'What makes this paper great?' by Jenna Bartel (iSchool, Toronto). This paper won the Best Conference Paper commendation at the Conceptions of #Library and #InformationScience Conference (CoLIS).

Theorising Notions of #Searching, (Re)Sources, & Evaluation in Light of Generative AI

Woah! Such an intriguing context for an information behaviour study! 😮 See this hot-off-the-press paper by local colleague, Perla Innocenti.

Pilgrim's progress? A field #ethnography of multimodal recording, curating, and sharing of the Camino de Santiago experience https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/85594/ #InformationBehavior #InformationBehaviour #pilgrimage #OpenAccess

I'm going to attempt to do something kind of different with my thesis; people will be able to go through it as an interactive experiment. If you'd like to muck around in the unknown for research, I'll be putting out a call for study participants this fall if all goes to plan. In the meantime, I'd like to put this out into the world: Hawthorn, my thesis' big idea translated into a game.

Is there such a thing as a typology of information needs related to lit searching? Ie
- I want to get started on this new-to-me topic
- I want to find a measure for this construct
- I want to find seminal papers on this topic
- I want to find info about this topic in a specific geography or setting
- I want to find a specific document which I kind-of remember
etc

#neuhier #newbie Hi, I've now also made over. I am a professor for information didactics and knowledge transfer at the FH Potsdam and I look forward to an exciting exchange with you about (digital) #highereducation and #informationbehavior, especially in transdisciplinary knowledge transfer

I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:

I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.

My work and research touch on:

**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.

**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.

**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.

**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...

**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.
