Serendipity in context: Prioritised contextual browsing in large‐scale digital libraries
Authors: Weigl David M. , Emsley Iain , Page Kevin R. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTIn previous work we proposed a model of information‐seeking behaviour in scholarly workset creation, combining and extending established models by Bates, Ellis, and Wilson to encompass strategies for scholarly research in large‐scale information systems. However, this model simplifies contextual browsing, a key aspect of information seeking in large‐scale information systems, as a single, holistic, strategy. Here, we extend this model with granular strategies for contextual browsing, defining new modes to characterise contextual browsing as combinations of these strategies, which we show to be consistent with serendipitous discovery as described by Makri et al. We study the properties of prioritised contextual browsing as a mechanism for implementing these strategies. We describe the Compage framework, a proof‐of‐concept implementation for prioritised contextual browsing of Linked Data resources, using Jaccard similarity for prioritisation. Extending Compage, we develop a simulation environment in which we investigate the utility of prioritised contextual browsing over a large‐scale digital library dataset. Our simulation applies three strategies for the traversal of contextual metadata: reset, unprioritised, and prioritised. Results empirically demonstrate the advantages of prioritised contextual browsing, and that elements of serendipity can be identified and incorporated within our information‐seeking model. In doing so, we evaluate our model's suitability for this scenario, yielding a more detailed understanding of the strategies and modes of behaviour underlying contextual browsing.
Peer review, bibliometrics and altmetrics ‐ Do we need them all?

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTThis panel will present views and critical reflections on peer review, bibliometrics and altmetrics against the background of the latest developments and critique of the scientific system (e.g., replication crisis, DORA, open science, data manipulation). Peer review is the oldest form of monitoring the scientific process and research outcomes and is sometimes considered as the gold standard for evaluating quality. However, it also has its drawbacks; therefore, new forms of peer review are being explored. Bibliometrics, comparative statistics based on publication and citation counts, was introduced as a more objective evaluation method, which is applicable on meso and macro levels of research producing units but is not without problems either. Citation counts as a proxy of quality; the impact factor and the h‐index are some of the most controversial subjects of research evaluation today. The newest addition to the evaluation toolbox are altmetrics, impact measures based mainly on social media activity. Altmetrics have pros and cons as well. None of the measuring devices is perfect, and rather than replacing they complement each other. By drawing on indicators from all three aspects of research evaluation, negative and adverse effects are limited.

Does the region have any international, national, or regional OS collaborations and/or agreements? Does the region have any international, national or regional OS infrastructure and/or systems? Are international, national or regional OS standards being adapted in the region? What is the utilization level of the OS infrastructure and/or systems in the region? Is the region experiencing any progress, barriers and/or challenges in implementing the OS initiatives?
Challenges for social media: Misinformation, free speech, civic engagement, and data regulations
Authors: DePaula Nic , Fietkiewicz Kaja J. , Froehlich Thomas J. , Million A.J. , Dorsch Isabelle , Ilhan Aylin 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTSocial media has arguably brought one of the greatest changes to Internet communication since the invention of the Web but challenges as well. Apart from helping people to have access and to exchange information, social media has also been used to spread misinformation, hate speech, and the user‐generated data is adopted for targeted commercial and political advertising based on personal profiles. Moreover, the most popular applications available are owned by a small number of companies who may have an undue influence on how civic engagement takes place on their platforms. In this panel, four panelists will discuss the following: misinformation and the role of pseudo‐cognitive authorities; hate speech and Germany's Network Enforcement Act (NetzGD); civic engagement and market capture by social media companies; and finally, personal data processing and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We intend to raise interesting questions helping to understand these issues, and to find solutions for the beneficial use of information technologies as well as to scope out all its advantages.
Lost in knowledge translation: Our shifting research landscape
Authors: Garcia‐Perez Alexeis , Bedford Denise A. D. , Jones Wayne , Freeburg Darin , Tatian Peter , Testa Dean 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTIn 2018 there is a new research modality. Research is increasingly produced by individuals and organizations not formally affiliated with academic institutions; based on funding that does not come from the public sphere; aligned with and intended to support advocacy perspectives and is designed for use by particular communities and agents. The new research modality presents challenges and opportunities. While all of these new agents in the research landscape are well educated and qualified to conduct research, in many cases they are operating outside of the traditional research environment and perhaps with a different set of “research cultural norms”. This new research modality in fact begs for a solution similar to that promoted within the health sciences field – a model of knowledge translation. A panel of researchers drawn from across the new research landscape will engage with information professionals to discuss six key questions.

