Abstract:This article investigates the tracing and documentation of genealogies among the Yoruba of Southwest Nigeria using the semiological mechanism of tribal-facial marks. The study lends itself to qualitative research methods and called for the involvement of memory institutions (libraries, archives, and museums). A purposive sampling method, including a combination of focus group interviews and semistructured individual interviews, was deployed in the selection of four categories of participants. Data obtained were transcribed and analyzed using the recursive abstraction technique. The study established the indigenous practice of using indelible facial marks as a form of documentation and tracing of lineages and subethnic groups among the Yoruba. Although they are an endangered species, this study highlights some traditional methods of documentation and justifies a change in the narrative by advocating for an intensification of formalized documentation of the art vis-à-vis relevance to lineage and subethnic genealogies and situating the role of memory institutions in the project. Recommendations include intensive information harvesting and documentation enabled by the development of an active information policy that will take into cognizance various genres of indigenous knowledge systems, including tribal-facial marking systems, as a tool of genealogy.

Abstract:Collective intelligence occurs when a group of users pool the result of their research and their shared information in a wiki-like online space. In this case, a LibGuide with many users provides information for a tree tour on a community college campus where students and community members in a group contribute both informational facts and creative writing, poetry, and cultural data about the trees and plants. The trees represent one collection, while the online space has become another bottom-up-led collection created collaboratively with the emphasis on promoting sustainability in the form of economics, environment, and equity. Tree Campus is a project started at Shoreline Community College to encourage the community to engage with sustainability themes from an arts, humanities, and scientific perspective by taking tours on campus to view the plants and trees. Many of the flora are native to the Seattle area and meaningful to Native American cultures, which is communicated through the online LibGuides created and maintained by students in the Shoreline Community College Economics Research Group (SCCERG) and supported by the Sustainable Commuter Options Fee (SCOF) committee.

Abstract:While formal documentation processes have long been explored in information science, less about more ephemeral documentary practices has been explored. Urban exploration, a hobby in which urbexers visit and photograph abandoned and decaying sites, offers one example of informal and fleeting documentary practice. The visual outputs of urban exploration are often found via websites and social media channels, with reposting by the public facilitating wider dissemination of images. The informal, shadowy, and sometimes transitory documentary practices that feature in urban exploration often exist as digital traces of the hobby. This article explores the documentary practices of urban explorers through semistructured, face-to-face interviews with seventeen urban explorers as well as investigations of their online presence. The highly secret nature of the hobby places urban explorers outside mainstream social participation; however, their approach to documenting and sharing with others reveals a unique means of understanding how individuals gather, create, share, and document information as part of their evolving documentary practices as individuals and as a hobby community.

Abstract:Though the term “gentrification”—a process by which residents in impoverished neighborhoods are displaced and the built environment altered to suit the tastes of wealthier residents—was introduced in 1964, documentary evidence of this phenomenon is still lacking. The author suggests real estate flyers as an appropriate focus for research efforts. The materiality of these documents—paper, photography, and the architectural features they reflect—offers opportunities to expand on extant efforts to document as well as resist gentrification. Examples from the author’s collection of real estate flyers gathered in the neighborhoods of West Oakland, California, are provided. In conclusion, documentary tactics are suggested as a complementary approach to documentation strategy in attempts to capture the sociomaterial dimensions of gentrification.

Abstract:The research presented herein provides insight into the use of chronological and geographical organization in the management of noninstitutional graffiti art image collections online. The use of smartphones and other GPS-enabled technology may lead one to expect precision in the geographic location of images, but this is not the norm when image galleries are often based on submissions from a large variety of sources, a small percentage of which may include the artists of the original works. The fact that graffiti art is very often carried out illegally influences the granularity of geographic information provided by those who submit photos to online graffiti art websites, as well as the willingness of those managing the websites to divulge precise information. Concerning the element of time, images added to the websites also lack precision in the differentiation of when a work was completed, modified, painted over, buffed or otherwise removed, photographed, or added to the image collection. Despite these challenges, time and, even more so, space remain commonly encountered organizational divisions used by those who manage online image galleries of graffiti art.

