Yet, when it comes to artists, the focus of such research has consistently veered away from the topic. This article explores the information and resource needs of textile artists and the barriers that prevent them from meeting those needs. A semi-structured interview of an experienced textile artist was conducted and directed as well as conventional content analysis was used to examine the data. The data revealed six sources textiles artists utilize for locating resources and eight information barriers that influence their ability to meet their information needs. The significance of these findings is then discussed and potential solutions are presented for information professionals – particularly public librarians – to implement.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126857651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The answer lies in the context and history of how computer media came to be. In this essay I explore the early history of software distribution, where many different proposals fought to succeed. I provide an overview of the software industry’s early embrace of copy-protected floppy disks as a distribution medium, and how they harmed the notion of software as a borrowable medium. Lastly, I cover how CD-ROM materials were treated as books by publishers and libraries, yet failed to realize this premise with long-term success. I argue that a combination of industry actions and technological constraints over four decades caused computer software to fail to succeed as a tangible medium that can be borrowed like a book, lent, or resold at will.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125619718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The international student body has evolving needs that must be adequately addressed by the library and institution if growing numbers are to continue being supported. Plagiarism, language barriers, and an unawareness of library services are well-known barriers to success, while more current issues such as changing technologies are equally problematic. Through such efforts as hiring an international student librarian, academic libraries may discover the specific issues facing their institution’s international students and begin the process of addressing them in a tailored manner. Data collection would be a priority for better understanding the international students, as would partnering with professors and student organizations to market library services and promote information literacy in a Canadian context. The international student librarian may also provide continued outreach to this demographic that is inclusive, proactive, and collaborative, which would in turn create an atmosphere that fosters international student success and is able to support rising numbers.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"29 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123498431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chatman, the theory of a small world, which refers to community of like-minded individuals who share coownership of social reality, tends to be viewed in a negative light despite its possible benefits. This article examines the potential for the development of small worlds within the context of professional degrees. This potential is explored primarily through the author’s personal experiences obtaining two professional degrees: a Bachelor of Education at Tyndale University College & Seminary and a Master of Library and Information Science at the University of Western Ontario. Each of the four core concepts of Chatman’s small world theory – worldview, social norms, social types, and information behaviour – is investigated in detail through the lens of the author’s experiences. The possible advantages and disadvantages for students should a small world develop are then discussed.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121697465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many works draw on the rich historical and cultural significance of narratives, oral history and storytelling in Indigenous communities. Their rise in prominence presents new opportunities for libraries to work with Indigenous authors and groups to share the importance of Indigenous histories and works in and through library spaces, collections and programming. However, in the context of popular culture including Indigenous YA literature, it is important to consider the identity and representation of Indigenous people, cultures and histories. The following annotated bibliography has been developed to guide libraries on the appropriate professional and cultural competencies to compliment this rising body of work and foster respect and recognition of Indigenous communities and works.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127931349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the link between the disciplines of information science and archaeology within the context of the archaeological curation crisis, which has been exacerbated by the lack of attention to the curation of archaeological collections. While the issue and solutions have been identified in the scholarly literature, few sources discuss collaboration between archaeologists and information professionals as a potential solution. This paper on conceptualizes archaeological artifacts as archival records and analyzes the issue through boundary object theory and the records continuum model. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the complementary nature of the two disciplines and subsequently highlight the importance of collaboration between archaeologists and information professionals, as both discipline have the potential to identify areas of need and establish best practices to resolve this curation crisis.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130713502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What to do beforehand: Confirm with the archivist that you plan to come at a certain time. You can do this by email. Also, identify what collections you plan to see. When possible, browse the available online inventories prior to arriving and bring a list of collections to see (note box & series number and folder title). What to bring: A laptop (for note-taking) and a pencil (no pens allowed). You can use a digital camera to capture images of material you will use for your research, which is a good alternative to photocopying (more on this below). Don’t bring food. What to do first: Ask for help! Tell the archivists exactly what you are looking for – even if you don’t know what the names of the sources might be. More below. How to get copies of materials: Try to think ahead on duplication...figure out what you’ll want to reference at home, and request a copy of this material as you encounter it. Make sure to fill out appropriate form. Archives staff will photocopy or make scans for you, however, sometimes this may take a few days to have ready, so plan ahead. How long it will take: Exploring in an archive can take longer than you might think especially at first – so give yourself 30 or 45 minutes at a minimum each time. Plan to return to the archive more than once, and to document each visit with careful notes about what you viewed.","PeriodicalId":276592,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Library & Information Perspectives","volume":"33 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134573797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