Authors: Thomson Leslie , Caidi Nadia , Yoon Kyong , Forcier Eric , Kim Alice N. , Chah Niel 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTIn our increasingly visually oriented world, people's information practices shift and adapt accordingly. In this panel, we bring together an international group of scholars to discuss their insights on information practices related to visual platforms such as YouTube. From the information and communication practices of beauty vloggers garnering international attention to YouTubers specializing in building bridges between cultures, the emergence of the K‐pop fandom on YouTube, and the effects of participatory transmedia on viewers' everyday rituals, the panelists share theoretical, empirical, and methodological insights on emerging and evolving everyday information practices. The audience engagement and panelist presentations will coalesce in the formulation of a research agenda that pertains, broadly, to everyday visual engagement, trust and meaning‐making, and community building at local and translocal levels.
A methodology for scientific cyberinfrastructure sustainability research
Authors: Allard Grant , Allard Suzie 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTScientific cyberinfrastructure (SCI), defined as “the distributed computer, information and communication technologies combined with the personnel and integrating components that provide a long‐term platform to empower the modern scientific research endeavor” (Atkins et al., 2003), is a foundation for the modern scientific enterprise and open science. Establishing persistent SCI requires an understanding of the essential topics related to cyber‐infrastructure sustainability. We add to the study of SCI sustainability by focusing on the roles of financing structure and property rights. The Sustainability Transitions Outcomes Research Methodology (STORM) is a reproducible technique which opens the door for conversations that are based on existing data and from which scholars can derive axioms to help explain and predict the SCI sustainability. STORM provides steps for quantitatively categorizing financing, property rights, and outputs against cardinal metrics such as revenue, costs, and consumption of the resource. Our findings are presented with an interactive web application.
Middle of the (by)line: Examining hyperauthorship networks in the human genome project
Authors: Dinh Ly , Cheng Yi‐Yun 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTThe era of big science promises rapid growth of scientific innovations and complex problem‐solving, bringing forth the practice of doing science in large‐scale collaborative effort rather than single author, solitary work. In disciplines such as genomics and high‐energy physics, it is not uncommon that hyperauthorship phenomenon with the amount of authors soaring high from hundredth to thousandth. The purpose of this research is to explore the collaboration dynamics and the partial alphabetical author byline in one of the primary research articles within the Human Genome Project (HGP). Using co‐ authorship network analysis, we find that middle authors play crucial roles in facilitating collaboration among previously unconnected authors as well as contributing to genetic sequencing efforts. Future work entails network analysis of all published works by HGP to comprehensively capture collaboration dynamics among multiple research centers.
Sticky words: Evaluation and optimization of information interactions based on linguistic analysis
Authors: Dvir Nim 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTThis paper describes a novel approach to systematically improve interactions with digital content based solely on its wording. Following an interdisciplinary literature review, we recognized three key attributes of words that drive successful interactions: (1) Novelty (2) Familiarity (3) Sentimentality. Based on these attributes, we developed a model to systematically improve a given content using word frequency, sentiment analysis and semantic substitution, and by employing computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP) tech‐niques. We conducted a pilot study (n=416) in which the model was used to formalize evaluation and optimization of academic titles. A between‐group design was used to compare responses to the original (control) and modified (treatment) titles. Results show that the modified titles had significantly higher scores for selection, user engage‐ment and memorability. Our findings suggest that users' successful interactions with digital content is fostered by, and perhaps dependent upon, the wording being used. They also provide empirical support that engaging content can be systematically evaluated and produced. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
Everyday information practices: An exploration of intra‐individual information behavior across everyday contexts
Authors: Lee Lo , Ocepek Melissa G. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTEveryday information behavior studies individuals' information behaviors based on their everyday experience. To analyse one participant's information behaviors across daily life contexts, we used interviews and observations as primary research methods. Findings demonstrated that one individual's regular behavioral patterns, such as cross‐referencing, information reviewing, and vision driven information seeking, were consistent across contexts. This work also confirmed the potential to conduct information behavior research by closely looking into one individual across different life situations.
