position students exclusively as information consumers, learning how to find and evaluate existing published research, rather than emphasizing their potential roles as producers. This perspective fails to capitalize on students as creators (e.g., from formal undergraduate research to social media). We conclude by presenting some ways in which information literacy instruction can be adjusted to prepare future librarians to recognize and respect students’ existing knowledge and build upon that knowledge.
Go back and get it: Centering local, national, and cultural histories in international LIS Education
Authors: Kerr Paulette
Published: October 2022

Deep knowledge of national and cultural histories, and collections is fundamental for librarians, not only for engaging the “other” but for self-reflection and awareness of one’s culture and values, and how they drive behavior.

In the Caribbean, recent curriculum transformation and renewal have focused on benchmarking North American, and British traditions and practice, in which issues of technology and information were emphasized as against historical considerations, and there remain gaps in the important area of cultural competence (Montiel Overall, 2009; Ouvrard-Prettol, 2017) especially among academic librarians. A new narrative is needed to address this knowledge gap, since for Caribbean LIS professionals, this void relates not to ‘other’ marginalized, diverse cultures, but their own history and culture.

The paper argues that in addition to knowledge of LIS history, there is need to reclaim national, regional, and attendant cultural histories in LIS programs. Strategies for addressing the imbalance in LIS professionals in the Caribbean are detailed.
Beyond Resilience
Authors: Soulen Rita
Published: October 2022

This collection of three studies investigated children’s frequency of access to school and public library materials as well as format preferences and resources used to access reading materials prior to, during, and predicted after the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey of parents of children ages 2-18 was conducted which included demographics and other factors. Data were analyzed for significant differences over time and by subgroup. Results indicate that children’s frequency of access to reading materials was negatively influenced by school and library closures and limited access. The child’s age and school environment were influencing factors. Results also indicate differences in format preferences and types of resources used to access reading materials over time. Educators of school and public librarians hold a responsibility to instruct LIS students to prepare for resilience by teaching library patrons how to access and enjoy digital materials in transformative times.
Assessment of the Popularity and Perceived Effectiveness of Smartphone Tools That Track and Limit Smartphone Use: Survey Study and Machine Learning Analysis
Authors: Aboujaoude Elias , Vera Cruz Germano , Rochat Lucien , Courtois Robert , Ben Brahim Farah , Khan Riaz , Khazaal Yasser
Published: October 2022

Background

Problematic smartphone use, like problematic internet use, is a condition for which treatment is being sought on the web. In the absence of established treatments, smartphone-provided tools that monitor or control smartphone use have become increasingly popular, and their dissemination has largely occurred without oversight from the mental health field.

Objective

We aimed to assess the popularity and perceived effectiveness of smartphone tools that track and limit smartphone use. We also aimed to explore how a set of variables related to mental health, smartphone use, and smartphone addiction may influence the use of these tools.

Methods

First, we conducted a web-based survey in a representative sample of 1989 US-based adults using the crowdsourcing platform Prolific. Second, we used machine learning and other statistical tools to identify latent user classes; the association between latent class membership and demographic variables; and any predictors of latent class membership from covariates such as daily average smartphone use, social problems from smartphone use, smartphone addiction, and other psychiatric conditions.

Results

Smartphone tools that monitor and control smartphone use were popular among participants, including parents targeting their children; for example, over two-thirds of the participants used sleep-related tools. Among those who tried a tool, the highest rate of perceived effectiveness was 33.1% (58/175). Participants who experienced problematic smartphone use were more likely to be younger and more likely to be female. Finally, 3 latent user classes were uncovered: nonusers, effective users, and ineffective users. Android operating system users were more likely to be nonusers, whereas younger adults and females were more likely to be effective users. The presence of psychiatric symptoms did not discourage smartphone tool use.

