This article presents a reconciliation of intellectual freedom and social responsibility in library and information science (LIS). The conflict between traditional intellectual freedom and social advocacy, integral to understanding a range of issues in LIS ethics, juxtaposes a laissez-faire freedom with social intervention. This study, by contrast, engages with conceptions of freedom within philosophical and LIS literatures, presenting a descriptive conceptualisation of both values through the common rubric of freedom. This method, influenced by the later philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, echoes Solove’s conceptualisation of privacy and provides a conceptual clarity lacking in existing LIS literature. This clarity, it is argued, suggests a path of reconciliation for both values. The argument unfolds in three stages. First, the prominent conception of intellectual freedom within LIS represents an ‘anti-censorship’ conception. This conception, restricted to passive physical accessibility, conflicts with literature promoting social responsibility. Second, an analysis of freedom within philosophical literature picks out three conceptions: negative, positive and republican. These conceptions, it is argued, translate to LIS literature and represent a full spectrum of viewpoints within the ‘intellectual freedom vs social responsibility’ debate. Five conceptions in LIS are identified: ‘negative conservative’, ‘negative progressive’, ‘content neutral’, ‘republican’ and ‘freedom as moral action’. The conflict within the ‘intellectual freedom vs social responsibility’ debate, therefore, represents conflict between conceptions of freedom. Third, this insight paves the way for a reconciliation that tempers and ameliorates the tension between both values. Dimova-Cookson’s ‘producer-recipient’ model suggests how a negative intellectual freedom and a positive social responsibility may sit together in a symbiotic relationship. This understanding, illustrated by practical case studies, provides a fresh perspective on the complex interaction of both values within the LIS profession.
本文提出了图书馆情报学中知识自由与社会责任的调和。传统的知识自由与社会倡导之间的冲突,是理解美国伦理中一系列问题不可或缺的一部分,它将自由放任与社会干预并列在一起。相比之下,本研究涉及哲学和法学文献中的自由概念,通过自由的共同标题对这两种价值观进行描述性概念化。这种方法受到路德维希·维特根斯坦(Ludwig Wittgenstein)后期哲学的影响,与索洛夫对隐私的概念化相呼应,并提供了现有美国文献所缺乏的概念清晰度。有人认为,这种明确性为两种价值观提供了一条和解之路。这一论点分三个阶段展开。首先,美国国内突出的知识自由概念代表了一种“反审查”概念。这种观念局限于被动的物质可及性,与文学提倡的社会责任相冲突。其次,通过对哲学文献中自由概念的分析,提出了消极自由、积极自由和共和自由三个概念。有人认为,这些概念被翻译成美国文学,并代表了“知识自由与社会责任”辩论中的各种观点。美国有五个概念:“消极保守”、“消极进步”、“内容中立”、“共和主义”和“作为道德行为的自由”。因此,“知识自由与社会责任”辩论中的冲突代表了自由概念之间的冲突。第三,这种洞见为调和和改善两种价值观之间的紧张关系铺平了道路。Dimova-Cookson的“生产者-接受者”模型表明,消极的知识自由和积极的社会责任如何在共生关系中共存。这种理解,通过实际案例研究来说明,为LIS专业中两种价值观的复杂相互作用提供了一个新的视角。

