1990s Zine Distribution and Understanding the Work of Zine Distros through Their Catalogs
During the 1990s zine distros—small scale, DIY distributors—emerged to become a vital part of zine communities by attempting to address the lack of established distribution channels, championing the medium, and fostering community. Before distros moved online in the 2000s, some produced paper catalogs to market and sell the zines they carried. These publications are complex documents that offer important information about zine distribution and culture unavailable elsewhere. This article considers the function of zine distros and what their catalogs can tell us. The first section provides an overview of 1990s zine distribution and examines how and why distros emerged when they did, arguing that distros offered something unique and important among distribution methods: distribution overseen by those embedded in zine communities that afforded creators the opportunity to reach a wider but controlled audience within a framework that valued support, participation, and community building. Yet a close examination of distros also reveals some of the problems inherent in these volunteer-run projects. The latter portion of this article analyzes catalogs produced by several distros. Catalogs, although short lived, document an important window of time: the emergence of distros, their optimism and efforts, and the role they played in zine distribution and communities.Publisher allows immediate open acces

Enhancing Improvisation Ability in Communication: Scaffolding Narrative Skills in Conversations
This research explores pedagogy to build Chinese learners’ communicative competence that supports narrative improvisation during an ongoing conversation. The case study employs language learners’ improvised narratives on “breaking rules in class” in oral interviews to examine students’ different narrative structures in communication. Meticulously designing contextualized performances in class is key to facilitate the developed memory of language learners’ past experiences. These personal memories will accumulate and become a ready source for students to draw from for engaging narrative in everyday conversations. The ability to improvise a conversation effectively goes deeper than the one-time action and reflects a longer scaffolding process. By associating students’ prior experiences as subject matter for improvising responses in a conversation, language learning is more effective than simply reciting a script from memory

Invitation to Metacognition and Acknowledge Emotions Encourages Help-Seeking
In our welcome materials, libraries regularly emphasize help they can provide and encourage students to use our services. Yet, studies show that this is not enough. While help-seeking is linked with academic performance, it is also complex and feels risky, especially for minoritized and first-generation students. This session shares results of a qualitative study which suggests that explicitly sharing feeling aspects of information challenges common to the transition to college followed by invitations to metacognitive thinking result in signs of openness to help-seeking. This presentation will include time for participants to discuss applications in their home contexts.No embarg

Social Media Usage in Ohio State ANR Extension Communication
Effective communication plays a pivotal role in organizational success, especially in distributing information and promoting services. This study analyzes the social media usage of Ohio State University's Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) Extension teams, to understand their communication strategies compared to national trends. Utilizing Berlo's Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver Model as a conceptual framework, the research team conducted a quantitative content analysis of social media platforms employed by 31 ANR teams. The findings reveal that while ANR Extension teams demonstrate a presence on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, their engagement rates and frequency of posting fall below national averages. Recommendations include enhancing ANR Extension's activity on platforms where they lack a consistent presence, like YouTube, while also exploring opportunities on emerging platforms like TikTok and LinkedIn. Aligning communication strategies with evolving national trends can enhance outreach efforts and improve engagement with stakeholders.A one-year embargo was granted for this item.Academic Major: Agricultural CommunicationAcademic Major: Public Management, Leadership and Polic
