Intersectional Information Work Practices: Surfacing Care amidst COVID‐19
Authors: Poole  , Poole Alex H. 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis paper brings together and enriches the heretofore dispersed literature on information work and information practices. It does so under the auspices of Critical Race Theory (CRT), specifically intersectionality, and care work. Using the COVID‐19 pandemic in the United States as the context for an exploratory, qualitative case study, we propose the concept of intersectional information work practices (IIWP) to denote the cluster of information‐centric tasks in which Black women carers engaged. Seeking, scanning, searching, monitoring, finding, receiving, retrieving, using, and sharing information—Black women carers performed each of these IIWPs in dealing with health care providers, tests, illness and treatment, wellness, logistics, and avoiding misinformation. An IIWP lens sheds light on the too often invisible labor of Black women carers. Such a lens also brings into high relief the importance of scrutinizing power and (in)equity, race, gender, and class in exploring foundational Information Science concepts.
Virtual Vessels of Empowerment: Exploring Everyday Resilience Building Tactics in Online Forums Focused on Nurturing Professional Development of Women in Technical Domains
Authors: Sengupta Subhasree 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTWork and learning are essential facets of our existence, yet socio‐cultural barriers may limit access and opportunity in such contexts. Women historically have faced several restrictions that have hindered their entry into professional ventures. Such constraints also manifest in technical domains, due to the sociocultural barriers in these fields which have placed such voices at the margins. These barriers have been associated with strife, turmoil, and emotional strain for those affected. Hence, it is important to investigate how women can subvert such structural limitations and can find channels through which they can seek support and guidance to navigate their careers. Motivated by this aim, this work through mixed inferences drawn from content and emotion analysis of 1,062 conversational threads embarks on a preliminary investigation of a subreddit (r/girlsgonewired) to understand the ways in which community practices may emerge in such channels to provide various dimensions of support and resilience‐building to help manage the struggles and travails of everyday life. The long‐term goal for this work is to address the way in which such channels can be designed, maintained, and curated to offer spaces for enrichment, empowerment, and advocacy with a focus on professional development for women in technical domains.

“Prove It!” A User Centered Design for the Blockchain‐Based Research Lifecycle Transparency Framework
Authors: Chang Yun‐Chi , Kung Li‐Fei , Hsiao Hsu‐Chun , Jeng Wei 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis work develops a user‐centric interface for an existing blockchain‐based research transparency framework. As researchers in different disciplines may have different research data management and reproducibility needs, we first conducted an exploratory study to comprehend their motivations and expectations when managing research records. We analyzed data from a design thinking workshop with 17 participants and conducted six interviews. We have three critical components in a user‐centric interface design: 1) user‐decided autonomy, 2) a progress dashboard, and 3) research‐team management. In the future, we would like to build an scholarly information ecosystem that fosters safe research lifecycle transparency with the assistance of technology. Thus, we plan to accumulate more interview data from different fields to improve the design of the user‐centric client.
Screen Media Modeling & Mentoring: Parents' Views
Authors: Cox Evelyn D. , Abbas June M. , Munyao Moses M. , Agosto Denise E. 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTScreen media modeling and mentoring is an important factor of family media practices and for tech readiness of digital youth. The authors conducted a qualitative study to examine the media practices within families with children ages 5–11. Semi structured interviews with 51 parents revealed that parents and other significant people, such as grandparents, siblings, friends, and community members, mentor or model media practices with children but practices vary between families and within contexts. Further, there are direct and sustained impacts on children's screen media behaviors when parents actively participate in mentoring or modeling of screen media with their children. Findings also shed light on other influencing factors of screen media engagement, such as modeling styles, parent's prior experience and comfort with technology, personal backgrounds, and concerns about their own use of screen media. Findings are useful as information professionals engage with children when navigating the post‐Covid digital landscape.
The Incessancy of #gobacktothekitchen and Responses to Normalized Online Misogyny
Authors: Daly Diana , Smith Maddie Raeann , Bao Duo 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis research arose from the iVoices project collection of student technology experiences guiding research. In response to students being told to “go back to the kitchen” while gaming and reading as “female”, our team analyzed TikTok for videos hashtagged #gobacktothekitchen and #backtothekitchen across a one‐year period. We also performed deeper analysis on comeback appeals eliciting or offering suggestions of responses to “Go back to the kitchen” and related misogyny and their responses. We found videos were typically created by “girl gamers” toward whom “back to the kitchen” misogyny had been directed, and who tagged them to assign networked meanings to their experiences, encapsulate their struggles for broad publics, and find validation with users sharing similar experiences. A salient theme in comeback appeal posts was performing positions of power to gain leverage over aggressors, while comments frequently offered support from other “girl gamers” and reinforcement of misogynistic stereotypes by male‐identified aggressors.
