Introduction. This paper reports the findings of a survey on personal electronic records management practices focussing on records that people deal with in their everyday lives at home. The aim of this research was to determine which personal electronic records practices were most effective in averting oversights and generating satisfaction in participant’s records management practices. This paper presents one stage of a broader design science research program. Method. The research for this paper was conducted by means of an online questionnaire using Qualtrics software and participants were recruited through social media. Analysis. Analysis was conducted using tabular analysis in SPSS, and Principal Component Analysis in R. Results. The research found that there is a statistical relationship between the practices that respondents adopted with their personal electronic records management and their level of satisfaction with that process. For example, respondents who saved records on a computer or in the cloud reported higher levels of satisfaction with how they managed their personal records and experienced fewer adverse incidents such as losing documents or failing to pay bills on time. Conclusion. The paper concludes by identifying some specific personal records management practices that are likely to improve satisfaction with that task, such as saving and sorting records that need to be retained outside of email in a structured filing system.

Research in interdisciplinary fields like biomechanics is published in a variety of journals whose visibility depends on bibliometric indexing that is often driven by citation analysis of bibliometric databases. This study documented variation in publication metrics and research subject categories assigned to 14 biomechanics journals. Authors, citation, and citation rate (CR) were collected for the top 15 cited articles in the journals retrieved from the Google Scholar service. Research subject categories were also extracted for journals from three databases (Dimensions, Journal Citation Reports, and Scopus). Despite the focus on biomechanics for the journals studied, these biomechanics journals have widely varying CR and subject categories assigned to them. There were significant (p=0.001) and meaningful (77-108%) differences in median CR between average, low, and high CR groups of these biomechanics journals. Since CR are primary data used to calculate most journal metrics and there is no one biomechanics subject category, field normalization for journal citation metrics in biomechanics is difficult. Care must be taken to accurately interpret most citation metrics of biomechanics journals as biased proxies of general usage of research, given a specific database, time frame, and area of biomechanics research.

Participants in real-time online sessions, be it (business) meetings, virtual school lessons, or social live streams, all engage in cyber social interactions. Unlike parasocial interactions, cyber social interactions are characterized by reciprocity and temporal proximity. In contrast to social interactions, they lack spatial proximity and bodily contact. This is a fairly new concept in information science that rose from technological advances and unprecedented circumstances (e.g., the rise of digital economy and knowledge workers being able to work remotely or, more recently, global lockdowns and contact restrictions). As a result, the past ways of working and socializing were transformed by making them, in some cases predominantly, virtual. Regarding the example of social live streaming we exhibit the importance of cyber social interactions for information behavior research. This conceptual article is a plea for information science to engage more in human-human online relations and interactions.

RESUMO A Gestão da Informação (GI) é uma necessidade em vários contextos organizacionais e esta exigência se estende aos processos e seus respectivos fluxos informacionais. Todavia e a partir da literatura consultada, nota-se que não há um consenso teórico e prático sobre o que é a GI e quais são suas características essenciais. Sob esta argumentação, justifica-se a proposição deste estudo. O presente artigo objetiva levantar os aspectos teóricos e conceituais da GI propondo uma definição atual e consensual para este termo. Metodologicamente, em um primeiro momento, uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os princípios e os fundamentos da GI foi realizada. Em um segundo momento, baseada na Teoria do Conceito de Dahlberg e nos princípios de indexação do UNISIST foi proposta uma definição atual e consensual para a GI. Buscou-se responder a seguinte questão: considerando o panorama teórico e conceitual, quais são as características essenciais para propor uma definição atual e consensual ao termo GI? Como resultado, constatou-se que a GI está relacionada à gestão do ciclo de vida da informação, aos fluxos informacionais, à gestão organizacional e à tecnologia da informação e comunicação. Espera-se que os desdobramentos proporcionados por este estudo tragam luz e sejam utilizados pelos profissionais e pela comunidade acadêmica seja no aperfeiçoamento da teoria, seja na pratica organizacional relativa à GI.

