An online survey of library workers (<em>n</em> = 332) revealed overall feedback orientation is in line with other professions. Findings show positive dispositional affect, affective-based interpersonal trust in the direct supervisor relationship, and employee's perception of organizational fairness, are all predictors of feedback orientation in library workers. This study generates awareness of feedback orientation in libraries and has implications for practice, especially for library supervisors who can tailor their feedback approaches to meet the needs of individual employees.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47618,"journal":{"name":"Library & Information Science Research","volume":"46 3","pages":"Article 101317"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740818824000380/pdfft?md5=b59f5f61aacaff1e19e1ac52a8df3192&pid=1-s2.0-S0740818824000380-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141961765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These cultural information needs are affected by several factors. Qualitative data from a survey of 168 Chinese migrants, and qualitative data from 20 semi-structured interviews, yielded insights into the nature of these factors and of their influence on the migrants' acculturation. Findings indicate that psycho-cultural factors have the most influence on cultural information needs, followed by human capital factors, social interaction factors, and living situation factors. These findings suggest that the cultural information needs of migrant workers are linked to the workers' capability for cultural integration. Further discussion explores the role of cultural information in helping to enhance migrant workers' fluid identity and emotional resilience, as well as creating harmonious intergroup relationships, achieving social integration, and facilitating intercultural interactions. A theoretical and conceptual framework is proposed to help bridge the gap between studies of migrant information needs and of acculturation theory, and to increase understanding of the underlying links between information needs and cultural issues relating to migration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47618,"journal":{"name":"Library & Information Science Research","volume":"46 3","pages":"Article 101316"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141961766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, LIS graduate students benefit from increased training opportunities that help them gain crisis communication skills that will help them confidently and effectively interact with patrons in crisis. There is a need to provide training that is readily available, repeatable, and engaging for students. One approach that may prove valuable is the implementation of virtual reality (VR) training, which presents a low-stakes, innovative approach to support skill development in areas like empathy and crisis communication. To date, no virtual reality training for tailored crisis communication skills development in libraries exists. Examining the effectiveness of VR training for crisis communication skills among LIS graduate students included 1) creating a virtual environment and training scenario based on in-person trainings conducted by the researchers, and 2) administering pre and post tests on confidence, empathy, and de-escalation skills and then observing participant behavior in the virtual environment. Findings indicate that the VR training is overall effective and showed self-reports of increased empathy and skills for LIS graduate students. Recommendations for further study involve 1) implementing crisis communication training for students who will work in libraries (particularly public libraries); 2) extending the training contexts presented here to include other areas for skill development; and 3) more systematic consideration and conversation around the use of VR training in LIS education.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47618,"journal":{"name":"Library & Information Science Research","volume":"46 3","pages":"Article 101311"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141638158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
