Published: August 2019

Background
Cognitive symptoms are common in major depressive disorder and may help to identify patients who need treatment or who are not experiencing adequate treatment response. Digital tools providing real-time data assessing cognitive function could help support patient treatment and remediation of cognitive and mood symptoms.

Objective
The aim of this study was to examine feasibility and validity of a wearable high-frequency cognitive and mood assessment app over 6 weeks, corresponding to when antidepressant pharmacotherapy begins to show efficacy.

Methods
A total of 30 patients (aged 19-63 years; 19 women) with mild-to-moderate depression participated in the study. The new Cognition Kit app was delivered via the Apple Watch, providing a high-resolution touch screen display for task presentation and logging responses. Cognition was assessed by the n-back task up to 3 times daily and depressed mood by 3 short questions once daily. Adherence was defined as participants completing at least 1 assessment daily. Selected tests sensitive to depression from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery and validated questionnaires of depression symptom severity were administered on 3 occasions (weeks 1, 3, and 6). Exploratory analyses examined the relationship between mood and cognitive measures acquired in low- and high-frequency assessment.

Results
Adherence was excellent for mood and cognitive assessments (95% and 96%, respectively), did not deteriorate over time, and was not influenced by depression symptom severity or cognitive function at study onset. Analyses examining the relationship between high-frequency cognitive and mood assessment and validated measures showed good correspondence. Daily mood assessments correlated moderately with validated depression questionnaires (r=0.45-0.69 for total daily mood score), and daily cognitive assessments correlated moderately with validated cognitive tests sensitive to depression (r=0.37-0.50 for mean n-back).

Conclusions
This study supports the feasibility and validity of high-frequency assessment of cognition and mood using wearable devices over an extended period in patients with major depressive disorder.

Lithostratigraphy of the Pietermaritzburg Formation (Ecca Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa

Abstract
The Lower Permian Pietermaritzburg Formation is a mudrock-dominated, upward-coarsening stratigraphic unit in the lower Ecca Group (Karoo Supergroup) in the northeastern part of the main Karoo Basin of South Africa. The formation extends over most of the KwaZulu-Natal Province, and due to its lithology and the local climate, it is usually poorly exposed; hence the description is mainly based on borehole records. From a measured thickness of about 430 m south of the type area around Pietermaritzburg, the formation thins progressively northwards and pinches out against the Dwyka Group and pre-Karoo basement north of latitude 26° 30' S. This Lower Permian formation is considered a stratigraphic equivalent of the Prince Albert Formation in the southern part of the main Karoo Basin. The Pietermaritzburg Formation only preserves scattered, fragmentary plant fossil and invertebrate trace fossils, which are diagnostic of marine conditions (e.g. Helminthopsis). Based on its sedimentary facies characteristics and ichnofossil assemblages, the unit was probably deposited under low energy conditions on a northerly shallowing marine shelf that initially experienced deepening (during a major Artinskian transgression) and then shallowing in the early Kungurian.
Lithostratigraphy of the Skoorsteenberg Formation (Ecca Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa
Authors: Wickens H. de V. , Cole D.I. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe Middle Permian Skoorsteenberg Formation is part of the Ecca Group (Karoo Supergroup) of South Africa. It is also known as the ‘Tanqua fan complex’ due to its origin as a deep-water sedimentation unit associated with a prograding deltaic system. The Skoorsteenberg Formation crops out over approximately 650 km2 along the western margin of the Main Karoo Basin. It thins out in a northerly and easterly direction and therefore has a limited extent with cut-off boundaries to the south and north. It is underlain by the Tierberg Formation and overlain by the Kookfontein Formation, the latter being limited to the regional distribution of the Skoorsteenberg Formation. The Skoorsteenberg Formation has a composite thickness of 400 m and comprises five individual sandstone packages, separated by shale units of similar thickness. The sandstones are very fine- to fine-grained, light greyish to bluish grey when fresh, poorly sorted and lack primary porosity and permeability.The Tanqua fan complex is regarded as one of the world’s best examples of an ancient basin floor to slope fan complex associated with a fluvially dominated deltaic system. It has served as analogue for many deep-water systems around the world and continues to be a most sought after “open-air laboratory” for studying the nature of fine-grained, deep-water sedimentation. The fan systems are essentially tectonically undeformed, outstandingly well exposed and contain an inexhaustible amount of information on the deep-water architecture of lower slope to basin floor turbidite deposits.

