Tracing the evolution of iSchools through language
No full textThis talk examines the trajectory of information schools in North America, beginning from the 1980s, through the perspective of language. We apply discourse and semiotic analysis to information school promotion and branding strategies to investigate how the priorities, visions, and scope of iSchools have changed over time. Using the University of Toronto’s iSchool as a case study, we explore the evolution of its academic degrees from conception to present, observing the increasing multidisciplinary nature of the program
LIS and social work: Intersecting pasts, a shared future
No full textAcknowledging the intersecting pasts, recognizing the increasingly collaborative present, and contemplating opportunities ahead, this panel presents several projects and experiences from Canada and the U.S. by researchers from both disciplines of LIS and Social Work. The panel sets out to create a space for informed dialogue and knowledge sharing, moving us towards a collaborative interdisciplinary future that aligns SW and LIS scholarship, expertise, and practice. It will highlight challenges and opportunities associated with the synergy between SW and LIS in various types of libraries and in higher education. The panel will also be situated in the context of discussions on DEIA, social justice, pandemic effects, and health and well-being
The myth of half right reference :
No full textIt has been said and re-said that reference librarians only answer roughly 50% of reference questions correctly. But while this statistic is passed around as fact – where does it come from? In this paper, I track down the elusive citation using backwards chaining, citation analysis, and historical tracing. And then, I will re-examine the study that appeared to start it all through a modern lens, ultimately suggesting that we abandon the idea of half right reference once and for all

Reimagining information overload
No full textConsistent with the conference theme of “Understanding the Past and Building the Future,” the COVID-19 pandemic offers a lens for reimagining the discipline’s conceptual understanding of information overload. Usually framed as a psychological, cognitive, or emotional phenomenon, research emphasizes individual coping strategies, information seeking, decision-making, and productivity (Bawden and Robinson 2009, 183-5; Eppler and Mengis 2004, 330-4; Savolainen 2007, 614-5). However, greater attention could be given to the social and relational aspects of information overload. Emerging research is starting to address these effects specific to undergraduates’ experience of overload throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (Cao et al. 2020, 3; Chang et al. 2020, 2-3; Händel et al. 2020, 8; Lui et al. 2021, 2-5). Using results from a recent survey of undergraduates at Western University, the proposed lightning talk will present potential directions for exploring the social and relational elements of pandemic-related overload
