In this study, researchers employed concept code-switching to better understand linguistic divide that LGBTQ+ community face when formulating searches catalog. Design/methodology/approach Through set 15 interviews with adult users identifying as LGBTQ+, examined difference between...

Introduction. Despite scholarly work that looked into artificial intelligence (AI)’s impact on digital humanities (DH), there has been little comprehensive investigation how AI reflected and adopted in DH scholarship. This paper addresses this gap by asking: What patterns can be observed integration the discourse? Method. A bibliometric analysis was conducted 2,488 abstracts of articles published three influential journals: scholarship humanities, quarterly, journal cultural analytics....

Introduction. Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize way that scholars produce work, including through creation of literature reviews using free or low-cost systems. Despite importance review, AI-powered tools create are understudied at present. Method. To address this gap, four specialized were assessed. The complex area study chosen was e-reading in English and Spanish, a field where differences evident two languages. Systems prompted write review 500-1000 words,...

This article, written by researchers studying metadata and standards, represents a fresh perspective on the challenges of electronic health records (EHRs) serves as primer for big data new to health-related issues. Primarily, we argue importance systematic adoption standards in EHR way promoting research benefiting patients. EHRs have potential include vast amount longitudinal data, provides formal structures govern that data. In United States, medical (EMRs) are part larger EHR. is...

This article explores cognitively just, reliable subject access to indigenous knowledge through organization systems (KOSs). Cognitive justice requires that people be able materials in a way respects their worldview, yet dominant KOSs are based on positivist, Western approaches fundamentally incompatible. Alternatives universal include the creation of new and adaptation ones. Going forward, emerging web technologies presented as key moving away from universalist schemes toward specialized access.

Abstract Transparency in authorship is a continuing topic information science and scholarly communication. The process of determining order multi‐author publications, however, can be complicated. Authorship rubrics helping teams arrive at exist, but the extent to which certain roles are quantified (or not) rewarded with unclear. This study examines eight from five disciplines sciences social evaluates their alignment Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT) framework; also compared on how they...

Patron queries at a four-year comprehensive college’s online public access catalog were examined via transaction logs from March 2007. Three representative days isolated for more detailed examination of search characteristics. The results show that library users employed an average one to three terms in search, did not use Boolean operators, and made limits one-tenth the time. Failed remained problematic, as full one-third searches resulted zero hits. Implications recommendations...

ABSTRACT Recently, the scholarly community has been eagerly exploring how AI‐produced content should be integrated into both academic writing and publishing. This paper investigates prevailing responses to introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 interest that afforded it by academy publishing industry. A review published literature on aspects authorship was carried out, finding government industry have unequivocally asserted large language models (LLMs) like do not possess traits a person...

Purpose – Readability applications are the software products designed to make online text more readable. Using information foraging theory as a framework, purpose of this paper is study extent, if at all, using readability application improves skimming comprehension in low-clutter environment. It also seeks identify perceived benefits or effects for comprehension. Design/methodology/approach Ten participants skimmed two articles each, one document presentation environment, other an...

Bibliographic records can include information from controlled vocabularies to capture identities about individuals, especially authors or intended audiences; personal name authority also contain identity. Employing a systematic analysis of the overlap Homosaurus, Library Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), and Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT), this article explores extent which LGBTQ+ are represented in three vocabularies. Despite LCSH's long, iterative history development faceted,...

Since the 1920s, Latin American immigrants to United States have frequently settled in established communities border states and large urban areas. 1990s, however, immigrants, documented undocumented, been settling rural Midwest. We begin this article by considering Trump-era rhetoric actions affecting historical context for that immigration. Next, we present information sources locations (i.e., grounds) used midwestern interviewed. Finally, discuss roles libraries taken across nation...

Libraries are looking for a better way to encode and share their data. Christensen's disruptive technologies theory provides framework evaluating linked data thinking about future uses of library technology. Because its lack use technical weaknesses, is not yet poised emerge as innovation. It has the potential, however, become should be explored first in spin-offs that supplement or provide access other electronic content. Library systems under development focus on remaining nimble open...

Digital repositories require good metadata, created according to community-based principles that include provisions for interoperability. When metadata is of high quality, digital objects become sharable and can be harvested reused outside the local system. A sample U.S.-based repository administrators from OpenDOAR initiative were surveyed understand aspects quality creation their how could improve. Most respondents (65%) thought was average quality; none or poor quality. The discussion...

This conceptual article considers data used in the humanities and human sciences, which are fundamentally different from other disciplines, such as sciences or medicine. Data are, however, equally important to study understand. Humanists others studying artifacts often face dual challenge of both using primary source records (or evidentiary) creating data—non-computational, nonexperimental data, those found manuscripts, websites, social media. process generates a complex research ecosystem...

ABSTRACT Social tagging increasingly attracts the attention of information scientists. Much research has focused on large-scale assessment tag sets in systems. The reasons for remain uncertain. To date, library and science (LIS) field not explicitly explored differences between author-supplied metadata (endo-tagging) user-supplied (exo-tagging). This article reviews a number studies social recommends further user-centered into motivation; proposed could be carried out conjunction with...

In spring 2014, authors from the University of Missouri conducted a nation-wide survey on metadata practices among United States-based OpenDOAR repositories. Examining repository systems and current in these repositories, researchers collected analyzed responses 23 Results this include information about creators metadata, best resources, controlled vocabularies. Findings will inform libraries state choices open repositories States, especially as they pertain to overarching questions interoperability.

Public librarians across the United States found themselves in different political environments that challenged their ability to serve communities, provide information was needed, and fight disinformation regarding pandemic.
