Preserving contemporary newspapers: A new survey of state libraries in the USA

Newspaper collections require the use of archival science techniques and public librarianship. Indexing and public access are necessary for the provision of newspapers, while preservation underpins these efforts. In the United States, newspaper publishing tactics are changing quickly, causing upheaval in reading rooms and archival stacks. At the same time, the users’ focus upon digital access to newspapers has been wrongly conflated with the preservation formatting required to save them. A new U.S. survey of state library directors and newspaper collection managers addresses ways in which archivists and librarians evolve so that current titles with intrinsic value can be dovetailed into existing newspaper collections. Traditional practices of filming, digital image collecting, and print rotation still prevail. The survey was completed in 2023, and it is hoped that the findings will stimulate new discussions about newspaper preservation in the 21st century.

A Study on How Libraries Operate as Health Spaces in the United States.

A health space is any physical, social, or virtual space that supports building health literacy skills, promotes health behavior, preventive health, and wellbeing, or provides health care, health information, or health or social services. To move the needle on health, especially preventive health, a focus on non-traditional health spaces is critical. Libraries serve various community needs such as food distribution, health literacy, education, immunization, and health screenings. This study explores the extent to which libraries are equipped to function as a health space. A convergent mixed-methods approach was utilized; 234 library personnel were randomly recruited using data from the 2017 Public Libraries Survey to complete a survey and 24 semi-structured follow-up interviews were conducted. Our findings support that libraries function as a health space in multiple ways including providing important health and social programming and services to patrons. They help meet patron's health information needs by leveraging the expertise of community partners and incorporating valuable input from patrons in programming decisions. However, the capacity of libraries to carry out these health initiatives varies, in particular due to limited staff expertise in health-related topics and structural issues (e.g., funding). Our research emphasizes the need to integrate organizational health literacy attributes into library operations, specifically by (1) streamlining strategic partnerships with community experts in libraries in high-need areas to extend their limited resources, and (2) incorporating health literacy into missions and operations to draw necessary financial and personnel support to overcome salient challenges (i.e., funding and staff training).

Understanding Information Literacy Instructional Practices: Implications for Preparing Pre-Service Librarians

The role of academic librarians in supporting people to navigate the changing information environment is fundamental to librarianship and is critical in the current information environment. This poster focuses on the implications for educating pre-service librarians about the realities and challenges associated with that role, drawn from a national survey of instructional librarians in the U.S. The project speaks directly to the conference theme, “The Ethics and Evolution of Truth and Information,” as the survey respondents engage directly on the frontline of these issues. Implications for shaping the expectations of future instructional librarians will be revealed from findings of a national online survey currently underway. The survey returns to a series of questions motivating longitudinal surveys of librarians’ instructional practices conducted in other countries, and most recently conducted in the U.S. in 2016 (Julien 1998, 2000, 2005; Julien, Gross, & Latham, 2018; Julien & Leckie, 1997; Julien, Tan, & Merillat, 2013; Polkinghorne & Julien, 2018). These data paint a detailed picture of the daily practices of these professionals and the challenges they face. Despite changing technology, introduction of the ACRL Framework (2015), and the explosion of artificial intelligence use, many of the instructional practices and the pressures associated with the instructional role have remained stable (although the recent pandemic moved instruction online, at least for a time). Developing realistic expectations for the workplace is as relevant as is developing conceptual understanding, skills, and attitudes. Thus, the survey data provide an excellent opportunity to inform the education of master’s students.

The Utility of Swords in Kandyan and Low- country Rituals

The sword, a distinctive weapon used in various countries, holds multiple utilities across cultures. Among them, rituals featuring swords are commonly found. Sword usage is also seen in folk rituals in Sri Lanka, which hold an important place in society. The main objective of this research was to explore how the sword, a destructive weapon with sharp edges, is integrated into local dance rituals in Sri Lanka. Accordingly, the ritualistic offerings and performances involving the sword, the utility, and the purpose of sword usage in folk rituals were examined. The research problem was whether the original intent and the functions of the sword are represented when it is employed as a ritualistic artifact or theatrical prop in rituals. Since the study followed an ethnographic research approach, it relied on field research in identifying the exact perspectives of the community regarding the usage of swords in rituals. Additionally, secondary sources located via library surveys were used to gain further insights to provide a nuanced analysis. Using Kandyan and Low-country traditions as the limitations of the study, direct and indirect observations of targeted rituals were done, and interviews were conducted with expert artisans. The data analysis revealed that in folk rituals, the sword serves multiple roles, i.e., as an ornament of deities; a ritualistic artifact; and theatrical prop. Moreover, evoking heroic sentiment and blessings are some of the purposes of using swords. However, some characters that enact devils also wield swords. It was also revealed that the use of the sword in the Kandyan tradition is relatively minimal compared to the low country tradition. This is because the prevalence of characters enacting gods and devils is high in Low country dance rituals. With the exceptions of ritual performances like Kadupaliya and Wina Kepeema, swords are not commonly used for sacrificial purposes. In conclusion, the use of swords in local dance rituals serves psychotherapeutic purposes in different ways and demonstrates its primary application in unique manners by symbolizing the original weapon.

