It is our pleasure to bring you the September 2023 issue of the Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association (JALIA). In this issue, in addition to our regular features, we welcome selected papers from the 2022 Research Applications in Information and Library Studies (RAILS) Conference. These are introduced in the following Guest Editorial by Associate Professor Mary Carroll (2023) from the School of Information and Communication Studies at Charles Sturt University. The Guest Editorial contains a very interesting and useful brief history of RAILS. The first research paper in the issue is by a team at Charles Sturt University (Hider et al., 2023) and examines two sets of data sources (job advertisements and articles in INCITE (an Australian Professional LIS magazine) with the aim of comparing the knowledge and skills required by employers with librarians’ preoccupations and aspirations. Supported by an ALIA Research Grant, the second research paper is a timely one by Johnston (2023) and examines the impact and management of misinformation and disinformation at university libraries in Australia. These two research papers are followed by the RAILS papers, and also by an obituary written by Roxanne Missingham (2023), detailing the great contribution to librarianship, library and information research, and education for librarianship made by Dr Maxine Rochester. As usual the issue is rounded off with book reviews. Except when JALIA is running a themed issue, JALIA reviews tend to be on a wide variety of librarianship topics. This issue continues the broad approach with reviews on books about books; books about libraries, archives and museums; books about open data and open access; systematic reviews, managing data, managing technology – even a book on the social future of academic libraries. This issue we have a wide variety of reviewers as well. Some of our reviewers are distinguished professionals holding senior positions in the library landscape, others are beginning their contributions, submitting their first or second reviews. All of them write well in their own styles and generously bring their time and talents so you, the reader, might be kept up-to-date with the torrent of publishing that keeps our calling buoyant.
我们很高兴为您带来2023年9月号的《澳大利亚图书馆和信息协会杂志》。在本期中，除了我们的常规专题外，我们还欢迎2022年信息和图书馆研究研究应用会议（RAILS）的精选论文。Charles Sturt大学信息与传播研究学院的Mary Carroll副教授（2023）在以下客座社论中介绍了这些内容。客座编辑包含了一个非常有趣和有用的RAILS简史。本期的第一篇研究论文由查尔斯·斯特大学的一个团队撰写（Hider et al.，2023），研究了两组数据来源（澳大利亚专业LIS杂志INCITE上的招聘广告和文章），目的是将雇主所需的知识和技能与图书馆员的关注点和愿望进行比较。在ALIA研究拨款的支持下，Johnston（2023）及时发表了第二篇研究论文，研究了澳大利亚大学图书馆错误信息和虚假信息的影响和管理。这两篇研究论文之后是RAILS论文，还有Roxanne Missingham（2023）撰写的讣告，详细介绍了Maxine Rochester博士对图书馆事业、图书馆和信息研究以及图书馆教育的巨大贡献。像往常一样，这期杂志以书评结尾。除了JALIA正在发行一期主题期刊外，JALIA的评论往往涉及各种各样的图书馆学主题。这个问题延续了关于书籍的评论的广泛方法；关于图书馆、档案馆和博物馆的书籍；关于开放数据和开放访问的书籍；系统综述、数据管理、技术管理——甚至是一本关于学术图书馆社会未来的书。本期我们也有各种各样的评论家。我们的一些评审员是在图书馆领域担任高级职位的杰出专业人士，其他人正在开始他们的贡献，提交他们的第一次或第二次评审。他们都以自己的风格写得很好，并慷慨地投入了自己的时间和才华，这样你，读者，就可以随时了解出版的洪流，这让我们的使命充满活力。

