Observing Graduate Students' Use of Library Space
Harrington, Marni R.
Humphreys, Amanda
Based on a “sweeps” study in public libraries (Given & Leckie, 2003), this observational research tracks how the physical space and resources are used in a faculty-supported graduate library. We create a snapshot of what is going on in the library at a given moment in time, and then compile the results to determine how users behave in our space. These results will inform planning for an upcoming move.

Embedded Information Literacy: An Arts & Humanities Model
Harrington, Marni
Sich, Christy
With the installation of a new Arts & Humanities Dean and recognizing the need to address the information literacy skills of undergraduates, the faculty and library teamed-up to integrate course design. We piloted an embedded information literacy program for a 3rd year course in the Department of Classical Studies. The implementation was successful due to collaboration with the faculty, department and course instructor as well as the continual assessment, adaptation and evaluation of the course content. Due to the organic nature of this model, it may be adapted to other programs in Arts & Humanities.

It's Just Plain Common(s) Sense: Grounding Space Planning in Evidence-Based Research
Mills, Melanie
The Graduate Resource Centre (GRC) at The University of Western Ontario (Western) is a special library independently operated by the Faculty of Information and Media Studies (FIMS). Exclusively serving the communities of FIMS four graduate programs – Journalism, Media Studies, Library and Information Science and Popular Music and Culture – the GRC has a well-established and longstanding tradition of supporting teaching and learning excellence at FIMS.
As Western’s youngest and fastest growing Faculty, FIMS quickly outgrew its existing space on campus. Plans to relocate the entire Faculty, including its in-house library and information centre, are now underway. The University has earmarked a much larger building on campus for FIMS and the Faculty is now next in line for new space.
With this pending move on the horizon comes an opportunity for the Faculty to reconsider not only the physical design of the GRC, but also its existing service model. Is a learning commons a possibility? A Faculty-wide needs assessment will help determine the answer.
In this session, conference delegates will hear about the forming stages of planning FIMS’ new library and information facility as the GRC sets out this exciting journey. Attendees will hear about the collaborative approach used to ground decision making in evidence-based research, where students in all three sections of a mandatory LIS research methods course responded to a request for proposals from the GRC. Methodologies adopted for the needs assessment, as well as preliminary research results, will also be shared.

Another Look at Bill C-32 and the Access Copyright Tariff: Still Double Trouble for Higher Education
Trosow, Samuel E.
Earlier this year, the government tabled Bill C-32, proposed amendments to the Copyright Act. Following a consultation process, the Bill is widely recognized as more reasonable than its predecessor, Bill C-61. On the positive side, the bill would expand fair dealing to explicitly include "education". On the other hand, the digital locks provisions of the Bill are fundamentally flawed and override many existing and proposed users rights. Also this year, Access Copyright filed a proposed tariff for the post-secondary education sector with the Copyright Board. The proposal, which includes a drastic increase in costs as well as numerous new reporting and auditing requirements has met with stiff opposition from the educational sector. Following up on his July presentation (http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/fimspres/4/), Dr. Samuel Trosow discusses the interrelated provisions of these measures and reviews the various responses from the educational community.

Democratizing Access to Knowledge: Find Out What Open Educational Resources (OER) Have to Offer
McNally, Michael B.
This presentation provides an overview of Open Educational Resources (OER). It begins by describing what OER are and why they are important. It then examines where OER can be found and provides some screenshots of the OER Commons, MIT`s Open Courseware Initiative and Multimedia Educational Resources for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT). The presentation also covers copyright and licensing issues, including a description of the Creative Commons licensing system. It concludes with a brief discussion of how to create OER and provides additional references and resources.

Because I Am Not Here: Second Life Based Artists, Four Selected Case Studies
Toledo Ramírez, Francisco Gerardo
Second Life (SL) is an on-line virtual world ‘inhabited’ by avatars that are designed by actual life users (SL residents). In SL identity, sociability and subjectivity are important and permanent aspects of the goal of having a second (virtual) existence.
My doctoral thesis (in progress) is centred on the work of 4 artists in SL and how they play with autoempathy, identity an subjectivity in the liminal shifting of aesthetic regimes (that rely upon temporalities rather than spatialities) present in their SL artwork. This is what Anna Munster calls the distribute aesthetics1 of virtual worlds.
Lacan Galicia, my avatar in SL, works in four case studies concerning these subjects. The expected findings of my research can contribute to the discussion of the theories of digital aesthetics and interactive virtual worlds at large.

