CRiTical Race Information Theory as Innovative Pedagogy, Act Two: Still Harder Than You Think, and It Remains a Beautiful Thing

This counterstory began with “CRiTical Race Information Theory as Innovative Pedagogy, Act One: Harder Than You Think, It's a Beautiful Thing.” In the first act, the authors introduced Critical Race information Theory (CRiT) as a rapidly developing iteration of Critical Race Theory (CRT) applied within information settings. The first act also introduced the CRiT frameworks and tenets as well as the CRiT's three-dimensional infrastructure: CRiT as pedagogy, CRiT as praxis, and CRiT as theory (including the process and nuances of theory building). In this article, the authors transition from the first act's “What is CRiT?” discussion to the second act's discussion of how to “Make it CRiT.” Whereas act one covered an approximately 15-year period, this second act moves at a more rapid pace, primarily because it covers a shorter period of time (2021–2023). In act two, the CRiT as pedagogy setting changes from the context of the pilot course launched within the Department of Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles to CRiT as pedagogy providing two offerings to Dominican University's School of Information Studies foundational course electives in its ALA-accredited curriculum. Before concluding, the second act offers inspiration and encouragement both to those who offer their critical race work as expressions of transformative, difference-making contributions and to those who aspire to develop and then offer their critical race creations.

A Framework for Person-Centred Recordkeeping Drawn through the Lens of Out-of-Home Child-Care Contexts

This article examines the concept of co-created and person-centred recordkeeping and the needs for this in out-of-home child-care contexts, drawing out a recordkeeping framework. The article uses the research of the UK MIRRA (Memory – Identity – Rights in Records – Access) project as its critical evidence base. MIRRA is a participatory research project, hosted at the Department of Information Studies at University College London (UCL) since 2017, which places Care Leavers as co-researchers at the heart of the work. The study has gathered evidence from care-experienced people, social workers, archivists, records managers, and researchers. The case context of care-experienced people provides a powerful focus for shifting views of records creation and ownership. Care-experienced people across the globe are situated within organizational systems that act as surrogate parents, but where the children or young people are often powerless to co-create and store their own memories, which would enable them to forge positive identities and revisit these through time. Positive and holistic life story narratives are rarely found. In addition, children’s care records are often accessible to care-experienced people only through legislative processes and without critical support. This research reframes the recordkeeping model, placing the care-experienced person at the heart of the process in order to ensure the co-creation of records and the maintenance of identity through time. The research acknowledges the complex and sometimes conflicting needs of diverse actors in children’s recordkeeping, including social workers, archivists, records managers, and researchers. It rethinks the actors’ relationships and responsibilities around the records and systems, drawing out a framework that makes explicit the value of active person-centred recordkeeping.

Urgent Archives: Enacting Liberatory Memory Work

Urgent Archives: Enacting Liberatory Memory Work

Project MIRRA: Memory – Identity – Rights in Records – Access

Many people who grew up in care have gaps in their childhood memories and unanswered questions about their early lives. In the absence of family photos and stories they turn to records held by the local authorities and charities that looked after them. Accessing these records is a practically and emotionally challenging process. Response times are often long and the records received are redacted because they include confidential information about “third parties’” who are often family and carers. The language and ideas contained reflect the prejudices and assumptions of previous times. Some files are extremely long and confusing, whereas others only have a few pages to cover a whole childhood. Records may have been lost or destroyed altogether. Very few services are available to support people through the experience. MIRRA: Memory-Identity-Rights in Records-Access is a participatory action research project carried out at the Department of Information Studies at University College London since 2017 that explores these issues. It considered how child social care records have been created, kept and used in public and voluntary organizations in England from 1970 to the present. The research is co-produced with care leavers in partnership with The Care Leavers’ Association and reflects on how what it is recorded about a childhood can affect the individual concerned throughout their life. This article republishes edited blog posts produced during the research project. The original blogs in full are available at https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/mirra/.

Challenges in Training Teacher-Librarians at the Department of Information Studies, University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg

The paper raises problems which are experienced by the Department of Information Studies in running the Diploma in School Librarianship (DSL). These problems relate to obstacles which interfere with attracting students into the program and getting them committed to school librarianship as a profession, and also relate to inadequacies which students bring into the program. The problems, which are outlined from observations made by faculty members in the Department, are reinforced by some literature findings. A few solutions, as attempted by the Department, are also discussed.

