ABSTRACT This poster presents public library innovations during the Covid‐19 pandemic. Many public libraries quickly adapted to the pandemic environment, changing and improving their operations and services to meet the new challenges and demands from their users. We collected two datasets to investigate these innovations: the first dataset comprised 751 tweets from the 12 largest public libraries in the U.S., and the second dataset included 72 articles from 3 major professional magazines. These datasets were analyzed to identify innovative services provided between 2020 and 2021. A rigorous content analysis involving multiple coders was conducted. The findings from both datasets highlight that public libraries quickly changed their service delivery modes and implemented diverse innovative services to bridge the digital divide, support health and technology literacy, and help with unemployment and career development. Libraries made efforts to reach out to their communities during lockdowns and also served as community education centers during difficult times, combating with misinformation and focusing on assisting marginalized populations. Additionally, the magazine articles introduced innovative services that pertained not only to user services but also to internal operations within public libraries.

ABSTRACT Threats against electronic medical and health records are on the rise. These threats include phishing attacks, malware and ransomware, encryption blind spots, cloud threats, and most important one is the internal threat caused by gaps in the level of awareness and knowledge of the employees and health practitioner of handling sensitive healthcare data. Cyber hygiene is a term used to describe both the technical and non‐technical threats. In the same way, personal hygiene practices are used to maintain one's own health and protect against diseases, cyber hygiene security practices are important in protecting and preserving sensitive electronic health information systems. In this paper, we report on the findings of a cyber hygiene study carried out in Kuwait with the objectives of assessing the level of awareness, knowledge and experience of physicians and healthcare professionals. The study identified seven different areas or barriers that impacted the cyber hygiene and the adoption of electronic health medical records in Kuwait. The seven areas include financial barriers, time, difficulty of using technology, lack of management support, negative attitude toward the use of electronic medical records, legal and ethical issues, as well as cultural barriers. Most of the physicians interviewed lacked the awareness and basic knowledge needed to practice cyber hygiene. Most physicians were not aware of regulation or standards pertaining to the use of electronic medical records.

ABSTRACT Research in information behavior has examined search difficulties and how people learn during searches but has not fully examined how searchers solve the difficulties on their own and gain new knowledge during this process. This study introduced the concept of insight learning during search to provide a new perspective for the studies in Search as Learning (SAL) and to optimize searchers' experiences in a more efficient, innovative, and joyful way to combine search and learning. As a preliminary study, we conducted self‐reported interviews with 30 participants to collect cases of insight learning during the search process. Based on thematic analysis of the data, we summarized the benefits of insight learning during search, described the process of how aha! occurred after impasse, and identified the antecedent, key, and consequence of insight during the search process. We aimed to help generate more insights by providing three dimensions of key factors to think about. A preliminary understanding of the insights formed in this study could contribute to further discussion about learning during the search and could help design new search tools that support effective learning.
信息行为的研究考察了搜索困难和人们在搜索过程中如何学习，但并没有充分考察搜索者在搜索过程中如何自行解决困难并获得新知识。本研究在搜索过程中引入了洞察学习的概念，为搜索即学习(search as learning, SAL)的研究提供了一个新的视角，并以一种更高效、创新和快乐的方式将搜索和学习结合起来，优化搜索者的体验。作为一项初步研究，我们对30名参与者进行了自我报告访谈，以收集在搜索过程中顿悟学习的案例。在对数据进行专题分析的基础上，我们总结了搜索过程中洞察学习的好处，描述了如何啊哈!发生在僵局之后，并在搜索过程中确定洞察力的前提，关键和结果。我们的目标是通过提供三个维度的关键因素来帮助产生更多的见解。对本研究中形成的见解的初步理解有助于进一步讨论搜索过程中的学习，并有助于设计支持有效学习的新搜索工具。

ABSTRACT Beyond the easy and equal access to massive online contents, will digital reading bring more social welfare values for disadvantaged groups? Take left‐behind children (LBC) in rural China as example, whose mental health issue has widely aroused public concern. Lacking of sufficient parental supervision and educational resources leads to insufficient development of psychological resilience and makes them vulnerable to mental health problems. As psychological resilience is a critical protective factor for maintaining mental health, in this paper, we wonder whether digital reading could perform as an alternative way with easy accessibility and numerous resources to supplement LBC's resilience development. We conducted a field questionnaire study on LBC (N = 217) and investigated the predictive effect of digital reading on psychological resilience. After controlling sociodemographic variables and common resilience protective factors, hierarchical regression results demonstrated that digital reading predicted an additional 4.3% of the variation in resilience above the control variables, indicating digital reading a positive promoter of LBC's psychological resilience. Moreover, by systematically exploring the fine‐grained digital reading variables, we also found intrinsic motivation to read and recreational digital reading (e.g., reading comics and communicating online) to be the two most stronger predictors of psychological resilience.