Building infrastructures for university-community knowledge exchange: The Role of Information Professionals and Literacy Educators
Authors: De Forest Heather , Freund Luanne , McCauley Aleha , O'Brien Heather L. , Smythe Suzanne 
Published: August 2019

This panel argues that information professionals and literacy educators play an important bridging role between universities and community groups and stakeholders. We describe the context of universitycommunity knowledge exchange, which is increasingly expected, but remains under-supported and under-theorised, and consider new opportunities that exist to support and build capacity in researchers and communities to co-create, share, and use information. We focus on the training and professional development needed to position information professionals and literacy educators as knowledge brokers, and innovative projects that demonstrate their value and potential in this role.
The Hidden Dimensions of Global Information Networks: What Price Privacy?
Authors: Halpin Edward F. , Wright Steve 
Published: August 2019

Daily we provide new information about ourselves, when shopping, travelling, communicating on the Internet or telephone, or even when we are simply eating out at a local restaurant. The collection of information is a constant in our lives, with the commercial sector profiling every aspect of our behaviour, from the insurance policies we purchase to the beer we drink. Much of this data is gathered without consumers being aware of the extent to which their privacy and anonymity are being compromised. Whilst the criminal fraternity may also wish to misuse our personal information for fraud or theft, the motives of the largest agencies collating this data are much less obvious or transparent. A recent series of reports to the European Parliament has identified the emergence of new technologies of political control. Such technology can watch and listen to our every move, this is not fiction, although the key player, the US National Security Agency is the same secretive organisation that features in the movie, 'Enemy of the State'. The technology now exists to industrialise such surveillance procedures, with the NSA base at Menwith Hill (UK) having the capability to tap an estimated 2 million phone calls, faxes and emails per hour. Once analysed using artificial intelligence systems such as Memex, this information can be used to build a massive machinery of political supervision with little political oversight or accountability. This paper explores how such information is gathered, the types of documentation now held on us, the way in which it can be manipulated and managed to create universal profiling, and even to change or create virtual images of ourselves. At its heart are the key issues of privacy, dataveillance and political manipulation, which have a wide range of unanticipated consequences and implications that form many of the key concerns of this conference.
Behind Closed Doors: The Hidden Intellectual Work and Images of Librarianship
Authors: McKechnie Lynne , Nilsen Kirsti 
Published: August 2019

Unlike many professionals, much of the intellectual work of librarians takes place behind closed doors, hidden from those who actually use the resulting service. Research on user perceptions of collection development work in public libraries, (the Who Decides? study), revealed that collection development is a hidden intellectual responsibility. Brief interviews were conducted with 106 adults in twoCanadian public libraries. Only 40% identified library staff as being responsible for collection development. Others suggested a variety of decision makers, including users and “ the public” , committees of community leaders, government officials, publishers, and pre-existing lists. Most respondents indicated that they were guessing. They frequently used mental models to generate answers. The authors contend that at least part of the misunderstanding of librarians and their work may be attributed to its hidden nature. Why the public does not know that librarians select materials is considered along with the implications of these findings with respect to the image of librarians, and the staffing and funding of libraries.

Modelling Information Retrieval in an Object-Oriented Database Environment
Authors: Nelson Michael J. 
Published: August 2019

From the 1994 CAIS Conference: The Information Industry in Transition McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.Bibliographic or full text information retrieval (IR) applications have been implemented either as special purpose programs or as systems based on database technology. The relational model has been used with some success but most work has used separate IR specific models. The object-oriented data model offers many advantages by incorporating documents as complex objects. Basic concepts such as objects, class hierarchy, inheritance, aggregation, collections and methods are applied to the IR situation. Various approaches to query processing are introduced. To illustrate these concepts a partial implementation in object-Pascal is presented. Problems of standardization and formalization are discussed.
Magnitude Feedback During Database Searching
Authors: Spink Amanda 
Published: August 2019