Rethinking Tradition: The Impact of Technology & the Loss of Serendipity on the Historical Research Process
Quan-Haase, Anabel
Martin, Kim
The move towards the digital humanities will see a growing interest in tools such as Ebooks. This study examines how historians perceive Ebooks and other technologies as impacting their research process. Findings indicate that historians are concerned that the digital environment reduces the possibility of chance encounters with a text. They continue to recreate the environment that encourages serendipity to occur within their field, and would readily welcome tools that facilitate this.

Intellectual Property and Its Alternatives: Incentives, Innovation and Ideology
McNally, Michael B.
This dissertation examines the ability of intellectual property (IP) and its alternatives to both facilitate and impede innovation. Over the past 30 years there has been both an expansionary IP policy regime marked by significant increases in IP protection and a flourishing of alternatives to IP as digital technologies empower end users to create and disseminate intellectual works. However, it remains unclear as to whether alternatives to IP can mitigate the problems of exclusionary IP rights while also encouraging innovation. This dissertation provides a theoretical framework for analyzing alternatives to IP focusing on the incentives structures utilized, ability to produce innovative outcomes, and the kind of innovation engendered with the aim of identifying which alternatives are substantive alternatives to IP.

Access Copyright & Technology: Legal and Policy Issues in Education
Di Valentino, Lisa
Access Copyright is a collective organization representing thecopyright interests of publishers and creators. The collective offerscopyright licences that allow certain limited uses of works in thecollective's repertoire. The use of collective licences as part ofcopyright management policy was common in post-secondary educationadministration until 2010, when many universities opted out of acontractual relationship with Access Copyright.The growing movement towards online open access publishing andCreative Commons public licensing has made information more widelyavailable without requiring payment and with fewer restrictions onuse. The addition of education to the list of fair dealing purposes inthe Copyright Act, along with the inclusion of provisions allowing fornon-commercial user-generated content and use of materials availableon the Internet, means that educational institutions can moreconfidently rely on the user rights afforded by the law. The 2012Supreme Court decision in Alberta (Education) v Access Copyrightconfirms that exceptions to copyright infringement in the legislationshould be interpreted broadly.I will discuss the innovations in information technology, legislativechanges, and court decisions that have led some to question theutility and economy of collective licences.

FIPPA Requests : A How-To Workshop
Di Valentino, Lisa
Ontario's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act regulates information privacy and access to information in the public sector. It applies to information held by the provincial government and its agencies, including colleges and universities. Provincial institutions must delegate an officer to handle such requests, and deal directly with the individual who is seeking access. Appeals of the institution's decision are handled by the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner. This workshop will cover the process of filing a formal information request, tips for ensuring that you obtain relevantrecords, and how to challenge an institution's decision to withhold information.

Open Access: Historical Highlights, Issues and Policies
St-Pierre, Paul
Di Valentino, Lisa
Trosow, Samuel
Print publishing relies on enclosure of information in a physical object (book). The digital environment potentially increases access (online journals). Publishers, however, can implement control beyond that which is possible in a print world; for example, license agreements that try to restrict user rights such as fair dealing. Open access is an increasingly popular publishing option, and represents a progressive application of technology and alternatives to traditional intellectual property. This moderated panel discussion with University of Western Ontario scholars, is an introduction to the origins of problems in scholarly publishing, current open access initiatives, and educational policies.

Licence Agreements and Copyright: An Examination of the Issues
Di Valentino, Lisa
In this presentation I will discuss some of the factors that are relevant to an understanding of the relationship between copyright and private ordering of legal obligations such as licensing agreements and technological protection measures. I will conclude that there is a strong argument to be made that provisions purporting to limit fair dealing and other exceptions may be unenforceable.