This systematic review aims to collect and review, systematically the literature on human libraries to identify the purpose of managing human libraries, their benefits, and barriers. Another purpose of the study was to assess the quality level of studies conducted on human libraries. The study collected and screened the literature on the topic in the light of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. The authors identified 1764 studies by searching five reputed databases and found 24 studies eligible for this review. The research employed Boynton and Greenhalgh (2004) guidelines to assess the quality of the reviewed literature. The study found that the major objective of human libraries is to share knowledge, arrange to get together opportunities, promote understanding and respect different cultures. Moreover, human libraries aim to combat prejudice and bridge differences through social dialog. The study also shares the barriers and benefits of managing human libraries. This is the first review in terms of its nature that collected and reviewed the literature on human libraries systematically. The review may facilitate library professionals to understand and implement the concept in libraries that can prove a game-changer for libraries when their (libraries) existence is being questioned in this digital era.
本系统综述旨在收集和系统地回顾有关人类图书馆的文献,以确定管理人类图书馆的目的、好处和障碍。该研究的另一个目的是评估人类图书馆研究的质量水平。该研究根据系统评价首选报告项目和荟萃分析指南收集并筛选了有关该主题的文献。作者通过搜索五个知名数据库确定了1764项研究,并发现24项研究符合本综述的条件。该研究采用了Boynton和Greenhalgh(2004)的指南来评估审查文献的质量。研究发现,人类图书馆的主要目标是分享知识,安排聚在一起的机会,促进对不同文化的理解和尊重。此外,人类图书馆旨在通过社会对话消除偏见和弥合分歧。这项研究还分享了管理人类图书馆的障碍和好处。这是第一次系统地收集和回顾关于人类图书馆的文献。该审查可能有助于图书馆专业人员理解并在图书馆中实施这一概念,当图书馆在这个数字时代的存在受到质疑时,这一概念可能会改变图书馆的游戏规则。

This study has been conducted to better and more deeply understand search stopping behavior. The objective of this study was to identify the factors affecting search stopping behavior and notice the knowledge gaps in this field. This study was conducted as a systematic review. By reviewing the databases and studying the retrieved articles with relevant keywords, 1356 articles were identified and after refinement, 34 articles were reviewed without time limit. By studying selected articles in the field of search stopping behavior and using content analysis approach, the most important factors affecting search stopping behavior were analyzed. Factors affecting stopping behavior were classified into two different cognitive and environmental categories. The cognitive factors include information sufficiency and individual characteristics; and the environmental factors include search task, information retrieval system and time as the most important factors affecting search stopping behavior. One of the important research gaps in this field is the lack of a comprehensive model of factors affecting search stopping behavior. This is one of the studies to systematically review and examine the factors affecting information search stopping behavior and provides a model.

Personal digital archiving (PDA) is a type of personal information behaviour related to personal memory and identity construction. The aim of this study is to discover and define individual’s perceived values in relation to personal digital archives, and to explore their relationship between PDA behaviours. Based on the grounded theory, drawing on in-depth interviews with 14 Chinese college students, both the perceived values in relation to personal digital archives and the PDA behaviours were coded through open, axial, and selective coding processes. This study found the perceived values in relation to personal digital archives mainly include subject value, object value, intermediary value, value to other subjects and social value, PDA behaviours mainly include accumulation behaviour, use behaviour, appraisal behaviour and disposal behaviour. Moreover, the value cognition of personal digital archives is the intermediary link between perceived values and PDA behaviours and is the core connecting the two. Value cognition can be divided into judgement on whether personal digital archives are valuable, subdivision of value types of personal digital archives, value evaluation of personal digital archives, and cognition of enhancing or weakening the value of personal digital archives. The study comprehensively analysed the perceived values, value cognition that drive PDA behaviours, built the relationship between perceived values, value cognition and PDA behaviours, and answered the question of why individuals want to archive from cognitive and behavioural perspectives. The findings of the study can help librarians to conduct more targetted PDA education and improve the public’s awareness and literacy in PDA.
个人数字档案(PDA)是一种与个人记忆和身份建构有关的个人信息行为。本研究的目的是发现和定义个人对个人数字档案的感知价值,并探索它们与PDA行为之间的关系。基于扎根理论,通过对14名中国大学生的深入访谈,通过开放、轴向和选择性的编码过程,对个人数字档案的感知价值和PDA行为进行了编码。研究发现,个人数字档案的感知价值主要包括主体价值、客体价值、中介价值、对其他主体的价值和社会价值,PDA行为主要包括积累行为、使用行为、评价行为和处置行为。此外,个人数字档案的价值认知是感知价值与PDA行为之间的中介纽带,是连接两者的核心。价值认知可分为对个人数字档案是否有价值的判断、个人数字档案价值类型的细分、个人数字文件的价值评价以及对提升或削弱个人数字档案的价值的认知。该研究全面分析了驱动PDA行为的感知价值观、价值认知,建立了感知价值观和价值认知与PDA行为之间的关系,并从认知和行为角度回答了个人为什么想要存档的问题。研究结果有助于图书馆员进行更有针对性的掌上电脑教育,提高公众对掌上电脑的认识和识字率。