ABSTRACT Reading has long been acknowledged as beneficial to physical and mental health. Many studies confirm bibliotherapy, or reading for therapy, has a meaningful place in the treatment toolkit for mild to moderate mental health conditions, chronic pain and loneliness. However, the joy and health benefits of reading can be denied to those undergoing cancer treatment because reading can become a frustrating, demanding activity due to cancer-related cognitive impairment. Fortunately, listening to a story provides a way to share stories with those suffering from this common side-effect. Integrative oncology employs a number of complementary therapies, however there is also a potential place for bibliotherapy. Utilising the warmth of real-time, in-person reading aloud, this research explores the extent to which a read-aloud program is associated with improvements in the emotional wellbeing of people undergoing cancer treatment. Bibliotherapy comes in many guises and fiction was utilised in this study. A potential outcome of this study may be to help make a case for the use of bibliotherapy as a psychosocial intervention for people affected by cancer, in particular under the guise of bibliotherapy via reading aloud. This project was presented at the 2022 RAILS conference and this paper describes the background and methodology.

Managing data for patron privacy focuses primarily on ‘what’ and ‘why’ of data – what data is being collected, and why – rather than the ‘how’ in which that data is stored. While the latter is important, the authors seek to present the antithesis of the approach favoured by search engine and social media behemoths – to collect and manage only that data which is appropriate and necessary, rather than vacuuming the world’s data exhaust in the hope it will one day be useful. The concept of ‘patron data’ tends to focus on data collected from the patron as they interact with library technology – the searches performed on public access computers, and the items borrowed from the collection. As such, data privacy discussions lend themselves especially well to patrons of public libraries–who engagewith their library for allmanner of reasons, some relating to very sensitive matters. However, Briney and Yoose increase the accessibility of their work by addressing the concept of patron privacy from an additional angle – the privacy of the patrons themselves as they enter and use the library’s physical space. Whether the patron’s movements are captured by security cameras, and the situation of public access computers within the library, are two of many ways the policies of each individual library – whether public, academic, school, or special – impacts how patrons interact with its spaces and services. Presented at the end of each chapter, fictional case studies are used to serve as an opportunity to reinforce the practical application of various data management theories, from both public and academic library perspectives. Briney and Yoose’s inherent North American focus (encapsulated in its early mention of the US PATRIOT Act) may initially be interpreted as a limitation; however subsequent chapters remind the reader that data rarely shares the same geographical bounds as the patron who generates it, or the library which collects it – the pertinence of this point being well-highlighted where vendors are concerned. Data is the new oil – like oil it holds value, and like oil, its mishandling can lead to damaging and hard-to-resolve situations.Managing Data for Patron Privacy offers an array of strategies to mitigate such situations, while inviting an intriguing question – can the library still be considered a private space?

I work on Whadjuk Noongar land and engage with schools across the country in my research, so I acknowledge and pay my respects to all First Nations people. Aboriginal people have been teaching and learning on these lands for tens of thousands of years, and central to that learning is the sharing of stories. A personal connection with the importance of sharing stories has influenced me deeply as a reader, an educator, and a teacher librarian, and this focus underpins my current research project. Reading is considered a cornerstone of student education, and is not only a core learning area itself, but serves to provide students access to all other learning domains. Research has regularly linked independent reading habits to student success in other subject areas, as noted by Whitten et al. (2016):

ABSTRACT Placements have been a long-standing practice of the Higher Education (HE) sector, including in the areas of libraries, archives, and records. The study investigates perceptions of placements amongst placement students, higher education program providers, placement host institutions, and accreditation bodies. A qualitative case study approach with individual semi-structure interviews as the means of data collection is employed. The research will facilitate and enable purposeful and effective student placement programs in the libraries, archives, and records sector.

LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer) activism has played a significant role in effecting legislative and social change in New Zealand and internationally, promulgating public attitudinal shifts towards tolerance and inclusion. These societal changes do not however appear to have resulted in the visible representation of the LGBTQ+ communities in New Zealand’s galleries, libraries, archives, museums and universities (GLAMU), a phenomenon recognised elsewhere. American historian Jim Downs (2021, p. 31) stated that ‘LGBT people have been the leading and often exclusive archivists of their own history; beginning in the 1970s and continuing until today’. LGBTQ+ communities have been driven to establish their own independent archives to document and preserve their stories. The lack of GLAMU institutional recognition of LGBTQ+ communities explicitly in their collections and services has been noted within the information science field. Scholars have expressed consternation at the lack of representation and visibility of LGBTQ+ communities in GLAMU institutions and the omission of LGBTQ+ historical context (Chenier, 2010; McIntyre, 2007). LGBTQ+ communities should be recognised in cultural heritage documentation and accurately represented in national and local narratives. My research will explore what is occurring in the collecting, documenting, and donating space with respect to New Zealand LGBTQ+ communities, LGBTQ+ independent archives and GLAMU institutions. My study has two research objectives. The first is to investigate what GLAMU institutions have put in place over time to document LGBTQ+ and the subsequent effects on LGBTQ+ independent archiving. The second is to explore the nature of the relationships between LGBTQ+ independent archives, LGBTQ+ donors and GLAMU institutions. These objectives will be investigated using a qualitative and interpretive approach that will draw on metamodern concepts to critically recognise injustice, inequality and exclusion. Several theoretical lenses will be applied: queer theory and affect theory around how collections are perceived, described and valued; ethics of care and radical empathy theories with respect to donor relationships.

This research project into the lived experiences of adult sentenced prisoners in Australia as they attempt to satisfy their legal information needs is being undertaken as part of PhD study at Charles Sturt University. In Australia, 115 adult custodial facilities hold 29,030 sentenced male and female prisoners (ABS, 2022; SCGRSP, 2021). Victoria Legal Aid identi fi es that of the 4,000 prisoner enquiries they receive annually, 37% are from sen-tenced prisoners seeking help for outstanding legal matters (Husper & Ferrari, 2018). This percentage suggests that a signi fi cant number of sentenced prisoners across Australia could require access to legal information. Relying on mixed methods for data collection, government reports into the legal information needs of prisoners recognise that a sentenced prisoner ’ s access to legal information is often compromised due to limited access to telephones, the location of some prisons preventing solicitor visits, fewer services being available to country prisons (such as legal resources), delays in receiving assistance and prison rules that prevent prisoners from controlling the process. The reports also found that some prisoners had positive experiences and outcomes when engaging in seeking to satisfy their legal information needs (Husper & Ferrari, 2018; Vic-torian Legal Assistance, 2015). Although these studies identify that prisoners can have positive and negative outcomes when seeking legal information, there has yet to be any published research on the lived experience of adult sentenced prisoners in Australia attempting to satisfy their legal information needs, so little is known about the phenomenon. Research into this phenomenon will be signi fi cant as it will lead to a deeper understanding and generate new knowledge of the lived experiences of prisoners attempting to satisfy their legal information needs, and the research will also add to the theoretical scholarly collection of phenomenological research studies into prisons and the experiences of prisoners within the prison context.

Relying on mixed methods for data collection, government reports into the legal information needs of prisoners recognise that a sentenced prisoner ’ s access to legal information is often compromised due to limited access to telephones, the location of some prisons preventing solicitor visits, fewer services being available to country prisons (such as legal resources), delays in receiving assistance and prison rules that prevent prisoners from controlling the process. The reports also found that some prisoners had positive experiences and outcomes when engaging in seeking to satisfy their legal information needs (Husper & Ferrari, 2018; Vic-torian Legal Assistance, 2015). Although these studies identify that prisoners can have positive and negative outcomes when seeking legal information, there has yet to be any published research on the lived experience of adult sentenced prisoners in Australia attempting to satisfy their legal information needs, so little is known about the phenomenon. Research into this phenomenon will be signi fi cant as it will lead to a deeper understanding and generate new knowledge of the lived experiences of prisoners attempting to satisfy their legal information needs, and the research will also add to the theoretical scholarly collection of phenomenological research studies into prisons and the experiences of prisoners within the prison context.","PeriodicalId":53976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association","volume":"72 1","pages":"311 - 312"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45805364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