Highs and Lows: An Examination of Academic Librarians’ Collective Agreements.
Harrington, Marni
Gerolami, Natasha
The following study is a textual analysis of collective agreements from Canadian Universities that include provisions for librarians. There has for many years been a focus on the “crisis in librarianship.” The hope with this research is to celebrate the victories and highlight how collective agreements are foundations upon which librarians can build. The collective agreements act as signposts of the gains that librarians have made over the years in negotiations with administration and as advocates on campuses across the country. This project documents the advances librarians have made and makes recommendations for areas where further activism may be needed. The research focusses on how Academic Librarian positions are described and codified in University collective agreements in Canada. What provisions are there in collective agreements to protect Academic Librarians' from de‐professionalization, protect their academic freedom, control their workload, ensure job security and/or protect against contracting out? Collective agreements will be compared for their similarities and the gaps that may exist.

Awareness and Perception of Copyright Among Teaching Faculty at Canadian Universities
Di Valentino, Lisa
In this talk I discuss the results of a survey of Canadian university faculty members undertaken from October to December 2014. The survey sought to determine teaching faculty awareness of copyright law and institutional policy and training, and how they would respond in various scenarios.
Analysis of the results suggests that while faculty members are aware of the existence of their institution's copyright policy, much fewer know whether their institution offers training. Of those who do know about training, only one-third have attended. However, faculty who have attended copyright training find that their knowledge is enhanced by the experience.
It also appears that respondents are more comfortable reproducing and displaying materials in class that are freely available on the Internet, like YouTube videos and images, but more likely to ask for permission or guidance when it comes to print materials or electronic versions of print materials like PDFs.

Professional and public: Shaping our online professional identities to tell our story
Harrington, Marni
What was personal and private is now public and permanent. How can we use this permanence to our advantage? How do we ensure our public profile is accurate and tells our professional story, not only the story of our library or institution? Proactively creating and managing our own online professional identities can help us control our story, and the content we create for our profiles can improve the awareness and communication within and beyond our library communities. Our online presence also offers another way to present our work, find collaborators, connect with colleagues, and establish professional credibility.
As practitioners in a world where daily interactions now occur in online environments, having a complete, accurate, accessible, and up-to-date online presence is essential. A public, professional identity also ensures that our professional story is told outside the paradigm of institutional branding: Who are you? What is your role in your institution? What do you do? What have you created?
A recent study found more than 90 percent of engineering librarians had some sort of online profile on their library or university website (White, 2013). However, many were lacking basic information about rank, position title, educational background, lists of publications or presentations, or a link to their full CV. While online institutional structures do not always provide the best template to create a robust online profile for librarians, they may be used as a starting point.
This poster presents background information about librarians and their online professional identities. A list of strategies that may be used within existing online organizational structures (e.g. library websites and institutional repositories), are discussed along with a comparison of viable alternatives (e.g. LinkedIn, Research Gate, Academia U, and Google Scholar Citations). Finally, best practices for analyzing a current online presence, some tools for creating a professional profile, suggested content elements to populate a profile, and maintenance recommendations will be highlighted.

Professional Identity and You: Why Self-Concept Matters in Librarianship
Tanner, Kevin
Kevin Tanner addresses the importance of professional identity in librarianship. In the Summer 2015 semester, he completed an independent study on the construction of professional identity of librarians on Twitter through professional development and networking. During this session, he shares the results of that study and give suggestions on how you can begin to find your own professional identity while still retaining your individuality. While there are many stereotypes about librarians, they are not “one-size-fits-all” professionals, and a new modern image of the professional has begun to emerge in the digital age through a thoughtful reflection on identity.

Putting the pieces together: Endometriosis blogs, cognitive authority, and collaborative information behaviour
Neal, Diane M.
McKenzie, Pamela J.
Abstract: Endometriosis causes female pelvic pain and infertility. This study examines blogs written by endometriosis patients in the context of collaborative information sharing. Preliminary discourse analysis supported previous studies that found patients questioning medical professionals’ cognitive authority. Additionally, the blogger’s affective authority may play a role in readers’ information judgements. Résumé : L'endométriose cause chez les femmes des douleurs au pelvis et l'infertilité. Cette étude examine les blogues rédigés par les patientes souffrant d'endométriose dans un contexte d'échange d'information collaborative. L'analyse préliminaire du discours corrobore des études antérieures qui ont démontré que les patientes remettent en question l'autorité cognitive des professionnels de la santé. Par ailleurs, l'autorité affective des blogueuses peut jouer un rôle dans le jugement informationnel des lectrices.

