Abstract

EDITOR'S SUMMARY

Special Interest Group/Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG/USE) convened at the 2015 ASIS&T Annual Meeting to explore the links between theory and practice in information behavior. In his keynote address, Ross Todd urged the audience to go beyond models and aim for synthesis and meta-analysis, focusing on the user. Lightning talks addressed a social cognitive theory analysis of a program for disadvantaged youth; adults with limited literacy and health information; mobile information workers; forming a community of practice; and information sharing practices among online communities. A key takeaway was that research should actively involve communities and their members rather than simply being about them. Safiya Noble's keynote highlighted hidden biases in automated search engine returns with encouragement to design algorithms enabling users to opt in or out of filtered returns. Attendees explored the topics raised further during a mixer chat and table talks. The symposium ended with presentations for the best paper, poster and research proposal and awards for student and international conference travel.

SIG/USE研究专题讨论会:使研究重要:连接理论与实践
特殊兴趣小组/信息需求、寻求和使用(SIG/ Use)在2015年ASIS&T年会上召开,探讨信息行为理论与实践之间的联系。在他的主题演讲中,Ross Todd敦促观众超越模型,以综合和元分析为目标,关注用户。闪电会谈涉及弱势青年项目的社会认知理论分析;识字率和健康信息有限的成年人;移动信息工作者;形成实践共同体;以及网络社区之间的信息共享实践。一个关键的收获是,研究应该积极地让社区及其成员参与进来,而不仅仅是关于他们。萨菲亚·诺布尔的主题演讲强调了自动搜索引擎搜索结果中隐藏的偏见,并鼓励设计算法,让用户可以选择是否过滤搜索结果。与会者在酒会和座谈中进一步探讨了提出的话题。研讨会以最佳论文、海报和研究计划以及学生和国际会议旅行奖的颁奖结束。