Conclusions

If proven effective, tools that monitor and control smartphone use are likely to be broadly embraced. Our results portend well for the acceptability of mobile interventions in the treatment of smartphone-related psychopathologies and, potentially, non–smartphone-related psychopathologies. Better tools, targeted marketing, and inclusive design, as well as formal efficacy trials, are required to realize their potential.
How Digital Therapeutics Are Urging the Need for a Paradigm Shift: From Evidence-Based Health Care to Evidence-Based Well-being
Authors: Smits Merlijn , Ludden Geke D S , Verbeek Peter-Paul , van Goor Harry
Published: October 2022

A scientific paradigm consists of a set of shared rules, beliefs, values, methods, and instruments for addressing scientific problems. Currently, health care embraces the paradigm of evidence-based health care (EBH). This paradigm prompts health care institutions to base decisions on the best available evidence, which is commonly generated in large-scale randomized controlled trials. We illustrate the application of EBH via the evaluation of drugs. We show how EBH is challenged when it is applied to the evaluation of digital therapeutics, which refers to technology and data to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease. We conclude that amid the growing application of digital therapeutics, the paradigm of EBH is challenged in four domains: population, intervention, comparison, outcome. In the second part of this viewpoint, we argue for a paradigm shift in health care so we can optimally evaluate and implement digital therapeutics, and we sketch out the contours of this novel paradigm. We address the need for considering design in health care and evaluation processes, studying user values so that health care can move from a focus on health to well-being, focusing on individual experiences rather than the average, addressing the need for evaluation in authentic use contexts, and stressing the need for continuous evaluation of the dynamic relations between users, context, and digital therapeutics. We conclude that the transition from EBH toward evidence-based well-being would improve the successful implementation of digital technologies in health care.
Using Semistructured Telephone Interviews to Collect Qualitative Data From People With HIV Who Are Not in Medical Care: Implementation Study
Authors: Padilla Mabel , Gutierrez Mariana , Fagan Jennifer
Published: October 2022

Background

The Medical Monitoring Qualitative (MMP-Qual) Project was designed to collect qualitative data from people with HIV not engaged in medical care that would complement quantitative data collected by the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)—a national surveillance system—and inform the MMP’s recruitment and data collection methods.

Objective

Our objectives were to describe the methodology of this project, reflect on the challenges and lessons learned from conducting qualitative telephone interviews at a national level, and describe how we used and plan to use the qualitative data to evaluate our recruitment procedures and quantitative data collection instrument as well as knowledge of HIV care engagement.

Methods

We used stratified purposive sampling to identify and recruit participants who had participated in the structured MMP interview into the MMP-Qual Project. To be eligible, participants must have had an HIV diagnosis, be aged ≥18 years, have lived in an MMP jurisdiction, and have not been engaged in HIV medical care. From August 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019, we conducted semistructured telephone interviews with 36 people with HIV across the United States about several topics (eg, facilitators and barriers to care and experience with surveys). Four trained interviewers conducted semistructured 60-minute telephone interviews with 36 participants. Data collection lasted from August 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019.

Results

From 2018 to 2019, 113 people were eligible to participate in the MMP-Qual Project. Of the people recruited, 28% (22/79) refused to participate. Of those who agreed to participate, 63% (36/57) were interviewed, and 37% (21/57) were no-shows. Of the 34 participants for whom we had complete data, 15 (44%) were aged ≥50 years, 26 (76%) identified as male, 22 (65%) were Black or African American, and 12 (35%) lived in the Southern United States.

Conclusions

We learned that it is possible to obtain rich qualitative data from people with HIV who are not in care via telephone interviews and that this mode might be conducive to talking about sensitive topics. We also learned the importance of flexibility, communication, and coordination because we relied on health department staff to perform recruitment and had difficulty implementing our original sampling strategy. We hope that other projects will learn from our experience conducting qualitative telephone interviews with people with HIV on a national level.

Development of a Value Assessment and Integration Guide for Digital Therapeutics (Preprint)
Authors: Ostrovsky Andrey , Hibbs L. Esther , Nguyen Brian
Published: October 2022

UNSTRUCTURED

Digital therapeutics have potential to transform healthcare, but they have low adoption. One of the impediments to broader adoption of DTx is lack of standardization of coding, coverage, and reimbursement. There is also a need to standardize the way we discuss and assess outcomes from the use of DTx. The Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA) developed the Value Assessment and Integration Guide (Guide) to provide Healthcare Decision Makers (HCDMs) with a framework to evaluate the value of and enable the implementation of DTx in clinical practice. In this mixed-methods study, authors aimed to determine the Guide's usefulness and to transparently characterize the development process of the Guide. DTA initially developed a first draft of the Guide based on internal staff and DTA member organization subject matter expertise. Authors subsequently sought HCDMs’ input on the Guide through surveys, workshops, and interviews. Authors used a purposive sampling method to capture HCDM perspectives from a wide range of disciplines.