Use of Online Databases by the Third-Year Students in the Department of Information Studies at the University of Zululand, South Africa

Online databases are an important part of the information resources provided by universities in many countries. They are valuable and up-to-date sources of information that provide electronic access to journal articles, books, reports, the latest research in various fields, and other publications through the internet. Several studies have been done on the online databases by researchers but the use of online database by undergraduate students is the area that needs more research. This study sought to investigate the use of online databases by third-year students in the Department of Information Studies at the University of Zululand, South Africa. The study also looked at the types of online database that the students use, the training programmes that help students to use online databases, and the challenges encountered by the students when accessing online databases. The study employed a quantitative research method and adopted a survey research design with a study population of 80 third-year students from which a sample of 63 students was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires. The findings revealed that some of the third-year students are aware of the online databases that are provided by the library and some are not aware of those online databases and also that some use them and others do not use them. The study recommends that students use online databases to do their assignments and that the library promotes or markets online databases so that the students can understand the value of online databases.

Use of Electronic Books among Postgraduate Students in the Department of Information Studies at the University of Zululand, South Africa

The advancement of digital technologies has improved the information environment with more information being available and disseminated in electronic format. Electronic books have been used in the academic institutions, and academic users have recognised their potential in supporting scholarships. However, the increase in the acquisition of electronic books has brought about changes to the interface of academic institutions in the provision of electronic books to users. The aim of the study was to determine the use of electronic books among postgraduate students in the Department of Information Studies at the University of Zululand, South Africa. The study used the quantitative research method underpinned by a survey research design for the data collection. The findings show a high level of awareness of electronic books that are available at the institution and that are used by postgraduate students in learning and research. Postgraduate students access and use electronic books daily through some of the popular databases such as EBSCO Discovery Service, EBSCOhost and Emerald. However, most of the postgraduate students encountered many challenges that hinder the effective use of and access to electronic books, for example, limited access to the internet, the lack of information technology skills and the lack of training on the use of electronic books. The study recommends information and digital computer literacy training, continuous professional development, and workplace learning workshops on the access to and use of electronic books.

Alignment between Professional and Academic Preparation in Relation to the Management of Archive Specialization, Department of Information Studies at Sultan Qaboos University and the Needs of Oman Labor Market

This study aims to explore the Alignment of academic and professional preparation of the outcomes of the archive management discipline, Department of Information Studies at Sultan Qaboos University from the standpoint of employers and students regarding the needs of Omani labor market. The study adopted the mixed method approach in data collection in two principal stages: The first stage used the qualitative approach and employed the focus group for data collection from the group under study represented by students enrolled in the discipline and interviews conducted for data collection from sample group including records management staff or their deputies in matters of practical training in government institutions. The findings were analyzed using thematic analysis. The second stage is devoted to quantitative data collection as a complementary tool for the primary tool and for the purpose of in depth analysis or study in addition to enhancing the credibility of the findings by using revision forms. The forms include the paths of study in order to identify students’ views about such paths, their importance and in what way they benefited from them and the same applies to records management staff. The findings recorded a 100% consensus among the sample group that the period and time of practical training are quite sufficient for archive management students despite the fact they prefer the training to be conducted during a single semester of study instead of two semesters – that is twice per week. This is in addition to the importance of practical training courses in developing their skills and translating their knowledge into practice. The study concluded that the academic preparation of archive management students offered by the department of information studies is quite considerate and responsive to the needs of the Omani labor market and that the skills gained by the students are satisfactory for their effective deployment in the labor market. The study came up with several recommendations including the update and development of a set of paths within the plan of archive management program that keep in pace with the rapid and accelerated developments in the labor market and establishing of partnerships between government institutions and university institutions in order to strike a balance between the professional and academic preparation of students archive management studies and the needs of the labor market.