Library and information science and the positivist paradigm: Some critical reflections 图书情报学与实证主义范式:几点批判性思考

The employment of the positivist paradigm in Library and Information Science (LIS) research is commonplace, by at least those who have cared to declare their research paradigms, especially at masters and doctoral levels of their studies. Inspired by such widespread use of positivism in LIS, this paper interrogates the applicability and appropriateness of this paradigm as a philosophical bearing for LIS researchers. Although the thrust of the paper is to critique the applicability of positivism to LIS research, it is itself not a lampoon on the scientific nature of LIS, neither is it in the interest of the paper to challenge any researchers who have employed positivism in the conduct of their research in the area of LIS. Instead, it is a critical reflection on some of the glaring challenges of employing positivism in LIS research, and warns against falling into the trap of what the author calls “positivist paradigmatic sophistry.” The paper is not prescriptive or conclusive, but opens new opportunities for critically reflecting on the utility of positivism in LIS research, and a more careful use of this paradigm by LIS scholars and researchers. The discussion unfolds by first putting LIS into perspective by way of briefly tracing the development of the sciences through the lens of Comte. It proceeds by way of explaining the nature of LIS in order to put it into perspective and goes on to unpack the concept of a paradigm before zeroing in on positivism as a paradigm of research. The paper finally presents some challenges that are associated with the application of positivism to LIS research. It argues that positivism is largely incompatible with LIS as a social science and concludes by imploring LIS researchers to engage in a deliberative and progressive discourse on whether positivism is appropriate for LIS research.
实证主义范式在图书馆和信息科学(LIS)研究中的应用是司空见惯的,至少对于那些愿意宣布自己的研究范式的人来说,尤其是在硕士和博士研究阶段。受实证主义在LIS中广泛应用的启发,本文质疑这种范式作为LIS研究者的哲学意义的适用性和适当性。尽管本文的主旨是批判实证主义在LIS研究中的适用性,但它本身并不是对LIS科学性质的讽刺,挑战任何在LIS领域使用实证主义进行研究的研究人员也不符合论文的利益。相反,它是对在LIS研究中使用实证主义的一些突出挑战的批判性反思,并警告不要落入作者所说的“实证主义范式诡辩”的陷阱。这篇论文不是规定性的或结论性的,但为批判性反思实证主义在LIS研究中的效用开辟了新的机会,以及LIS学者和研究人员对这一范式的更谨慎使用。讨论首先通过Comte的镜头简要追踪科学的发展,将LIS放在一个正确的角度来展开。它通过解释LIS的性质来看待它,并在将实证主义作为一种研究范式之前,对范式的概念进行了解读。最后,本文提出了实证主义在LIS研究中的应用所面临的一些挑战。它认为实证主义在很大程度上与LIS作为一门社会科学是不相容的,并恳求LIS研究人员就实证主义是否适合LIS研究进行深思熟虑和进步的讨论。

The current study aims to examine doctoral research works produced by Pakistani universities in the field of library and information science (LIS). The study provides an understanding of the perspective of PhD level research in Pakistan and aims to determine developmental patterns, popular focused areas, current trends, and the most productive universities. The content analysis method was used to conduct this study. A self-structured questionnaire was used for the collection of data. A total of five universities were selected for the collection of softcopies of theses for this study. The information was gathered from department heads at five LIS schools in Pakistan. MS-Excel was used to analyze and present the data in the form of tables and charts to achieve the study’s objectives. The findings show that Pakistani LIS schools have produced a total of 62 PhD theses from 1981 to 2021. Steady development has been observed until 2010. However, the growth of LIS research has increased significantly during the last decade. The study has explored LIS research trends at the doctoral level and presents an agenda for future research to inspire potential LIS scholars. The findings are useful to improve research quality at the doctoral level for LIS scholars and faculty members of LIS schools in Pakistan and other developing countries.