From the 1994 CAIS Conference: The Information Industry in Transition McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.This paper reports initial results from a study of magnitude feedback during database searching, including: (1) the frequency of magnitude feedback occurrences during 40 mediated database searches, (2) the user and search intermediary magnitude feedback behavior, and (3) the number of postings which leads to the completion of a cycle and the display of retrieved items. Feedback has been identified as an important but little researched element of database searching (Spink, 1993a). Results indicate that magnitude feedback occurred frequently during the mediated database searches with different patterns of magnitude feedback behaviour by users and search intermediaries.
Internationalization and Learner Autonomy: Connecting Across Borders and Expanding Boundaries
Authors: Bordonaro Karen 
Published: August 2019

Internationalization and learner autonomy offer rich theoretical frameworks to librarians for informing their professional practice. This poster identifies borders arising from an investigation of the phenomenon of internationalization and an examination of library and language learning intersections. In connecting these borders, librarians can expand the boundaries of their professional knowledge.L’internationalisation et l’autonomie de l'apprenant offrent aux bibliothécaires des cadres théoriques riches pour la connaissance de leur pratique professionnelle. Cette affiche identifie les frontières qui émergent de l'enquête sur le phénomène de l'internationalisation et de l'examen des intersections entre la bibliothèque et l'apprentissage des langues. En rapprochant ces frontières, les bibliothécaires ont l’occasion de repousser les limites de leurs connaissances professionnelles.

Published: August 2019

The purpose of this research was to understand how young people interact with information at a public library makerspace as well as the opportunities and challenges emerged in their participation. Dervin’s Sense-Making theory and methodology were employed in framing the research questions, data collection and analysis. Findings highlighted the informal learning opportunities of a makerspace, challenges that occurred during the making phase, information and help seeking from iterative trial and error as well as interpersonal resources. Implications for information professionals at public library makerspaces are discussed. Le but de cette recherche était de comprendre comment les jeunes interagissent avec l’information dans une bibliothèque publique équipée d’un atelier partagé, ainsi que les opportunités et les défis ayant émergé au cours de leur participation. La théorie et la méthodologie du sense-making de Dervin a été utilisée dans la formulation des questions de recherche, la collecte et l'analyse des données. Les résultats ont mis en évidence les opportunités d’apprentissage informel de l’atelier partagé; les défis ayant surgi lors de l’utilisation de l’atelier; les recherches d’information et d’aide apparues lors des phases d’essais et erreurs itératifs ainsi que des ressources interpersonnelles. Nous discutons les implications des ateliers partagés en bibliotjèques publiques pour les professionnels de l'information.
Information-seeking to Support Personal and Community Wellbeing: Report of a study of New Zealand Men Using Focus Groups
Authors: Wellstead Peta 
Published: August 2019

This paper reports part of an ongoing study exploring the information behaviour of New Zealand men during periods of diminished health and wellbeing. Focus groups were used for this iteration of the study. Results indicate that New Zealand men face both personal and structural constraints to their information-seeking during periods when their health and wellbeing may be compromised. This study highlights that service providers need to develop more effective information delivery mechanisms and support services for men. These services need to be appealing to men and reflect men’s information seeking preferences. The role of LIS professionals in supporting this endeavour is discussed. Cet article présente une étude en cours explorant le comportement informationnel d’ hommes néo-zélandais durant des périodes où leur état de santé et de bien-être est amoindri. Des groupes de discussion ont été utilisés pour cette itération de l'étude. Les résultats indiquent que les hommes en Nouvelle-Zélande font face à des contraintes à la fois personnelles et structurelles dans leur recherche d'information pendant les périodes où leur santé et leur bien-être peuvent être affaiblis. Cette étude met en évidence le besoin pour les fournisseurs de services de développer des mécanismes de diffusion de l'information plus efficaces et des services de soutien pour les hommes. Ces services doivent être attrayants et refléter les préférences des hommes dans leurs recherches d’information. Le rôle des professionnels de l'information dans le soutien à cette entreprise est discuté.