Abstract:This essay discusses implementation of a community-based participatory research project with the goal to reactivate a dormant community archive. The openED project is the focus of this case study as it provides insight into everyday documentation practices through an assessment and inventory of the archival holdings of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center (UCIMC) in Illinois. Established in 2000, the UCIMC is a grassroots collective of citizen journalists, artists, and community organizers. As an early hub in the nascent and global Indymedia network, this collective represents an antiglobalist and anticorporate agenda through magnifying community voices of underrepresented and marginalized groups. The UCIMC archive reflects this agenda, as it is a community-created collection of physical and digital materials representing the everyday documentation of the organization. From protest signs to radio and news articles, the core collection of member-created and member-collected material exists to support the activist mission of Indymedia. From the outset, the openED project faced a number of daunting challenges, both in locating the archival material and as the UCIMC entered a period of severe financial crisis in early 2019. This article is a reflection on lessons learned and strategies applied to create accessible and collaborative everyday documentation at the UCIMC community archive.

Abstract:Film genre is used in the “everyday” description of films, as well as by professional intermediaries, such as critics, curators, and librarians. This article examines seven film genre vocabularies used to describe and organize motion picture collections from across the spectrum of environmental and functional contexts: genre lists from two streaming services, the list used for the International Movie Database, those genres included on the “film genres” page of Wikipedia, the “professional” vocabularies of three film institutes (in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, respectively), as well as that developed by the Library of Congress, that is, its Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT), which covers films as well as other materials. The six nonlibrary genre vocabularies were mapped to the LCGFT, with degrees of alignment determined using a seven-point matching scale for each term. The most commonly mapped genres, as well as those that did not map to LCGFT at all, are identified and analyzed. Considerable nonalignment between most of the nonlibrary vocabularies and LCGFT was found; a range of likely factors involved is discussed, with the “professional” library and curatorial vocabularies not necessarily being more aligned. Various genres that did not map to LCGFT were suggested for possible inclusion.

Abstract:In this article, we argue that mutual adaptation can also be applied to understand graduate student implementation of curriculum. We position McLaughlin’s framework as an important tool for understanding students’ responses to the written and taught curriculum. Open pedagogy experiments can strategically introduce doctoral students to open practices, shaping their adoption of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy in their future teaching endeavors. This article describes the cocreation of a doctoral-level course assignment for a midwestern university’s School of Education. Utilizing the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Framework for Information Literacy, the course prepared doctoral students to curate resources for an OER research guide about commonly used research methodologies. Two librarians and one professor provided active mentoring on OER and infused information literacy concepts in the doctoral course through active learning tools, including video chalk talks, research consultations, and a card sort activity. Using McLaughlin’s theory of mutual adaptation, we analyzed student online discussions and course evaluations for evidence of mutual adaptation, resistance, and cooptation. While students generally exhibited mutual adaptation (emerging, mastery, and investment), findings center on when and how students co-opted or resisted the curriculum related to open access and authorship. The article concludes with implications for theory and practice and recommendations for practitioners interested in designing effective open pedagogy experiments and furthering doctoral students’ adoption of open practices.

Abstract:Campus partnerships are an increasingly common and dynamic entity on college campuses. To successfully achieve institutional goals, campus partners must collaborate and create communities of practice. Open educational resources (OER) is a rapidly growing area in higher education due to the increasing costs of attending college and increased student debt. By providing access to OER, colleges are supporting student success, increasing retention of students, and, most importantly, contributing to reducing students’ higher education debt. OER initiatives often fall under the purview of the academic library. While the library is an excellent place to start an affordable learning initiative, identifying pertinent campus partners and forming communities of practice will improve awareness of OER and increase OER adoption. This study utilized a survey to identify levels of current awareness and adoption of OER among faculty at a master’s comprehensive four-year public university in Pennsylvania. The goal was to provide a benchmark for assessing future progress. It also provided structure and a programming plan for a newly developed collaboration between the library, distance education, and Information Services & Technology. Survey results assisted the partnership in identifying ways to collaborate and implement strategies to increase awareness and adoption of OER on campus.

Abstract:Many stakeholders make up the open educational resources (OER) landscape and include faculty, students, administrators, librarians, bookstore managers, traditional publishers, OER authors/publishers/aggregators, and advocacy and support organizations. Each group operates from a unique perspective, and interest in OER is motivated by different factors. Moving forward, can all stakeholder groups be successful and work together? This article examines conditions facing each group while also noting barriers preventing movement toward OER. To further analyze interrelationships and interdependencies among groups, we present five specific types of power to describe how each group can exert power over and influence the other stakeholder groups, as well as be subjected to the power of others. A more complete understanding of the power dynamics at play in the OER movement will benefit those seeking to further their own interests, whether in favor of OER, opposed to OER, or undecided.