Sensitively Describing Objects Made to Represent Humans: A Case Study of Dolls at the Strong National Museum of Play
Authors: Graf Ann 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis poster will present early findings on a study of 188 records for dolls at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, examined for evidence of descriptive practices applied to objects representing non‐white humans. The work represented herein is preliminary in nature and will provide a model for further, in‐depth research on how catalogers approach description of objects that are not human, yet that represent humans real or imaginary. While much research has been carried out on culturally insensitive description and subject headings applied to racial, cultural, and other human groups (Drabinski, 2013; Roberto, 2008; Watson, 2021), there is a lack of research that examines the same kinds of description applied to objects that represent humans.
A Preliminary Analysis between Available and Shared Resources for the Lebanese Job Crisis
Authors: Khoury Christy 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThe Port of Beirut, Lebanon explosion on August 4, 2020, forced increased emigration of the Lebanese people, as they sought stability outside of their economically and politically volatile country (Farhat, 2021). Thus, families remaining in Lebanon are more dependent than ever on remittances. However, the ability of families to receive remittances is contingent on the success of those emigrating from Lebanon to gain employment. Job seekers often turn to the internet for career information from communication platforms like Reddit and dedicated job forums, like Jobs for Lebanon, among other institutional resources. This study focuses on these online institutional resources' hyperlink network, as hyperlink networks can represent a collective public good (Fu & Shumate, 2016). Data collection resulted in a network of 148 institutions. Yet with the plethora of resources available, the Lebanese community is still undergoing ineffective job searching. This preliminary research explores thse barrier between institutionally presented job resources and Lebanese job seekers by comparing the structure of the existing institutional resource network to resources shared in a leading online community. A network analysis of 148 institutions reveals: (1) unproductive job information exchange between major institutions, and (2) an opportunity for institutions to better support Lebanese job seekers.
Intertwining Search and Non‐Search Activities during Cross‐Session Search Tasks
Authors: Li Yuan , Capra Rob 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTUsers often conduct cross‐session searches to look for information over time, especially for complex tasks. Cross‐session search activities may be intermixed with periods of direct engagement to implement the work task (potentially based on information found during search). Much prior work has focused on analyzing the changes in search activities between sessions and on trying to predict task continuation. Less consideration has been paid to the non‐search task activities and their influence on search sessions. We conducted a diary study to investigate cross‐session search behavior in real‐life tasks. Our preliminary analysis identified eight types of non‐search task activities people conducted in‐between their cross‐session search processes. We also observed three different patterns regarding how users' search sessions intertwined with non‐search activities. Our findings provide evidence‐based insights about cross‐session search process in real‐world task contexts and provide insight into the underlying reasons for users' search behaviors during cross‐session search.
Redeeming by Unlearning: A Critical Discourse Analysis of COVID‐19 Vaccine Hesitancy on Facebook
Authors: Ma Jinxuan , Bonnici Laurie 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTAs false and debunked claims about the COVID‐19 virus and vaccines were pervasively disseminated across online social networks, their detrimental effects necessitated that social media companies track down and remove the disinformation. To explore the lingering vaccine hesitancy and resistance within a vaccine discussion group on Facebook, this study applies a nascent framework called Information Acts in three communication styles. Employing critical discourse analysis methodology, this study showed that the dominant communication styles of vaccine hesitant participants (VHPs) are locutionary and perlocutionary acts. Those VHPs can reduce and eventually end their vaccine hesitancy and resistance in the process of informative and rational communication and interactive and ad‐hoc support for informed decision‐making. The results pose challenges and opportunities for public health communication and information provision to cultivate information resilience and interventions targeting VHPs.