Information Provision for Informed Prenatal Decision Making
Burkell, Jacquelyn
McKenzie, Pamela J.
Abstract: In decision making in maternity care, midwives provide information to support clientcentred decisions. Although midwives are expected to maintain neutrality, a variety of concerns limit nondirectiveness. The impact of these concerns is explored through qualitative analysis of midwife-client interactions. The results provide insight into what counts as “information” in these interactions. Résumé : Lors de la prise de décision dans les soins de maternité, les sages-femmes offrent des informations pour soutenir les décisions de leurs patientes. Bien que l’on suppose que les sages-femmes doivent conserver une certaine neutralité, de nombreuses préoccupations limitent le manque de directives. L’impact de ces préoccupations est exploré à travers une analyse qualitative des interactions entre sages-femmes et patientes. Les résultats présentent un aperçu de ce qui est considéré comme « information » dans ces interactions.

Time is of the essence: Social theory of time and its implications for LIS research
Davies, Elizabeth
McKenzie, Pamela J.
Abstract: “Time,” like “information,” is a concept that has received a great deal of attention in some disciplines and is ignored or taken for granted in others. Traditional studies of information seeking have focussed on spatial issues – primarily, locating/ location of sources – to the neglect of temporal issues. This paper proposes that the social constructivist theoretical paradigm recently adopted by LIS researchers demands recognition of social time; that is, not absolute time, but another type of meaning constructed between people through their interactions. Attending to social concepts of time can have important implications for research into organizational and individual information behaviour. Information practices in organizations and work groups within organizations cannot be fully understood without acknowledging the multitude of times that exist within such groups. Studies of workplace information practices focus variously on organizations, project teams, task forces, crews, departments, etc. Each group has a different temporal existence based on its practices. For example, organizations, departments and communities imply longevity as well as duration. We describe a developing study of information practices in a limited-duration work group. Traditional studies of information seeking often consider individuals’ descriptions of their information seeking behaviour as transparent representations of underlying cognitive processes. A constructivist stance permits an analysis of the ways that accounts of information seeking can take discursive action: the ways that such accounts are structured and the ways they may be used to make claims about individuals’ general behaviour or competence, and to prescribe or proscribe certain sets of activities. The concept of “time” may then be used as a discursive resource by individuals in a social interaction. We report findings from a study of the ways that information seekers may use various representations of “time” in justifying certain kinds of information seeking behaviour.

“What’ s wrong with that woman?” – Positioning Theory and Information-Seeking Behaviour
McKenzie, Pamela J.
Carey, Robert Gene
Abstract We offer social positioning theory (Davies and Harre 1990) as a framework for exploring the ways in which the visibility of an individual’ s health status is linked to socially constructed subjectivities that can affect the individual’ s informationseeking behaviour. Qualitative analysis of data from two doctoral studies (collected through participant observation and 40 semi-structured interviews) illustrates the utility of social positioning theory as a framework for studying two specific health contexts: systematic lupus erythematosus, and twin pregnancy. Adopting a ‘ position’ involves the use of discursive practices which define the relations between self and others. Such practices frequently draw upon common social representations of particular phenomena (Van Langehove and Harre 1994). Our findings indicate that the visibility of health status is related to subject positioning, and that positioning theory offers insight into the mutually specifying correspondence between local discursive practices and styles of information behavior. The pregnant woman’ s expanding abdomen makes her health status evident to others, often positioning her as a willing recipient of advice and information (Browner and Press 1997). Cultural assumptions associated with “ twins” can both facilitate and constrain the woman’ s information seeking (“ Better you than me.” ). However, the stock of shared cultural understandings associated with lupus is comparatively sparse (Senecal 1991). Symptoms such as hair loss, skin rash, and weight gain may therefore lead to positions which are experienced by novice patients as stigmatizing (“ What’ s wrong with that woman?” ). Even when evident symptoms disappear, the stigmatized position can be maintained through secrecy (“ No one can tell I have lupus.” ). In these situations, information-seeking is relegated to the confidential encounters characteristic of expert disciplinary regimes. As a heuristic tool, then, positioning theory provides an opportunity for analysis of the means by which the information-seeking subject is configured through discursive encounters.