The Case against Information and the Body in Library and Information Science

The Case against Information and the Body in Library and Information Science Jenna Hartel (bio) What follows is an editorial that makes a case against the development of an empirical research frontier in library and information science (LIS) devoted to information and the body. My goal is to offer a sober and constructive counterbalance to this Library Trends special issue that is otherwise uncritical of its proposition. In asserting that original research into embodied information may be unproductive for our field, I draw from my personal experience and reflections as well as foundational conceptions of LIS from past and contemporary luminaries. My conclusion reminds all stakeholders in this Library Trends special issue of the many fascinating and urgent research questions that remain unanswered within the conventional boundaries of LIS.1 In 2003 I was a doctoral student at the Department of Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and happily learning information behavior under Marcia Bates. I enrolled in a methodology seminar offered through the Sociology Department entitled Ethnography, Ethnomethodology, and Symbolic Interactionism, taught by the late Melvin Pollner. Our class read a book-length ethnography of one sociologist's experience as the paid caretaker of a teenage girl living with severe mental and motor impairments; the study reported the sexual way the child pressed her body against her older, male assistant during their daily routine and the inexorable sexual response of his body—two haptic forms of embodied information. The aspiring sociologists and anthropologists in the course found these microsocial physical dynamics to be riveting and discussed their meaning for two hours. The next week our enlightened professor assigned an article by Lucy Suchman about the coordinated flow of information via documents in a workplace—a brilliant paper. To my surprise, my classmates were dismissive of Suchman's study. One budding sociologist remarked, "Well, the research design is solid, but it's all about these [End Page 585] documents. I mean … who really cares?" This flippant criticism left me speechless, while everyone else in the class laughed in agreement (excepting the magnanimous Dr. Pollner). To me the anecdote above is loaded with meaning for this special issue. For starters, other social sciences have long histories of studying what we are now in LIS discovering as embodied information. The German sociologist Norbert Elias's (1939) ground-breaking analysis of table manners (including blowing one's nose and spitting) established a research tradition within sociology that is centered on the body. Similarly, anthropology is home to subdisciplines devoted to research into body language and gesture (kinesics), the body in space (proxemics), touch (haptics), the experience of time (chronemics), and the use of vision (oculesics), and it goes without saying that these corporeal phenomena are seen as informative and communicatory. The aforementioned disciplines have well-developed theoretical and methodological tools to describe these bodily functions and to explain them through lenses of history, sociality, and culture. Hence, any LIS scholar interested in information and the body is a latecomer to a mature research domain; has much catching-up to do; and risks reinventing the wheel. Another notable aspect of the story above is that certain phenomena—namely, the relationship between human beings and recorded knowledge—are deemed not compelling or research-worthy by other social sciences and are eschewed. The precocious protosociologist in my story sounded almost allergic to paper. Indeed, LIS stands as the resident expert and overseer of the universe of recorded knowledge, and there are no significant contenders, a chance blessing that should be leveraged and celebrated by LIS. On the library side, this authority dates to 2000 BC and the clay tablets in the palace at Nineveh. The information science side has roots in the European documentation movement of a century ago. Later luminaries have continued to position LIS as the singular mediator between people and the documentary realm. Jesse Shera proclaimed that the library brought humankind and the graphic record into harmonious relations. Howard White positioned LIS at the intersection of people and literatures. Marcia Bates cast LIS as a metadiscipline charged with the transmission of and access to recorded knowledge. Why turn our attention away from a nexus that is historically and rightly ours...

Mobilizing Learning: Using Moodle and Online Tools via Smartphones

The emergence of smart devices such as smartphones (e.g., iPhone) and tablets (e.g., iPad) may enhance e-learning by increasing communication and collaborative learning outside the classroom. These devices also facilitate the use of online technologies such as Facebook. However, the adaptation of Learning Management System (LMS) services to mobile devices took longer than social networks or online tools such as Facebook and Twitter have already been long used via smartphone. The main purposes of this study are to explore students’ skill levels of LMS (Moodle) and their knowledge of online tools or technologies and then examine if there is a correlation between smartphone use and using of online tools and Moodle in learning. The study conducted among 173 students in the Department of Information Studies (DIS) in Oman, using online survey. The study found that most students demonstrated high levels of accessing course/subject materials and regularly engaging with studies of using LMSs. YouTube, Wikipedia and Facebook were clearly recorded as the most popular sites among students while LinkedIn and Academia.edu were two online tools that had never been heard of by over half of the 142 participants. Emailing and searching are recorded the most popular online learning activities among students. The study concluded that students prefer to use smartphone for accessing these tools rather than using it to access LMSs, while a positive correlation was found between the use of these tools and smartphones, but there was no correlation between smartphones and using LMSs.

