“If you try to close them I will stab you in the eye with a fork”: interpretative repertoires in public library value statements
Authors: McKenzie Pamela J.
Published: August 2019

In July 2018, an online post advocating the replacement of libraries with Amazon outlets produced an outpouring of responses that articulated and debated the value of the public library. These value statements represent multiple, intertwined, and sometimes contradictory perspectives expressed in interpretative repertoires. These repertoires cluster around statements of value to the individual and value to society at large and include an association between libraries and the physical print book.
Decolonizing the Ethics of Intellectual Freedom: Exploring a New Intersectional Framework for Allyship and Ethical Practice
Authors: Ballantyne Erin
Published: August 2019

The intersection between Indigenous allyship, intellectual freedom, and social responsibility is understudied in LIS literature. This conceptual paper employs literature-based critical analysis to explore the tension between these concepts and torwards the theoretical basis for a new interdisciplinary model for ethical information practice. The model draws on foundational aspects of human rights scholarship, human resources literature, philosophy, and uncertainty as a critical tradition for  librarianship.
Comparing the Involvment of Academic Librarians in the Cycical Review Process for Graduate Programs in the Humanities and in the sciences
Authors: Bowker Lynne
Published: August 2019

In Ontario, all graduate programs at publicly assisted universities must be reviewed on a cyclical basis at least once every eight years. This paper adopts a corpus-based approach to investigate and compare how academic librarians are integrated into the cyclical review process for graduate programs in the Humanities and graduate programs in the Sciences. Findings reveal that these two broad disciplinary cultures differ in the way and the degree to which they recognize libraries and involve librarians in the program review process.

Assessing Metadata Categories and Visual Displays for Retrieving Digital Cultural Resources
Authors: Howarth Lynne C. , Miller Thea
Published: August 2019

Focus groups tested the appropriateness of a seventeen-element categorization model for uniquely identifying and retrieving digital objects from cultural repositories. Findings suggest that, while only a subset of categories ranked as important to selecting images, the type of material and a context for searching also influence the utility of a category.Des groupes de discussion ont testé l’adéquation d’un modèle de catégorisation comprenant 17 éléments visant l’identification unique et le repérage les objets numériques des entrepôts culturels.

The Presentation of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Information in Canadian Midwifery Care
Authors: McKenzie Pamela J. , Oliphant Tami
Published: August 2019

This paper uses discourse analysis to consider midwives’ and pregnant women’s discussions of conventional and complementary and alternative medicine interventions for inducing labour. Participants distinguished between “natural” and “medical” methods and used information sources based on both biomedical evidence and women’s experience to justify and challenge authority claims.Cet article utilise l’analyse du discours pour examiner les conversations des sages-femmes et des femmes enceintes au sujet des interventions en médecine traditionnelle, douce et alternative pour assister l’accouchement.

“What's wrong with that woman?” – Positioning Theory and Information-Seeking Behaviour
Authors: McKenzie Pamela J. , Carey Robert F.
Published: August 2019

We offer social positioning theory (Davies and Harre 1990) as a framework for exploring the ways in which the visibility of an individual’s health status is linked to socially constructed subjectivities that can affect the individual’s information-seeking behaviour. Qualitative analysis of data from two doctoral studies (collected through participant observation and 40 semi-structured interviews) illustrates the utility of social positioning theory as a framework for studying two specific health contexts: systematic lupus erythematosus, and twin pregnancy. Adopting a ‘position’ involves the use of discursive practices which define the relations between self and others. Such practices frequently draw upon common social representations of particular phenomena (Van Langehove and Harre 1994). Our findings indicate that the visibility of health status is related to subject positioning, and that positioning theory offers insight into the mutually specifying correspondence between local discursive practices and styles of information behavior. The pregnant woman’s expanding abdomen makes her health status evident to others, often positioning her as a willing recipient of advice and information (Browner and Press 1997). Cultural assumptions associated with “twins” can both facilitate and constrain the woman’s information seeking (“Better you than me.”). However, the stock of shared cultural understandings associated with lupus is comparatively sparse (Senecal 1991). Symptoms such as hair loss, skin rash, and weight gain may therefore lead to positions which are experienced by novice patients as stigmatizing (“What’s wrong with that woman?”). Even when evident symptoms disappear, the stigmatized position can be maintained through secrecy (“No one can tell I have lupus.”). In these situations, information-seeking is relegated to the confidential encounters characteristic of expert disciplinary regimes. As a heuristic tool, then, positioning theory provides an opportunity for analysis of the means by which the information-seeking subject is configured through discursive encounters.

The Convergence of Telecommunications and Today's Academic Libraries

Too Much to Handle? Take Advantage of Working across Multiple Virtual Team Projects
Authors: Xiao Lu
Published: August 2019

Fast-forming, fast-dissolving virtual teams have become an important part of the modern organizational life. Managing multiple group projects in the groupware environment is therefore increasingly becoming significant. Prior studies have focused on the negative effects caused by multitasking such as interruption handling and work resumption. In this paper, we discuss the potential positive effects of working across multiple virtual team projects aiming at provoking research directions about management of multiple virtual team projects through collaborative technologies.Les équipes virtuelles éphémères sont une part importante de la vie moderne en entreprise et la gestion de projets de groupe au moyen de collecticiels devient de plus en plus significative.