Мета статті – розкрити жанрово-стильові особливості автопередмов Оксани Забужко в парадигмі письменницької публіцистики. Звернення до таких методів, як біографічний, історичний, порівняльний, аксіологічний, дискурсологічний дало можливість багатоаспектно розкрити предмет дослідження, зокрема довести приналежність літературної критики до публіцистики, вказати на процеси модифікації в сучасному жанрі автопередмови та його причетність до літератури non-fiction, прокоментувати соціальнокомунікативний і духовний потенціал творів письменниці цього жанру, осмислити їхній громадянський пафос у співмірності із суспільними подіями в Україні поч. ХХІ ст., висвітлити прояв особливостей індивідуального стилю авторки з урахуванням її новаторства. Автопередмови Оксани Забужко яскраво репрезентують публіцистику доби глобалізації, спрямованої на інтелектуалізацію масової свідомості. Вони реалізуюють публіцистичні мотиви історичної пам’яті, ставлення жінки до війни, функції митця в карколомний період національної історії. Жанрово-стильові особливості автопередмов (мотивація написання твору, до якого написана передмова, що включає аналіз суспільно-політичних факторів зародження його задуму в причетності до фактів біографії письменниці; громадянський пафос та лірична сповідальність наративу; літературно-критичний коментар власного твору, позначений постмодерним письмом; філософська наснаженість суб’єктивних оцінок актуальних проблем кін. ХХ–поч. ХХІ ст.; пріоритетність образу автора-публіциста – інтелектуала, політика, жінки, патріота) дозволяють нам стверджувати приналежність їх саме до публіцистики, а не до аналітичного жанру журналістики чи науки про літературу. Явища інтертекстуальності та фрагменти біографії Оксани Забужко, потрапляючи в образне лексичне поле наративу її передмов, виконують сюжетотворчу функцію: матеріалізують переплетення часопросторових пластів, стають фактообразом, будівничим матеріалом оригінальної композиції, що скріплює всі її елементи, уособленням долі жінки в кризовому суспільстві, символом громадянської стійкості письменниці в питаннях престижу українського народу та його культури.

The ZipfExplorer is a tool for the interactive comparison and visualization of shared word type frequencies for two texts or corpora. The tool can be used to give insight into similarities and differences in textual and discourse content in terms of individual keywords or groups of keywords, and also calculates several measures of lexical diversity for the shared types of the selected texts. A selection of texts and corpora can be analyzed, and users can upload their own files for interactive comparison.

The hypodermic needle theory is a prominent theory in social media that affects the understanding, attitudes, and behavior of individuals. In this viewpoint, media is a powerful and dangerous source because the user or audience is vulnerable against the effect of a certain message. In this study, we assess the relationship between this theory in the field of information technology with two person-centered approaches of constructionist or discourse analytic approach and the critical theory approach. Moreover, the libraries’ role in vaccinating users against this theory by increasing their knowledge is shown

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To improve the quality of evidence synthesis projects, including systematic reviews and other comparative effectiveness reviews, at the University of Utah. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Systematic reviews and other types of evidence syntheses are best when collaborative teams with expertise in multiple disciplines participate, including content experts, librarians and information specialists, systematic review methodologists, and statisticians. The Center for Clinical & Translational Science (CCTS), due to its interdisciplinary nature, connectivity to clinical experts, and existing Cores of methodologists, presented an opportune location for a Systematic Review Core. We designed the Systematic Review Core to focus on 2 primary aspects of evidence synthesis support: overall systematic review methodology guidance and in-depth information retrieval planning and execution. After establishing a conceptual partnership, a new position, Evidence Retrieval and Synthesis Librarian, was created to build capacity within the Core. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Close connections with the CCTS’s Population Health Research Foundation have led to better interdisciplinary coverage of systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses produced by the University of Utah. We are able to partner with statisticians and clinical experts from formulating the question to completing the final manuscript. Hourly rates charged through a cost recovery model have enabled us to grow our staff able to work on the Core, as well as offset costs for major databases and resources these bibliographic data-heavy research methods require. After 1 year of existence, the Core is already at maximum capacity, with no sign of slowing. Projects have ranged from brief consultations to highly intense interactions for the duration of the research spectrum. We have also been added as key personnel to grants with systematic review components. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses are a labor-intense, interdisciplinary team effort that fit well within the scope of CTSA’s. They are a key component of the translation of science to practice, and can be used at all stages of the translational science spectrum. Quality of systematic reviews remains poor, particularly surrounding protocol development, sensitive search strategy design and reporting, and overall reporting. Librarians and information specialist involvement has been shown to positively correlate to the search strategy design and reporting aspects of systematic reviews, and librarians and information specialists increasingly act as systematic review methodologists. By including librarians and information specialists as part of the CTSA’s official Core structure, these systematic review methodologists are able to connect with statisticians, other methodologists, and clinical experts in a nexus of interdisciplinarity. At the University of Utah, the visibility and structure provided by the CCTS helps the Systematic Review Core with promotion, creating connections and opportunities for collaboration across the campus. This partnership has already led to increased uptake in services, and over time, we believe it will increase the quality of the science produced. CTSA’s have a natural partner with their health science library colleagues in translational science, as shown by this model.