Juridical Study of Ownership of Ownership of Flats by Foreign Citizens Based on Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 concerning Land Rights Management Rights for Flats Units and Land Registration

This study aims to determine and understand the Ownership of Usage Rights of Apartment Units by Foreign Citizens Based on the Theory of Benefit. The research methods used include a statute approach and a conceptual approach, a type of normative legal research, with data collection methods through library surveys and qualitative legal analysis. The results of the study indicate that Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 provides a legal basis for foreign citizens to have usage rights over apartment units in Indonesia but does not provide full ownership rights, this regulation provides legal certainty and clear procedures, which are expected to be further elaborated in the Ministerial Regulation. The Indonesian government needs to consider allowing foreign citizens to have ownership rights over apartment units by considering the various benefits that can be obtained. This step can increase foreign investment, encourage economic growth, improve property quality, stabilize the property market, increase state revenues, and support infrastructure development. With proper regulation and strict supervision, this policy can provide significant benefits to the Indonesian economy and society as a whole.

Recent Advances In Interventional Pain Management

Introduction: Due to limited access to therapy, 60 million individuals worldwide suffer from chronic pain, with a frequency of 20–25% in some nations. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by this condition. The yearly cost of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease—including medical expenses, lost productivity, and disability programs—is less than that of pain complaints. Pain management techniques, the most recent discoveries in pain research, and the most recent advancements in pain therapy technology can work together to reduce the prevalence of chronic pain and lessen the financial burden that comes with pain syndrome. Objective: To determine the extent to which the latest technological developments in interventional pain management to personalized treatment techniques according to patient complaints and conditions. The scope of technological development here is not only pain intervention techniques but also advances in understanding the pathophysiology of pain, nerve and tissue regeneration, as well as the modalities of technology used for pain interventions. Review: By conducting literature searches including journals, systematic reviews, library surveys, and case reports from the last 10 years on the latest interventional pain management techniques and serial cases. Summary: Many new minimally invasive pain intervention techniques have been developed and used in the treatment of chronic pain within the past 10 years. The necessity for standardization of processes, safety, efficacy, cost, and accessibility to new technology and techniques are among the issues and debates surrounding technical advancements and strategies for managing chronic pain. Intervention pain management techniques have grown in importance as a less intrusive method of treating chronic pain. For optimal outcomes, used in conjunction with other pain management modalities such as medication, physical therapy, cognitive behavioral change therapy, and others.

Libraries Are Resilience Hubs

Problem, research strategy, and findings We explored the contributions of local public libraries to community resilience in the face of economic hardships, extreme weather events, and the COVID-19 pandemic using a survey of 415 library directors distributed through state library listservs in 13 Midwestern states, community-level census and presidential elections data, and library-specific data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services annual Public Libraries Survey. We found that public libraries provide invaluable resilience-boosting community services. They help patrons find jobs and access social services, often with one-on-one support. They act as daytime shelters during extreme heat and cold events, which is particularly important for unhoused and underhoused individuals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they innovated to provide delocalized services and information access, such as installing WiFi hotspots. The provision of these essential resilience-boosting services is largely independent from library resources and community contexts and appear grounded in librarians’ ethos. Our research was limited to Midwestern public libraries and thus results are not generalizable to other regions, private, academic, and specialized libraries. We did not explore the possible relationships between local political majorities that could affect local government funding and priorities and local libraries’ funding sources, levels, and services. Takeaways for practice Beyond collections and information access, public libraries provide many services relevant to community and economic development and to disaster response. In addition, local public libraries act as resilience hubs in the face of economic stressors and extreme weather events, as well as during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are ready, flexible, adaptable, and willing to support patrons in times of need. Planners seeking to enhance community resilience can work with their local public libraries to build disaster preparedness and response capacity.

Peran Pemerintah Desa dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pelayanan Publik

Service is the main task of state apparatus. The scope of public interest services and services covers a broad field of public life. This mandate is contained in the 4th paragraph of the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution, but in practice, Indonesian public services have not run well. Provisions of public service to public civil servants are actually the result of the functioning of state institutions as civil servants. Therefore, the position of government agencies in staffing is very strategic because it determines the extent to which the government can best serve the community. .According to the purpose of the establishment. The results of this study indicate that the role of the village government in improving the economy of rural communities can be seen from the indicators of this study: governance, development implementation, community empowerment, and village community empowerment.