Interviews with Lifelong Readers: Preliminary Findings from the EDITS (Effects of Digital Information Technology on Seniors) Project
Quan-Haase, Anabel
Schreurs, Kathleen
Martin, Kim
This poster outlines the preliminarily findings of the EDITS study: an inquiry into the digital information habits of senior citizens. The research presented here will focus on the adoption of ereading technology by seniors in order to determine the habits and attitudes, motivations, and barriers experienced by this demographic. Employing semi-structured interviews and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study aims to investigate one element of the digital divide that sometimes goes unnoticed: age. Despite ingrained habits based on print, findings show motivations, such as convenience, contribute to the adoption of ereading by seniors.

Laying the Foundation for Copyright Policy and Practice in Canadian Universities
Di Valentino, Lisa
Due to significant changes in the Canadian copyright system, universities are seeking new ways to address the use of copyrighted works within their institutions. While the law provides quite a bit of leeway for use of copyrighted materials for educational and research purposes, the response by Canadian universities and related associations has not been to fully embrace their legal rights – rather, they have taken an approach that places emphasis on risk avoidance rather than maximizing use of materials, unlike their American counterparts. In the U.S., where educational fair use is arguably less flexible in application than fair dealing, there is a higher level of copyright advocacy among professional associations, and several sets of best practices have been created to guide the application of copyright to educational use of materials.
Canada is lagging behind the U.S. in this respect, placing Canadian universities at a relative disadvantage. The goal of this study is to lay the foundation for the development of policies and guidelines in the use of copyrighted works, and the provision of copyright literacy education in universities. The research will be undertaken from a critical perspective, with the goal of promoting fair dealing and other exceptions as user rights within the institution, and a reduction in risk aversion.
The methodology employed is both qualitative and quantitative and includes legal analysis, content analysis of policies and guidelines, and collection of survey data.

All in for Privacy: Cultivating a Community of Information Privacy Awareness
Taylor, Lindsay
Harrington, Marni R.
Ward, Matt
The Library Freedom Project supports librarianship’s values of freedom of information and privacy by providing relevant tools and education to LIS professionals. A group from the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western aligned with the project to encourage student participation in local and global privacy issues. Our programming encourages hands-on use of open source and anti-surveillance software, such as Tor Browser for anonymous web browsing. In addition, we detail how we configured our Tor relay to route anonymous encrypted global traffic, so that other libraries can join the 280 relays currently running in Canada and 7000 worldwide.

Local Actions/Global Implications: The Economic and Social Impacts of OA Publishing
Murgu, Cal
The second speaker will highlight the increased impact of open access publications compared to subscription-based publications, as shown in citation-based studies as well as altmetrics such as download reports. In order to access research published in a non-open access publication, readers must either be affiliated with an institution that subscribes to the publication, purchase an individual subscription, or pay to view/rent a particular article. Taking Scholarship@Western as a case in point, the second speaker will demonstrate the global impact of open access research. Because the content published in Scholarship@Western is indexed by Google and Google Scholar, researchers all around the world are able to find and access the research output of the Western community.

Perceptions of Clickbait: A Q-Methodology Approach
Chen, Yimin
Rubin, Victoria L
Clickbait is “content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page” (“clickbait,” n.d.). The term is also generally used to refer specifically to the attention-grabbing headlines. Critics of clickbait argue that clickbait is shallow, misleading, and ubiquitous – “a new word that has become synonymous with online journalism” (Frampton, 2015). It is the subject of a small, but growing number of studies in disciplines ranging from linguistics, communications, and information sciences. Palau-Sampio (2016) analyzed linguistic strategies associated with tabloid journalism in the Spanish digital newspaper Elpais.com, concluding that there is a trend towards lower quality news reporting. In their research on Danish news sites, Blom & Hansen (2015) identified forward-referencing, specifically the use of empty pronouns to create an information gap, as a feature of clickbait headlines. Chen, Conroy & Rubin (2015) proposed that automatic identification of clickbait could draw upon three types of features: a) lexico-semantic and pragmatic linguistic patterns (e.g. unresolved pronouns, affective and suspenseful language, action words, overuse of numerals, and reverse narratives), b) incongruent image placement with a possible emotional load, and c) user reading and commenting behavior. An effort in automated identification of clickbait by Potthast, et al. (2016) achieved 79% accuracy on Twitter tweets. But debate still rages over what the word actually means (Gardiner, 2015).