Cross‐Analysis of Researchers' Different Shared File Management Activities in Cloud Storage
Authors: Oh Kyong Eun 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTUsing cloud storage for collaborative projects has become common practice among researchers. However, despite its popularity, we lack an understanding of researchers' shared file management practices in cloud storage. More importantly, although researchers engage in various shared file management activities (i.e., create, update, organize, find/re‐find, keep, archive, and delete) in cloud storage, no studies have comparatively investigated these activities. Based on 475 responses from researchers collected through an online survey, this study examined researchers' different shared file management activities by focusing on the differences in the frequency, perceived ease of use, and satisfaction for each activity, and identified well‐supported activities as well as activities that require increased support. This study deepens our understanding of researchers' shared file management practice in cloud storage by cross‐examining an array of shared file management activities, and contributes to the development of tools and applications that better support researchers' shared file management in cloud storage.
Seeing Resilience in Students: Information Literacy as a Social Practice for Academic Instruction Librarians
Authors: Rath Logan 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis poster will describe a dissertation project that consisted of a questionnaire and interview phase followed by a focus group and semi structured diary phase. This project investigated the theory‐to‐practice gap in seeing information literacy as a socially constructed practice among academic instruction librarians. Phase one consisted of 17 interviews that were coded and analyzed using grounded theory approaches. The second phase of the research introduced the resulting grounded theory to new participants. The participants then took part in two focus groups, one at the start of the semester and one at the end of the fall 2021 semester. Between the two focus groups participants completed semi structured diary entries related to their instruction sessions. Grounded theory approaches were used to modify the original theory into the current iteration.
Self‐disclosure of Mentally Ill individuals in Private Facebook Groups: The Means‐End Chain Model
Authors: Rothschild Nava , Aharony Noa 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTThis study focuses on mentally ill individuals' self‐disclosure in Facebook private groups. The research corpus consists of 30 semi‐structured personal interviews. The study was conducted according to a qualitative paradigm and the means–end approach. The aim of the study was to examine which features of Facebook groups, and which personal values encourage the mentally ill to reveal their personal story in private groups. Results indicate that a sense of personal security in the group, self‐fulfillment and, most importantly a sense of belonging to the group are the three main values that contribute to mentally ill individuals' choice to engage in self‐disclosure on Facebook private groups. This research can assist developers to design better tools that will suit the unique needs of mentally ill people and provide them an appropriate platform where they can express their voice.
United for Justice? A Critical Review of Social Justice Research in Information Science and Technology
Authors: Tacheva Zhasmina , Namvarrad Sepideh 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTAs calls for justice in science and technology grow louder, the number of studies that seek to center equity and justice continues to grow. While the resulting body of knowledge is commonly assumed to constitute a monolith in terms of its theories, methods, priorities, and communities, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the diversity of the extant justice‐oriented research in information science and technology. Specifically, we show that, similar to other emerging research streams, as certain justice‐oriented works become well‐known and enter the mainstream, the margins once again shift and new, even more progressive ideas appear on the epistemological horizon, fighting for visibility. This study argues that instead of becoming too comfortable with what has now become the justice‐oriented mainstream, the information science and technology literature should learn from the vanguard ideas in this area, some of which are presently being silently neglected.
How Does Awe Fuel Information Seeking? A Mixed‐methods, Virtual Reality Study
Authors: Urban Alex 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTAwe experiences may increase awareness of knowledge gaps and promote inquiry. However, the relationship between awe and exploratory behavior, such as information seeking, remains unclear. To explore awe as an antecedent for information seeking, participants (n = 17) were exposed to a variety of virtual reality (VR) awe elicitors, and their quantitative and qualitative responses were gathered. One day later, participants responded to follow‐up questionnaires. Then, within one week, a stratified sample (n = 4) completed interviews. To determine which awe elicitors were the most curiosity‐provoking, the study utilized descriptive statistics as well as mixed‐effects logistic regressions. The study also included interpretative phenomenological analysis of the qualitative laboratory responses and interview transcripts. The findings suggest that awe‐inspiring VR content may be a valuable technique to promote intrinsic motivations for inquiry, but future design research is necessary to bridge the gap between intent and behavior.