ABSTRACT This paper reports on an exploratory analysis of the social media policies of municipal governments in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. With a strong Public Records law and language clearly indicating that social media posts are government records, Massachusetts provides a framing for research into municipal policy on social media use, retention, preservation, and access. Of the 351 municipalities in the Commonwealth, just 87 have publicly accessible Social Media policies. These policies indicate that municipal governments take their responsibilities around social media records management seriously, they do not offer many specifics around how they will engage directly with posts from privately‐owned social media platforms. Implications of these findings suggest that the digital preservation community must continue to develop tools and methods to preserve social media records the support broader efforts around government transparency and accountability, as well as advocate for platforms to include features to support responsible public sector social media use.

ABSTRACT This study investigated how digital humans can help libraries promote reading. This study recruited 103 participants for a user experiment to explore their satisfaction with reading promotional videos using digital humans. At the same time, the effect of using digital humans in library reading promotion was analyzed from the perspective of whether users are willing to share and interact. Research has found that user satisfaction with them is not high due to digital human presence in their voice and intonation. But users are more interested in using anime digital human videos. This discovery can help libraries better carry out reading promotion and digital services.

ABSTRACT This research seeks to identify critical factors that have an impact on government knowledge base adoption, which is based on the local government of Yi Chang, a typical third‐tier city in China. Firstly, the knowledge base and its development in Chinese local governments are introduced. Secondly, to build the adoption model, factors from the UTAUT and TOE framework were integrated and trust to knowledge base and intention to knowledge reuse are introduced. Thirdly, a questionnaire is designed based on the model and distributed to civil servants from Yi Chang local government. Finally, the proposed model is validated, and the collected data is analyzed by PLS‐SEM. The results show the factors (effort expectancy, social influence, competitive pressure, trust to knowledge base, intention to knowledge reuse) have a positive impact on the adoption of knowledge base in Chinese local governments.

ABSTRACT Mapping between different representations of similar data is a common challenge in digital humanities (DH). In practical DH collections, the ‘person’ is an essential and centric unit and other parts could link to the ‘person’ to form the knowledge base. However, there is still no general and useful person‐oriented ontology in DH community. Many practical DH projects have developed their own ontologies by DH experts, but these ontologies are not interoperable. Therefore, it is important to explore existing biographical ontologies and develop a comprehensive person‐oriented ontology for DH. Using the metadata crosswalk method, we examined the ontologies provided for persons in three DH collections to analyze how they map onto standard ontologies such as FOAF (friend of a friend). This paper uncovers a significant and consistent gap between standard biographical ontologies and those used in practical DH collections, arriving at a set of heterogeneous problems, including different granularities of metadata. Consequently, we propose three key person‐oriented ontological types of elements, drawing on this metadata crosswalk: basic biographical elements, relational elements, and explanatory elements (such as career, connected with role and time). This metadata crosswalk provides a foundation for future matching between person‐oriented ontologies and facilitates semantic interoperability between DH collections.

ABSTRACT The ICT advancement and people's increasing cultural needs have stimulated China's online form of cultural activity organization. With highlights on such a new trend, this paper analyzes the impact of the newly‐invented online activity organization form on the participation ratio of parent–child cultural activities, which are vital in China's public cultural service system. Regression analysis indicates that the online activity organization form reduces the impact of limited available tickets and web browsing. It also relaxes the special time limit for public participation. Such an online form of activity organization deserves further attention considering its flexibility and convenience valued by the public.

ABSTRACT The Covid‐19 pandemic has led to the widespread use of videoconference (VC) technologies, particularly in education and this trend is projected to continue. Prolonged VC usage can lead to “videoconference fatigue” (VCF). While research on factors contributing to VCF has been conducted among university students, there is limited research on younger students (especially teenagers). To fill this gap, this study adopts an affordance‐based approach to identify VC affordances (resources and constraints) contributing to VCF in teenagers. Specifically, the objectives are to examine if (a) VC affordances (visibility, information, and availability), and (b) demographic profiles (age and gender) have effects on VCF among teenagers. A large‐scale survey was conducted and responses from 491 teenagers were analyzed using Hierarchical Regression Analysis. Results indicate that the three identified VC affordances contribute to VCF in teenagers. In addition, teenage girls and older teenagers are more prone to VCF.