Across the survey, workshops, and interviews, there were 420 discrete pieces of feedback or responses collected. Pieces of feedback included responses to survey questions and discrete comments captured during workshops or interviews. This mixed-methods study found that the Guide was generally well-designed with high quality content and iteratively improved from feedback from a robust albeit not fully representative group of HCDMs. The process for the Guide development was made transparent with the characterization of the five phases of Guide development including a summary of findings from each phase. More research is needed to address some of the limitations of this study as well as to understand adoption and utility of the Guide after it is publicly launched.
Arctic anticyclone and its influence on the North Atlantic Oscillation
Authors: Morozova S. , Denisov K. , Polyankaya E. , Chervyakov M. , Semenova N. , Ormeli E.
Published: October 2022

This article examines the influence of the permanent center of atmospheric action - the Arctic anticyclone (Arctic High) - on the dynamics of adjacent circulating oscillatory structures - the North Atlantic. Analysis of variance was used to estimate the degree of influence of the Arctic anticyclone on the state of the centers of action of the atmosphere in the North Atlantic. The influence of the Arctic High on the change in the pressure in the Icelandic minimum and Azores maximum is estimated at 48%. This influence showed not statistical significance, confirmed by Fisher's test. The impact of the circulation systems of the North Atlantic on the Arctic anticyclone is estimated at 7%, and is not statistically significant. A statistically significant correlation was found between the intensity of the Arctic High and the intensity of the Icelandic center of atmospheric action. With the strengthening of the Arctic anticyclone, the Icelandic depression deepen. The correlation coefficient were -0.39. This coefficient is statistically significant.
Comparative Digestibility of Nutrients, Energy and Dietary Fiber in Feed Ingredients Fed to Philippine Black Tiaong Native (Sus scrofa domesticus) and Hybrid Pigs
Authors:   Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, Mindanao State University, Marawi City, Villanueva Jesse Jay
Published: October 2022

The study was carried out to compare the digestibility of nutrients, energy and dietary fiber in conventional feed ingredients fed to Philippine black Tiaong native pigs and hybrid pigs. A total of 18 Philippine black Tiaong native and 18 hybrid pigs (PIC L337 × C24) were randomly allotted to 1 of 3 experimental treatments arranged in a 3 × 6 (black Tiaong native pigs) and 2 × 9 (hybrid pigs) Latin square design. A corn basal diet consisting of 95% corn (as-fed basis) and vitamins and minerals was formulated. The next two diets were formulated by mixing 70% of the basal diet with 30% (as-fed basis) soybean meal and rice bran. The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients, NDF, ADF and ash and the DE and ME concentration of each ingredient was calculated using the difference procedure. Results showed that ATTD of GE and ME of the diet were greater (P<0.001) for native pigs compared with hybrid pigs. Likewise, the DE and ME of corn, soybean meal and rice bran measured in Philippine black Tiaong native pigs were greater (P<0.001) compared with those measured in hybrid pigs. Philippine black Tiaong native pigs also had greater (P<0.03) ATTD of CP, crude fiber, NDF, ADF, and ash and tended (P=0.08) to have greater ATTD of fat compared with hybrid pigs. The results of this study suggest that Philippine black Tiaong native pigs are more efficient in digesting nutrients as well as their ability to ferment dietary fiber.
The Performance of Supporting Laboratories to the Implementation of the Regulation of Minister of Agriculture No. 88 the Year 2011 through Agricultural Quarantine Agency Class I Semarang
Authors: Wahyupraja Heru , Somowiyarjo Susamto , Trisyono Y. Andi
Published: October 2022