From Communities of Practice to Smart and Connected Communities: Information Sharing Practices Among Social Service Providers
Authors: Slota Stephen C. , Nigam Ishan , Fleischmann Kenneth R. , Greenberg Sherri R. , Cruz David 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTTo be a smart and connected community is an aspiration and orientation. A goal of smart and connected communities is to make more effective and consistent use of data, information, and technology, and in many ways to operate at a critical junction between community members and an imagined future structured around a particular vision of the role of government, the role of participation, and often‐conflicting visions of what these might become. This paper reports findings from 32 semi‐structured interviews with stakeholders in the City of Austin Continuum of Care (CoC), a collaborative group of organizations working to end homelessness in the Austin/Travis County region, as well as critical analysis of their collaborative and siloed data resources. The key themes that emerged in this case study include the continual process of “becoming” a smart and connected community, focusing on the development and “accretion” of data and informational infrastructure, and its impact on the communities of practice related to providing services to people experiencing homelessness. The information behaviors of the stakeholders of the CoC demonstrates ongoing movement towards more collaborative resolutions of issues of data quality and interoperability, alongside a negotiation of the role of data‐intensive structuring of collaborations and work.
Potential exposure and risk assessment of agricultural workers to the insecticide chlorantraniliprole in rice paddies

Published: October 2022

AbstractBACKGROUNDExposure of agricultural workers in rice paddies to the insecticide chlorantraniliprole and its subsequent potential health risks were investigated during two scenarios (mixing/loading and hand‐held spraying). The exposure factors, such as the outer dosimeter, inner dosimeter, gauze, and nitrile gloves, were calculated using whole‐body dosimetry to measure dermal exposure. The inhalation exposure was determined using a fiberglass filter which is set with an Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) sampler. A recovery test was performed to evaluate the accuracy of the analytical method.RESULTSThe exposure amounts of various matrices were calculated from extraction volume and concentration of the target compound. The dermal exposure to chlorantraniliprole was 0.6 mg [0.001% of the total active ingredient (a.i.)] for mixing and loading, and 28.6 mg (0.066% of the total a.i.) for application. The inhalation exposure to chlorantraniliprole was 7.2 μg (1.3%, 1.2 × 10−5% of the total applied a.i.) for mixing and loading, and 1.9 μg (0.006%, 4.4 × 10−6% of the total applied a.i.) for application. The most exposed part of the body was the hand (90.4%) during mixing and loading, whereas the primary sites during application were the thighs (32.8%) and shins (22.6%). For mixing and loading, the amount of actual dermal exposure was 5.5 μg day−1 and that of actual inhalation exposure was 21.9 μg day−1. By contrast, in the application, the amounts of actual dermal and actual inhalation exposures were 34 178.7 and 5.9 μg day−1, respectively.CONCLUSIONSThe risk assessment results demonstrated that the risk of chlorantraniliprole exposure in rice paddies was low during application than during mixing and loading. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
RNA sequencing identifies an ovary‐enriched microRNA, miR‐311‐3p, involved in ovarian development and fecundity by targeting EndophilinB1 in Bactrocera dorsalis

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is a highly invasive pest in East Asia and the Pacific. With the development of pesticides resistance, environment‐friendly pesticides are urgently needed. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of numerous biological processes, including reproduction. Thus, it is significant to identify reproductive‐related miRNAs in this notorious pest to facilitate its control, such as RNAi‐based biopesticides targeting essential miRNAs.ResultsA high‐throughput sequencing was carried out to identify miRNAs involved in reproduction from the ovary and fat body at four developmental stages [1 day (d), 5, 9, and 13 days post‐eclosion] in female B. dorsalis. Results showed that 98 and 74 miRNAs were differentially expressed in ovary and fat body, respectively, during sexual maturation. Gene ontology analysis showed that target genes involved in oogenesis and lipid particle accounted for 33% and 15% of the total targets, respectively. Among these differentially expressed miRNAs, we found by qPCR that miR‐311‐3p was enriched in the ovary and down‐regulated during sexual maturation. Injection of agomir‐miR‐311‐3p resulted in arrested ovarian development, reduced egg deposition and progeny viability. Endophilin B1 was confirmed to be the target of miR‐311‐3p, via dual‐luciferase assay and expression profiling. Knockdown of Endophilin B1 resulted in reproductive defects similar to those caused by injection of miR‐311‐3p agomir. Thus, miR‐311‐3p might play a critical role in female reproduction by targeting Endophilin B1.ConclusionOur data not only provides knowledge on the abundance of reproductive‐related miRNAs and target genes, but also promotes new control strategies for this pest. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
