I present findings from an empirical study analyzing the intertwining of information and family in the work of “keeping track” in the family context. Findings highlight three interrelated and overlapping ways that the information practices family members engage in both “do” family and define family membership. First, family members may be the object of information practices: keeping track of family. Second, family members might be the audience for information practices: keeping track for family. Finally, family members may engage in collaborative family-related information practices: keeping track with family. Information practices such as keeping track enact family practices and reveal them, both to family members and to outsiders. Looking at the intersection of information and family practices helps information studies scholars to reflect on family life as a context within which information practices take place and prompts us to explore questions to better understand the situatedness of information practices within particular contexts. For information professionals, this work provides insight into the complexity of people’s everyday life information practices.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44400123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Library and information science researchers have spent little time exploring the phenomenon of family information practices. This context provides an opportunity to further theorize how social dynamics impact information practices. Seven parents of six trans or non-binary young people under twenty-five years old participated in semistructured interviews. Questions probed parents’ information work around gender identity, their emotions, and parent-child information exchanges. Results indicate that parents’ information needs are shaped by emotion and awareness of transphobia and the abuse often directed at trans and non-binary youth. A commitment to be supportive motivates parents’ attributions of authority. Parents rely on various information sources but prize the experiential knowledge of other trans people and their supporters particularly. These encounters elicit parents’ work toward a new understanding of gender broadly and their child’s gender specifically. Parents take on information proxy and mediary roles and collaborate with their trans or non-binary children to gather and manage information. Parents’ interactions with information in this context reflect sociocultural attitudes and ideas of power and authority, serve cognitive and affective needs, are situated in time and place, and are dependent on enacted, embodied realities.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41451916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I designed this research to explore the ways Afro Latinx readers in the Velez family found relevance in a text written by a dark-skinned Latinx author based on their own individualized racial, ethnic, gender, and cultural identities; in what ways their individual textual interpretations compared to those of other members of the same family; and how reading a text written by and about someone of similar racial/ethnic identity affected each reader’s own identity formation. The counter-stories provided by my family and the autoethnographic information about myself were used to interrupt the dominant narrative of a lack of early literacy among Hispanic families and add diverse perspectives to existing understandings of reader response theory. While it is important to foreground issues of race and racism in reader response analysis, I suggest an intersectional approach that incorporates multiple identities. Results suggest that while there were individual differences in how readers interpreted the text, most family members felt cultural validation after reading the text and experienced pride in the family tradition of the book being passed from father to child.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47723306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores the decision-making practices of Chinese adults related to Bao Xi Bu Bao You in their sharing of current emotion-associated personal events with their parents. Based on semistructured interviews with thirty-two participants, the study illuminates the complexities of child-to-parent Bao Xi Bu Bao You activities by illustrating how they are shaped by decision-making processes that juggle several elements: expectations of reaction alignment/misalignment, utility, care, risk of boundary turbulence, and degree of seriousness/significance. Because the emotional quality of Xi (positive events) and You (sad/concerning events) are different, the elements are framed and approached in slightly different ways for decisions to share Xi and to withhold You, with some elements being particularly salient in certain contexts. Children balance self-oriented and parent-oriented considerations in decision making and actively adjust their personal events into “better-shared” or “better-avoided” Xi and You across time. Care, modesty, and Taoist dialectical passive-active transformations emerged as notable Chinese cultural elements that inform Bao Xi Bu Bao You and shed light on the rich cultural meanings attached to such practices.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66276898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite their acceptance in the professional literature, cost analyses may be deeply flawed. This article begins with a broad survey of the professional and scholarly literature focusing on cost analysis and the elements composing it. The nature of cost analysis and the goals of costing practices, including the potential to calculate a return on investment (ROI), are presented. Next, through an analysis of the recent (2000–2019) scholarly literature on costing cataloging and metadata creation in academic libraries, we present peer-reviewed literature relating to costs; we demonstrate that the scholarly literature diverges from a focus on cost analysis to focus instead on improvements to individual aspects of cataloging and metadata creation work. In the final section, we propose approaching the catalog as a service that can be assessed in terms of opportunity costs for failed interactions. Overall findings suggest that focusing on user needs can be a productive alternative approach to considering the value and worth of academic library catalog and metadata creation.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47599377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