Across borders: The concept and applications of Eugenics in the CCL and the NDC
Authors: Lee Wan‐Chen 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTThis study presents analyses based on a previous study on the subject ontogeny of Eugenics in the New Classification Scheme for Chinese Libraries (CCL) and the Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC). In the bibliographic records using the CCL and the NDC, I ask (1) what are the concepts in the titles of the works about Eugenics? (2) What are the subject headings frequently assigned to the works about Eugenics? Answers to the questions not only identify underrepresented aspects of Eugenics in the schemes but also provide insights into the meanings and usages of the term Eugenics in different contexts. Further, these results encourage us to reflect on the relationship between cataloging practices and classification principles and warrants.

Authors: Mills J. Elizabeth , Campana Katie , Martens Marianne , Haines Claudia 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTTechnology is an integral part of our society and has taken root in various aspects of young children's lives. A 2014 nationwide survey of children's librarians' use of new media with young children and their caregivers established baseline results. An expanded version of this survey will be administered in August 2018 to provide a longitudinal view of children's librarians' use of new media with young children and their caregivers as well as insight into their role as media mentors–guiding families and modeling effective practices in working towards a balanced media diet for today's youth. This poster will provide the 2018 survey design and findings that will speak to change in practices and prevalence of technology from 2014 and provide selections from the emergent data regarding various new areas of inquiry around diversity, attitudes, and evaluation.
Wandering as information behavior in new environments
Authors: Oh Chiyoung , Butler Brian S. , Jean Beth St. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTToday, more and more people migrate to different parts of the world. Previous studies showed that these newcomers use various online and social sources to acquire information in new countries, but a few recent studies have indicated that “wandering” is a type of information behavior that newcomers use to become familiar with their new environments. This paper extends our knowledge of wandering behavior by examining international newcomer students' wandering and information acquisition based on findings from a study of international students' information behavior. Also, we add to the existing literature on information behavior (IB) models and theoretical concepts by analyzing wandering through the lenses of Wilson's information behavior model and Erdelez's concept of information encountering.
Information porter: A study on intangible cultural heritage databases of provincial public libraries in china
Authors: Runhao Chen 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTInterest in intangible cultural heritage (ICH) from UNESCO and other groups has grown in recent years, precipitating the need for greater attention to digital ICH and ICH databases in this area. This research aims to measures the ICH databases, and to explore the role of public libraries in the protection of ICH. [Methodology] According to accessing the websites of 31 provincial public libraries in China, the study collects and analyses the names, copyright, metadata of the ICH databases. [Finding] The research finds that more than 60% provincial public libraries have ICH database, and there are three kinds of ICH database's name, the copyright of databases belongs to provincial public libraries, the National Cultural Information Resources Sharing Project, and Superstar Co., Ltd. The metadata used by each database is not uniform. [Conclusion] Those databases are still in the record stage, mainly for publicity and display ICH projects, can't reaching the goal of digital inheritance. The lack of national uniform standards also leads to disunity of naming and metadata on databases. Libraries just play the role of information porters without more innovations.
Computational social science using topic modeling: Analyzing patients' values using a large hospital survey
Authors: Shovkun Mariia , Fleischmann Kenneth R. , Xie Bo 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we explore new approaches for combining manual and automatic content analysis. We compare three approaches to topic modelling: Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), and Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP). We applied all three approaches to study a corpus of 21,085 free‐response answers to questions from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. We built topic models using the algorithms. Our preliminary results indicate that LSA and LDA yielded more useful results than HDP. We thematically analyzed the topic models and found similarities and differences in the factors that influenced patients' satisfaction with doctors and nurses.