The Indonesian government is obliged to ensure the public health of the people of Indonesia by the supervision of Fresh Food Originated from Plant (Pangan Segar Asal Tumbuhan [PSAT]) arriving from abroad. Therefore, the regulation of Minister of Agriculture Number 88 in 2011 was issued to regulate inspection requirement of PSAT. There are some challenges in the implementation of these regulations until 2015, such as the unavailability of accredited laboratories, the lack of communication between stakeholders, and limited human resource or utensil within testing laboratories. Most of the testing laboratories appointed by the government are not yet accredited. Only 60% are able to perform tests mandated listed in The Regulation of Minister of Agriculture No. 88 the Year 2011. On the other hand, private laboratories accredited by ISO/IEC 17025 showed higher capacity by being able to perform 77.8 to 100% of mandated tests. The implementation challenges were later addressed by the revision of the regulation and release of issue Regulation 04/2015 in ref. The Regulation of Minister of Agriculture 13/2016. These regulations acknowledge Food Safety System of the state of origin or their administration of the Testing Laboratory Registration. In other words, they put forward the implementation of supervision in the country of origin reducing Indonesia’s reliability on providing high level of testing laboratories itself. The implementation of The Regulation of Minister of Agriculture 04/2015 in ref. the Regulation of  Minister of Agriculture 13/2016 expected Quarantine Measures on the importation of PSAT to be more effective and efficient. Therefore, impact of the implementation of this new regulation would shorten delay periods for cargo containers in ports (dwelling time), reduce handling cost of containers, minimize laboratory testing fees, and reduce risk of rejection of imported products because of incompliance.
The Role of Information and Communication Technology for Economic Sustainability through Social Entrepreneurship Practices in Indonesia: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Lindawati Lisa
Published: October 2022

ICT provides an environment that encourages the development of social entrepreneurship. Regarding its definition, social entrepreneurship is the “third way” of the two sectors running dichotomously: business entities that tend to be profitable and social institutions that are not profit-oriented. The social business carries out business activities with a social mission. Social movements were at different poles from profit-seeking efforts in the past, and digital technology enabled them to achieve them simultaneously. One of the supporting factors is its ability to reduce production, distribution, and even promotion costs. On the other hand, ICT allows social entrepreneurs to amplify their stories. There are no fundamental differences between commercial and social business activities. Both of them produce goods or services. The distinguishing elements are how they do business, the actors involved, and the eventual pursuit. If the commercial company tends to profit, social enterprise talks about social impact. Profit is a medium or tool to have a social impact on business. In the last five years, social entrepreneurship trends have maturated in Indonesia. This trend attracts researchers to take a deeper look at the sustainability aspects brought by social entrepreneurs. As preliminary research, this study explores how social entrepreneurship supports economic sustainability.

The Effectiveness of Traditional Korean Medicine for Treating Postoperative Ileus in Gastric Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Bae Hye-ri , Kim Eun-ji , Seo Hyun-sik , Lee Nam-hun
Published: October 2022

Objectives: Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common impairment of gastrointestinal motility and causes a delay in postoperative recovery, as well as an increased length of hospital stay, but no single strategy has a significant recuperative effect on POI. Studies of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) have reported improvements in bowel function after surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of TKM on postoperative ileus in gastric cancer patients.Methods: We used six databases to search for studies published from January 1, 2007, until May 11, 2022. The included studies were those reporting gastric cancer patients who received TKM treatment after gastrectomy through indicators related to POI.Results: The search identified 27 RCTs that used herbal medicine (Daegeonjung-tang and Gami-leejoongtang), herbal medicine combined with acupuncture (Sama-tang, Gumiseunggi-tang, Daeseunggi-tang, and Insam-tang), acupuncture, acupuncture and moxibustion, electroacupuncture, warm needling, transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA), low-frequency electrical acupoint stimulation (LEAS), moxibustion, auricular acupressure, and ST-36 acupoint injection with neostigmine as treatments for POI. The time to first flatus was shortened by herbal medicine combined with warm needling (Sama-tang, Gumiseunggi-tang, Daeseunggi-tang, and Insam-tang), acupuncture, electroacupuncture, warm needling, TEA, moxibustion, auricular acupressure, and ST-36 acupoint injection with neostigmine (p<0.00001). The time to the first defecation decreased significantly in response to the herbal medicine combined with warm needling (Sama-tang, Gumiseunggi-tang, Daeseunggi-tang, and Insam-tang), acupuncture, electroacupuncture, warm needling, TEA, moxibustion, auricular acupressure, and ST-36 acupoint injection with neostigmine (p<0.00001). No serious adverse events occurred.Conclusions: TKM could be a promising option for preventing and resolving POI in gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy.