The Specialization of Information Science and its Relationship with other Specializations: The Experience of the Department of Information Studies at Sultan Qaboos University

This study aims to explore the interdisciplinary research and courses of the Department of Information Studies (DIS) at Sultan Qaboos University with other disciplines in the university, and to explore its impact on the management and development of various academic programs of the department. To achieve this objective, the study utilized qualitative research methods such as: content analysis of documents, written plans, and course syllabi of the department and open interviews with faculty members to identify kinds of relations with other scientific disciplines they seek when building their academic programs. The study revealed that the interdisciplinary relations of the department exist in all its programs. The DIS PhD program was initiated as an interdisciplinary program in cooperation with departments of Information Systems, Management, and Computer Science. Further, the interdisciplinary path of the Masters’ program is clearly seen in the variation of topics that dissertations have discussed, which include human resources, marketing, bibliometric studies, social media, e-government, information literacy, manuscripts, and technology acceptance. The Higher Diploma in Medical Libraries is directed towards qualifying specialist librarians for health and medical libraries. Students admitted in this program are usually selected from those who apply from biology and health sciences. Lastly, in the undergraduate level, DIS provides the bachelor of Learning Resource Centers in Faculty of Education with number of specialized courses. In the main time there are many electives and required courses from different disciplines that are included in the department’s undergraduate study plan.

Using Soft Systems Methodology in Social Sciences: Improvement of the Research Methods Module at the Department of Information Studies at Sultan Qaboos University as an example

The aim of this research is to examine the usefulness of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) as an approach to develop a plan for improving the Research Methods module at the Department of Information Studies, Sultan Qaboos University. Moreover, the study examines the capacity of SSM in involving different tools for data collections including questionnaire, interviews, and document analysis for exploring the different viewpoints and needs of research participants. The results indicate that SSM greatly facilitated understanding participants’ different viewpoints regarding delivery of change. Moreover, SSM was instrumental in identifying the type and scope of the required change. The various types of conceptual models enabled accommodation of participants’ different perspectives and development of a change plan that would reflect the needs of students. The research found that SSM dealt effectively with the complexity of this situation in which different sources of information, students’ different backgrounds and perspectives, and internal and external factors all required consideration. Therefore SSM is highly recommended for use in making improvements to other social science courses and modules.

Development of Virtual Traveller: A behaviour change intervention to increase physical activity during primary school lessons

Event Abstract Back to Event Development of Virtual Traveller: A behaviour change intervention to increase physical activity during primary school lessons Emma Norris1*, Nicola Shelton1, Sandra Dunsmuir2, Oliver Duke-Williams3 and Emmanuel Stamatakis1, 4 1 University College London, Department of Epidemiology & Public Health, United Kingdom 2 University College London, Department of Clinical Educational and Health Psychology, United Kingdom 3 University College London, Department of Information Studies, United Kingdom 4 University of Sydney, Charles Perkins Centre, Australia Background Children spend a large amount of their time in obligatory seated school lessons, with notable effects on health and cognitive outcomes. A common issue reported by teachers is a lack of time to incorporate physical activity into the school day alongside academic pressures. As such, emerging research is attempting to convert educational time from sedentary to active via physically active lessons. However this existing research does not utilise Behaviour Change concepts, making comparability and replicability difficult (Norris, Shelton, Dunsmuir, Duke-Williams, & Stamatakis, 2015a). The Virtual Traveller programme is the first to test Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) as physically active lessons. These utilise existing classroom interactive whiteboards to integrate globe-based educational content with related physical movements. Aim(s) This research aimed to develop a 6-week ‘Virtual Traveller’ intervention based around the Behaviour Change Wheel and Behaviour Change Techniques Method / Results Three sources of data were used to inform the intervention development process: the existing research literature on school-based physical activity interventions, teacher interviews (N=12) and pupil focus groups (N=18) and an experimental feasibility study (N=85; Norris, Shelton, Dunsmuir, Duke-Williams, & Stamatakis, 2015b). The Behaviour Change Wheel was used as a framework to guide synthesis of evidence into the resulting intervention. Potential appropriate Behaviour Change Techniques were reviewed and embedded within the intervention. Conclusions The resulting 6-week Virtual Traveller programme with a 3-month follow-up period is currently in its final stages of evaluation in ten Greater London primary schools. Using the Behaviour Change Wheel and Behaviour Change Techniques allows development of replicable health interventions in applied settings such as schools.