Augmented reality for library literacy: Collaborating for innovative instruction and content development
Authors: Traas Wendy , Kuskowski Alexandra , Meyers Eric M. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTAlthough it is most often employed in informal settings, augmented reality (AR) is emerging as an exciting way to bring playful, engaging mobile technologies into formal learning environments, such as the academic library. In this poster we document a multi‐year design‐based exploration of augmented reality employed to enhance library‐based information literacy instruction. In a scholar‐practitioner partnership between an academic library and faculty and students in an MLIS program, the project team developed an iterative approach to designing, creating, and evaluating AR materials and an app that were integrated with the existing information literacy program at two branch libraries. The emphasis on learning outcomes, both for the participants of information literacy instruction sessions, as well as the MLIS students, differentiate this work from other AR projects that emphasize playful engagement over explicit skill development. We reflect on the affordances and constraints of using AR in academic libraries, as well as the value of scholar‐practitioner partnerships for enhancing library‐based instruction.
iWords: Exploring the interdisciplinary vocabularies of information research
Authors: Tulloch Bonnie , Shankar Saguna , Kaczmarek Michelle , Hoff Andrea , Nathan Lisa P. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTLanguage presents an insightful lens through which to consider issues of identity and interdisciplinarity within the field of information science. Through a multiphase research project, we seek to facilitate discussion among practitioners, graduate students and faculty about the way words shape our conceptualizations of information research. This work reports on the theoretical underpinnings of our inquiry and provides preliminary results from the first phase of our project, which included a workshop with 22 members of the iSchool community. During this arts‐based workshop, participants created keyword cards and word dice to generate dialogues about the role of language in the field of information research. Moving forward, we will adopt a Social Interactional Approach (De Fina & Georgakopoulou, 2008) to the narrative analysis of these artefacts, exploring the ways scholars used them to frame their research and construct their professional identities.
Fake it to make it, media literacy, and persuasive design: Using the functional triad as a tool for investigating persuasive elements in a fake news simulator
Authors: Urban Alex , Hewitt Carl , Moore Joi 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACTHow can we motivate social media users to critically analyze potential misinformation? Video games may be one way. This project presents research on a social‐impact game, Fake It to Make It, which positions players as for‐profit misinformation disseminators. Drawing upon the BJ Fogg's Functional Triad for Persuasive Computers and paying particular attention to the usability and perceived credibility of Fake It to Make It, this research analyzed the game from a persuasive design lens using player‐participant data. This was accomplished through screen‐captured gameplay as well as interviews and retrospective think‐alouds. Additionally, to determine if the game affects abilities to assess claims on social media, pre‐ and post‐intervention media literacy assessments were utilized. With this data, the researchers provide design recommendations to increase usability, influence procedural knowledge on social media, and promote continued gameplay and greater emotional/behavioral impact.
Fe(OTf)3: An Efficient Catalyst for Michael Addition Reactions of Homoaromatic C‐H Nucleophiles with Nitrostyrenes under Microwave Irradiation in Solvent‐Free Condition
Authors: Bhuyan Pubanita , Bhuyan Amar J. , Nyodu Mimik , Chelleng Nilamoni , Saikia Lakhinath 
Published: February 2019

AbstractAvailable procedures for Michael addition reaction of homoaromatic C−H nucleophiles (N,N‐dialkylanilines and their cyclic analogues) with nitrostyrenes are observed to be very time consuming (18‐72 h). So, a gentle effort has been made to reduce the time requirement, which is reported herein. Our developed methodology makes use of commercially available Fe(OTf)3 as an efficient catalyst (5 mol%) under microwave irradiation (700 W, 120 °C) and solvent‐free condition and found to be capable of furnishing the Michael adducts in 40–98% yields within 10–20 minutes (19 examples). The regioselectivity of addition of N,N‐dialkylanilines and their cyclic analogues to nitrostyrene derivatives is observed to be exclusively para. The methodology can be extended to the use of cinnamaldehyde as Michael acceptor (2 examples). Three of our Michael addition products are denitrohydrogenated to achieve their corresponding alkylated arenes which paves an effective two‐step synthetic route for p‐alkylated N,N‐dilalkylanilines. Ability to reduce the time requirement by a huge margin (from days to minutes), exclusion of solvent system, exclusive para addition of the homoaromatics to nitrostyrenes are the features of attraction of the developed methodology. The proposed two‐step procedure for regioselective synthesis of p‐alkylated N,N‐dialkylanilines should attract readers’ attention.