NATIVE ADVERTISING: ADS IN DISGUISE AS EDITORIALS
Cornwell, Sarah
Rubin, Victoria L
Native advertising, paid for by corporate funding, may fool news readers into thinking that they are reading investigative journalism editorials. Such misleading practice constitutes an internal threat to the profession of journalism and may further deteriorate mainstream media trust. If information users are unaware of the Native Ads original promotional nature, they may find themselves insufficiently informed or mislead by its content. This study investigates cases of Native Ads in terms of their contextual use, distinctive features, and likeness to editorials. LIS should aim to provide clear discernment guidelines and consider automated user alerts.

News Verification Suite: Towards System Design to Supplement Reporters’ and Editors’ Judgements
Rubin, Victoria L
The News Verification Suite aims to provide users with a set of functions to verify information in the news. This paper offers a conceptual basis and a vision of system elements towards automated fact-checking in news production, curation, and consumption. The traditional model of journalism is compared to ‘news sharing a.s.a.p.’, highlighting similarities between journalistic criteria of excellence and LIS mandates for credibility and information quality. Potential steps for intervention with text-analytical technologies are identified – deception detection, rumor busting, satire labeling; they are nascent but feasible. Automated news verification can support and supplement news producers’ and news readers’ decision-making.

Deception Detection & Rumor Debunking
Rubin, Victoria L
(1) Deception Detection and (2) Rumor Debunking, as the title suggests,and I will argue for the need of hybrid methods (in a combination of the two). My main goal here is to point researchers interested in social media research towards these 2 exciting fields. I predict that such technologies (with more R&D, as they mature) will become indispensable in our attention-economy. Content producers are rushed to be first in the news stream, and social media consumers simply don’t have time or energy to verify content that is pushed at them.

Towards News Verification: Deception Detection Methods for News Discourse
Chen, Yimin
Rubin, Victoria L
Conroy, Niall
News verification is a process of determining whether a particular news report is truthful or deceptive. Deliberately deceptive (fabricated) news creates false conclusions in the readers’ minds. Truthful (authentic) news matches the writer’s knowledge. How do you tell the difference between the two in an automated way? To investigate this question, we analyzed rhetorical structures, discourse constituent parts and their coherence relations in deceptive and truthful news sample from NPR’s “Bluff the Listener”. Subsequently, we applied a vector space model to cluster the news by discourse feature similarity, achieving 63% accuracy. Our predictive model is not significantly better than chance (56% accuracy), though comparable to average human lie detection abilities (54%). Methodological limitations and future improvements are discussed. The long-term goal is to uncover systematic language differences and inform the core methodology of the news verification system.

The Protection of Indigenous Intellectual Property Rights
Seelye, Melissa
Librarians and archivists have played prominent roles in initiatives aimed at preserving indigenous cultural heritage in recent decades. Such initiatives have evolved in response to the relative lack of legal protections for indigenous cultural heritage of an intangible nature, especially compared to title laws intended to regulate the use of indigenous lands, burial sites, and plants. Even non-legally binding resolutions that take a holistic approach to indigenous property have proven contentious, with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) having only been ratified in 2007, despite being drafted in 1993. Grounded in a critical understanding of the roles libraries have played in colonial policies and the ongoing (mis-)appropriation of indigenous culture, this poster presentation demonstrates the inadequacy of existing intellectual property laws in the case of indigenous cultural heritage. It problematizes initiatives that situate academic libraries as the preservers of indigenous intellectual property before making the case for a shift in power dynamics based on the principle of “self-determination” for indigenous communities. Alternative frameworks are outlined whereby academic librarians would assume the role of advocates for indigenous intellectual property rights, as opposed to their traditional role as preservation specialists.

Douez v Facebook: Implications for Canadian Information Policy
Trosow, Samuel E.
This presentation was made for Lou D'Alton's Information Policy class in the Faculty of Information & Media Studies. It looks at the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Douez v Facebook Inc where the court declined to dismiss an action brought against Facebook Inc for breach of privacy. The action was based on the B.C. Privacy Act and it was brought as a class action in B.C.
Facebook sought to dismiss the action because of a "choice of forum" clause in its terms of service agreement which said that disputes will be brought in California courts.
This presentation looks at the case in greater detail and also considers its implications for other consumer license agreements where terms often purport to supersede statutory rights. The author would like to thank Prof. D'Alton and the Library & Information Science graduate students in his class for their thoughtful feedback and questions.