Apresenta um estudo sobre a relação entre os e-books e o ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA) suportado por dispositivos eletrônicos conectados à Internet. O objetivo é evidenciar as possibilidades e as vantagens do uso de e-books. Trata-se do resultado decorrente de uma pesquisa exploratória e estudos bibliográficos, caracterizando no conjunto uma pesquisa descritiva de base qualitativa. Os e-books educativos podem ser paradidáticos, quando são usados na aprendizagem sem terem sido originalmente escritos para apoiar as aulas. O uso de e-book vinculado ao ambiente de aprendizagem suportado por dispositivo eletrônico e conectado à Internet revoluciona a ideia de espaço de atividades pedagógicas, incorporando ao processo recursos digitais como calculadora, mapas e localizadores guiados por satélite, além de todo o acervo de informações disponível na Internet. Entre outras soluções de comunicação e gestão, os espaços interativos de postagem das atividades permitem ainda o gerenciamento eficaz do percurso de aprendizagem dos estudantes.

INTRODUCTION Many institutions have open access (OA) policies that require faculty members to deposit their articles in an institutional repository (IR). A clear motivation is that a policy will result in increased self-archiving. The purpose of this longitudinal study is to compare the impact of a campus-wide OA policy and mediated solicitation of author manuscripts, using quantitative analysis to determine the rate of article deposits over time. METHODS Metadata for faculty articles published by authors at Oregon State University between 2011 and 2014 was produced by integrating citation metadata from a bibliographic database and the IR. Author names, affiliations, and other metadata were parsed and matched to compare rates of deposit for three separate time periods relating to different OA promotional strategies. RESULTS Direct solicitation of author manuscripts is more successful in facilitating OA than an OA policy—by number of articles deposited as well as the number of unique authors participating. Author affiliation and research areas also have an impact on faculty participation in OA. DISCUSSION Outreach to colleges and departments has had a positive effect on rate of deposit for those communities of scholars. Additionally, disciplinary practice may have more influence on its members’ participation in OA. CONCLUSION Until more federal policies require open access to articles funded by grants, or institutional policies are in place that require article deposit for promotion and tenure, policies will only be as effective as the library mediated processes that are put in place to identify and solicit articles from faculty.

Descrevem-se as estratégias que se vêm implementando para promover o desenvolvimento das competências em informação no marco do Plano Nacional de Leitura do Uruguai que leva adiante o Ministério de Educação e Cultura, como política pública de alcance nacional. As mesmas estão orientadas aos contextos sócio-econômicos vulneráveis e acompanham os processos de formação de promotores e animadores de leitura. Analisam-se e avaliam as experiências levadas cabo com populações objetivo que não pertencem ao âmbito educativo formal, em especial as orientadas a responsáveis de espaços de leitura tais como bibliotecas populares, comunitárias e públicas, entre outros. Se consideram as novas formas de leitura no meio digital no processo de aquisição e fortalecimento das competências em informação para garantir a equidade no acesso e democratização da informação e o processo de construção do conhecimento. Propõem-se os elementos essenciais para a elaboração do um modelo de alfabetização em informação para integrar ao Plano Nacional de Leitura que articule e coordene com outros âmbitos a nível nacional e contribua desde sua ótica à inclusão social dos indivíduos.