Over the last 40 years, New Zealand libraries and information management institutions have been undergoing cultural change in an attempt to improve the services and resources made available to Māori clients. Previous studies have demonstrated that Māori have not been regular users of these institutions, so a critical part of the transformation process has focused on the promotion of the benefits that library and information institutions can provide. This has led to institutions reviewing how they can incorporate distinctively Māori elements within their existing structures. A critical part of this innovation has been the introduction of te reo Māori into areas such as signage, intellectual access, website and online catalogue designs and client services. This article reports on research that has focused on how Māori language into services, and the challenges and opportunities that its usage has for Māori clients and the libraries and information management institutions in New Zealand.
在过去40年里,新西兰图书馆和信息管理机构经历了文化变革,试图改善向Māori用户提供的服务和资源。以前的研究表明,Māori并不是这些机构的经常用户,因此转型过程的一个关键部分集中在促进图书馆和信息机构可以提供的好处上。这导致各机构审查如何在其现有结构中独特地纳入Māori要素。这一创新的一个关键部分是将reo Māori引入标牌、知识访问、网站和在线目录设计以及客户服务等领域。本文报告了一项研究,主要关注Māori语言如何进入服务,以及它的使用对Māori客户和新西兰的图书馆和信息管理机构所带来的挑战和机遇。

Growing dementia-friendly library services are contributing to community-based dementia care. Emerging community programs in libraries and museums provide notable opportunities for promoting engagement and inclusivity, but these programs have yet to receive in-depth assessments and analyses to guide future research and practice. This paper presents a case study examining a social and storytelling program for people with dementia run by a Canadian public library. It investigates two research questions: How can public library programs contribute to community-based dementia care? And what are public libraries' strengths and challenges in running programs for people with dementia? The study involves participant observations of the program and semi-structured interviews with people with dementia, caregivers, and program facilitators (librarians and Alzheimer Society coordinators). Through thematic analysis of fieldnotes and transcripts, the study reveals how this inclusive platform supports engagement, fosters relationships, helps caregivers, and reaches broader communities. This research further uncovers the librarians' diversified roles as demonstrated through their collaboration with professionals, preparation and research, and facilitation of the sessions. This paper advances librarianship research on enriching community-based dementia care, including furthering inclusivity and engagement and extending accessible library services. By analyzing library programming for the dementia community and assessing its strengths and challenges, the paper highlights librarians' awareness of the community's evolving needs and their collaboration with other professionals. It offers practical insights on useful resources and emerging best practices that will hopefully inspire other initiatives in which information professionals can help improve the well-being of vulnerable populations.

不断发展的痴呆症友好型图书馆服务正在为基于社区的痴呆症护理做出贡献。图书馆和博物馆的新兴社区项目为促进参与性和包容性提供了显著的机会,但这些项目尚未得到深入的评估和分析来指导未来的研究和实践。本文介绍了一项案例研究,考察了加拿大一家公共图书馆为痴呆症患者开展的社交和讲故事计划。它探讨了两个研究问题:公共图书馆项目如何为社区痴呆症护理做出贡献?公共图书馆在为痴呆症患者开展项目时有哪些优势和挑战?研究包括对项目的参与观察,以及对痴呆症患者、护理人员和项目推动者(图书馆员和阿尔茨海默氏症协会协调员)的半结构化访谈。通过对现场笔记和记录誊本进行主题分析,研究揭示了这一包容性平台如何支持参与、促进关系、帮助护理人员并覆盖更广泛的社区。这项研究进一步揭示了图书馆员在与专业人士合作、准备和研究以及主持会议过程中所扮演的多样化角色。本文推进了图书馆学在丰富社区老年痴呆症护理方面的研究,包括进一步提高包容性和参与度,以及扩展无障碍图书馆服务。通过分析针对痴呆症社区的图书馆计划并评估其优势和挑战,本文强调了图书馆员对社区不断变化的需求的认识以及他们与其他专业人员的合作。本文就有用的资源和新兴的最佳实践提出了实用的见解,希望能对信息专业人员帮助改善弱势群体福祉的其他举措有所启发。