"I'm Not Evil. I'm Chaotic Neutral!": On the Classification of Internet Trolls
Chen, Yimin
What does it mean to be a troll? For many people, trolling essentially means “being a butt while on the internet” – or worse. Mainstream news reporting has consistently characterized internet trolls as anti-social and malicious with stories of obscenity, harassment, and cyberbullying. However, this portrayal has been critiqued as misrepresentative and is often at odds with how trolls see themselves: as comical rather than criminal. This work aims to disambiguate some of these conflicting narratives and map out different conceptions of trolling by investigating the perspective of the online onlookers who inhabit the digital spaces and places where trolling occurs. As informed, but (usually) uninvolved witnesses to acts of trolling, the experiences of these “internauts” are invaluable when trying to understand online behaviours and cultures in context. What emerges is a multifaceted picture of trolling as sometimes positive and sometimes negative, but always motivated by chaos.

What Am I Reading?: Article-style Native Advertisements in Canadian Newspapers
Rubin, Victoria
Cornwell, Sarah
Native ads are ubiquitous in the North American digital news context. Their form, content and presentational style are practically indistinguishable from regular news editorials, and thus are often mistaken for informative content by newsreaders. This advertising practice is deceptive, in that it exploits loopholes in human digital literacy. Despite this, it is flourishing as a lucrative digital news advertising format. This paper documents and compares the 2018 Canadian news editorial writing and advertising practices in an effort to highlight their similarities and differences for potential automatic detection and categorization. We collected 10 native ads and 10 editorial pieces from 4 Canadian newspapers. The 80 analyzed articles consisted of 40 native ads content-matched to editorials in the same newspaper. The individually-matched pairs and overall practices in the 2 groups were content-analyzed and compared. Native ads did not differ much from editorial articles in content but were likely to be surrounded by different types of advertising. In addition, advertisement labelling practices were inconsistent across national papers. We call for increased efforts in regulation and automatic detection of convert advertising by a more nuanced categorization and their more explicit labeling in the digital news.

Comparing Features of Fabricated and Legitimate Political News in Digital Environments (2016-2017)
Rubin, Victoria
Asubiaro, Toluwase Victor
With the problem of ‘fake news’ in the digital media, there are efforts at creation of awareness, automation of ‘fake news’ detection and news literacy. This research is descriptive as it pulls evidence from the content of online fabricated news for the features that distinguish fabrications from the legitimate political news around the time of the U.S. Presidential Elections (276 articles in total, from November 2016 - June 2017). Certain stylistic and psycho-linguistic features of fabrications may be apparent to the news readers: fewer words and paragraphs but longer paragraphs, more slangs, swear words and affective words in the stories. Such features could be used for educational information literacy campaigns for spotting so-called ‘fake news’. Other informative features may require specialized analytical tools (or further training) to notice the presence of more words, punctuation marks, demonstratives and emotiveness in fabrications but fewer verifiable facts (or named entities) in their headlines.

Educators' Perceptions of Information Literacy and Skills Required to Spot 'Fake News'
Rubin, Victoria
Delellis, Nicole
This research examines the concept of 'fake news' in the context of information literacy (IL) in a post-secondary educational setting. Educators' perceptions shape both IL curricula and classroom discussions with students. We conducted 18 interviews with members of 3 integral groups implementing IL education (8 professors, 6 librarians, 4 department chairs). Interviews explored participants' perceptions of: IL education, perceived skills associated with IL, skills required to spot 'fake news', and gaged our participants' willingness to incorporate segments dedicated to detecting 'fake news' in IL curriculum. Our qualitative findings identify a substantial overlap that exists between skills associated with IL and 'fake news' detection (e.g., close-reading, critical disposition, bias awareness). Professors and academic administrators also appeared to underappreciate the role of librarians as IL educators. We advocate improving communication among integral facilitators of IL education. More research is needed to assess effectiveness of IL education as an 'inoculation' against 'fake news.'