PERSEPSI MASYARAKAT TERHADAP BAGI HASIL BANK SYARIAH (STUDI KASUS DI DESA SEDERHANA PERDAGANGAN II)

Many people think that profit sharing is the same as conventional bank interest. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of the Sederhana Village community towards the Islamic bank profit sharing system. This type of research uses a qualitative approach and collects data from the people of Sederhana village by using library materials (library survey). Data collection methods are observation and interview. The data analysis method is by reducing the data and presenting the data to draw conclusions. The knowledge of the Sederhana village community regarding benefit sharing is still relatively low. This is because, in addition to never having been an Islamic bank customer, this community also admits the lack of information and socialization related to this profit sharing. This lack of understanding is one of the factors that influence the perception of most people in Sederhana Village, so they still assume or suspect that profit sharing and conventional bank interest are not much different in the use of Islamic banking services and services.

The role of human beings as Caliphs in preserving nature

Islam is a comprehensive religion that encompasses all aspects of society's life, including social, economic, political, cultural, and environmental dimensions. The environment is regarded as a manifestation of God's greatness, containing pearls of wisdom bestowed upon human beings to make them realize that everything is under the control of God (Allah SWT). However, the balance of nature can be disrupted by excessive exploitation caused by human activities. This is evident in various contemporary environmental issues, particularly in terms of biodiversity and climate. As Caliphs on Earth, human beings bear the responsibility of actively safeguarding the environment. Furthermore, Islam emphasizes the implementation of responsible development and adherence to the principles of sustainability. Therefore, this study focuses on the role of human beings as Caliphs on Earth, highlighting their responsibility in conserving and preserving the environment. The study examines two main aspects, namely education and politics, that can contribute to effective environmental preservation. The research methodology employed in this study is a library survey.

The Information Behavior of African American Teens

Research on the information-seeking behavior of teens has produced numerous articles over the past decade. Although a good number of research articles list sociocultural factors, such as identity, as playing a critical role in teen’s information-seeking behavior, very few explicitly cover racial identity. The goal of this study is to examine the everyday life information-seeking behavior of African American teens, using previously applied information-seeking models. Though African American teens are not alone in their ethnic experience, they are unique in that decades of systemic racism and inequality impacts their academic standing. The literature review examines research on the everyday life information-seeking (ELIS) behavior of teens, sources of teen information acquisition, modes of information-seeking, and factors that impact teen information-seeking behavior. Additionally, limited existing research on the information behavior of African American communities is reviewed. The findings are that the existing information-seeking behavior research has noticeable contradictory results in regard to African American communities. This mixed-method study will use observations, interviews, and online surveys of African American teens and librarians. The findings will be compared to previous teen information behavior research to see if and how African American teens’ information-seeking behavior is impacted by socio-cultural factors such as cultural beliefs, norms, and institutional barriers. This research would assist in clarifying the information behavior of African American youth and potentially influence information literacy education to be more inclusive and culturally responsive, and thus more impactful in lifelong learning for all youth.

Bridging the Literal Gap to Develop New Research Partnerships

The School Library Media Special Interest Group session offered multiple opportunities to “bridge the gap” between passive listening to the research of others and active engagement in the research of others through collaborations. Developing research collaborations informs future practice through teaching and learning, as well as in practice. As one example of a research project, Dr. Tara Zimmerman presented her study “Awareness and Critical Thinking (ACT) Program: How School Librarians Can Teach Children to Detect and Avoid Misinformation”. Dr. Zimmerman’s project is funded by a three-year early career grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The spread of misinformation is a recognized threat to democratic societies, and children are particularly susceptible due to increased use of digital technology, particularly in education. The Awareness and Critical Thinking (ACT) Program is a proposed research project to investigate and strengthen school librarians’ role in educating students about the dangers of misinformation, how to detect it, and avoid it. Based on a survey of school librarians, curriculum will be developed and piloted in several states. Finally, the fully scaffolded, flexible curriculum will be made available to all schools, supplemented with teaching tips and examples gained from the program. This research on teaching children to identify misinformation segued smoothly into more active participation in “Speed Dating a Researcher.” Opportunities to confer one-to-one with other researchers in the field of school librarianship are rare. By "thin-slicing” or using limited information from a narrow period of experience, we can draw conclusions which may be as good as, or even better than, carefully planned and considered ones (Gladwell, 2007). One example of thin slicing is speed dating. Through this matchmaking process, eligible research partners had the opportunity to meet new potential partners in a very short period. Rows of chairs were arranged to seat participants knee-to-knee so that attendees literally needed to “bridge the gap” between to chat about their research. Participants rotated to meet each other over a series of short "dates" lasting five minutes. Participants were encouraged to discuss their own research, research that they have read about and found interesting, or a possible future research project. At the end of each interval, the conveners rang a bell to signal the participants to move on to the next date. At the end of the event participants submitted to the conveners a list of who they would like to provide their contact information to. When matches were made, contact information was forwarded to both parties. Contact information was not traded during the initial meeting to reduce pressure to accept or reject a researcher in person. Participants were informed of these activities prior to the conference at the SIG business meeting and through the SIG listserv. They were encouraged to bring their ideas and business cards with them to prepare for making new research partnerships. Nametags and forms to request matches were supplied at the event to actively engage participants in this collaborative process.
