Displacement or complementarity? Assessing the relationship between social media and public library usage in the U.S., South Korea, and Singapore
This study tested this displacement hypothesis with survey data collected from three nations (the U.S.: N =879; South Korea: N =700; and Singapore: N =987). Ordinal regressions were used to investigate the relationship between the use of social media and nine public library services, taking into account individual demographic differences. The results show that for all three nations, social media use has significant complementary relationships with all nine library services examined. Computer and information literacy training showed the largest effect size. However, signs of displacement effects were observed in the odds ra...

Equitable access: Information seeking behavior, information needs, and necessary library accommodations for transgender patrons
This study highlights the unique accommodations integral to welcoming transgender library patrons. Research shows transgender people have unique needs which differ from lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) individuals, and experience substantial barriers to obtaining quality library service. Most studies in the past exploring the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender library users focused exclusively on LGBQ users. This study surveyed adult transgender individuals (n =102) with an online questionnaire. The majority of participants were white, designated female at birth, and under 40years old. Survey responde...

Research agenda for social and collaborative information seeking
Publication date: April 2017 Source:Library & Information Science Research, Volume 39, Issue 2 Author(s): Chirag Shah, Rob Capra, Preben Hansen Scholars in diverse fields of inquiry have identified the need to expand individual-based information seeking and behavior models and systems to incorporate social as well as collaborative dimensions. However, the research areas of Social Information Seeking (SIS) and Collaborative Information Seeking (CIS) have been largely disconnected from one another despite a few notable attempts to study them under one umbrella. Researchers in these communities have recently real...

Toward collaborator selection and determination of data ownership and publication authorship in research collaborations
This study examined factors that might affect researchers' willingness to collaborate with a specific researcher and the priorities given to those factors. In addition, it investigated how researchers determined the ownership of collaborative project data and how they determined the order of authorship on collaborative publications in condensed matter physics. In general, researchers rated their intrinsic motivations the highest, such as the quality of ideas a potential collaborator might have and their satisfaction with a past collaboration, followed by their extrinsic motivations, such as the complementary knowledge, ski...

Diversity-related research reported in high-impact library and information science journal literature: A content analysis
This study reports a content analysis of the frequency distribution of diversity-related research in four high-impact Library and Information Science (LIS) journals published between 1995 and 2014. High-impact journals (with high rankings and impact factors) were chosen because empirically based articles from them are more likely to be able to influence future research direction. The journals chosen were published articles quarterly or bi-monthly, with an average of 5–6 articles per issue. A total of 1766 research articles were collected, with 28.71% determined to be related to diversity. Results show an increasing inter...