Lessons Learned from Teaching Scholarly Communication Alongside a Student-Run Journal
Seelye, Melissa
This presentation describes the development and evolution of the Scholarly Communication and Open Access Publishing course in the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program at Western University. The course has been offered as an online elective once a year since 2018, and its initial impetus was to provide a sustainable peer review model for the MLIS student-run journal Emerging Library & Information Perspectives (ELIP). Students in the class are tasked with peer reviewing submissions and providing additional quality control during the production process, but the journal complements the curriculum, as opposed to driving it. Experiential learning opportunities are framed within theoretical frameworks that encourage students to critically reflect on common practices in the journal publishing industry, including double blind peer review, the reliance on volunteer labor, and article processing charges. ELIP provides a case study to inform these conversations, and students are ultimately tasked with creating a sustainable open access journal proposal. I summarize lessons I have learned through teaching this course, ranging from recommendations for structuring experiential and peer learning in an online environment to tips for integrating journal workflows into the curriculum. To conclude, I will argue that courses such as this can be used across disciplines to bridge the scholarly communication divide between theory and practice, placing them in a dialectic relationship of enrichment.

Rural Youth, Reading and Libraries: Fostering a Place Ballet
Rothbauer, Paulette
This paper explores the place of the rural library in the context of reading habits of teens. Using Derek Seamon’s concept of the place ballet, four themes are discussed: daily reading practices, the visibility of the library, the Internet as a reading site and the temporal constraints on leisure reading.
Cet article explore la place des bibliothèques en milieu rural dans le contexte des habitudes de lecture des adolescents. À partir du concept de ballet collectif (place ballet) de Derek Seamon, quatre thèmes seront discutés : des exercices quotidiens de lecture, la visibilité de la bibliothèque, Internet comme site de lecture et les contraintes temporelles sur la lecture comme passe-temps.

Collection Development in Practice: Rural Public Library
Webb, Jennifer
Lemieux, Alida
Rieger, Natysha
Mancia, Cynthia
Library collection management is an ongoing process of selecting and deselecting – or weeding – materials based on institutional policies, budgets, and community needs. In this hypothetical collection management exercise, we were given a selection budget of $1000 and expected to examine and manage a portion of a rural public library’s collection. Our group chose the Brighton Public Library’s (BPL’s) print collection on Canada’s involvement in World War II. We compared publicly available community demographic and library use statistics for Brighton and Brighton Public Library with those of three other Ontario communities/libraries to complete a community assessment, and we compared BPL’s mission, vision, strategic plan, and collection management policy to its online public access catalogue to assess the current collection, and ultimately determine selection and weeding criteria. We also employed list-checking to select materials and, as per BPL’s policy, the Texas CREW Method to weed materials. Conducting this collection management exercise was much more difficult than expected; we struggled to spend the budget, selecting over 80 children’s and young adult titles based on the collection gap we identified for these age groups. At the same time, we weeded only three copies of books in the collection. We learned that successful collection management is not only rooted in library policy, library values, and community values/needs/wants; it is an iterative, reciprocal process.

Open or Openwashing? Preliminary Findings from a Content Analysis of Publisher Websites
Waugh, Courtney
Carlisle-Johnston, Emily
The term openwashing originated in 2009, when Michelle Thorne coined and defined it as the process of “spin[ning] a product or company as open, although it is not.” The term has since become more commonplace around scholars and practitioners, who sometimes call out acts of openwashing to signal that despite claims suggesting otherwise, a product, service, or company does not fulfill requirements to be Open.
A recent literature review by the authors concluded that while research on the topic is minimal, commentary on openwashing coalesces around two themes: marketing and transparency. Openness as a virtue has become a marketing asset that academic publishers can capitalize on by co-opting the language of Open without adherence to Open values.
This poster presents the preliminary findings of a content analysis of publisher websites examining how publishers market 'Open' to authors. We examined webpages about Open Access from 25 medium-to-large size academic publishers, and surfaced key themes and categorized publisher tactics that are characteristic of openwashing. By openwashing, we mean cases in which a publisher has presented their organization as supporting and enabling Open, but further exploration shows that it does not.
By surfacing common themes, our research marks the first comprehensive effort to categorize publisher tactics that are characteristic of openwashing. Themes identified in our analysis will inform a framework that can teach LIS professionals “how to spot openwashing,” which will empower our field to collectively identify and challenge the ways that publishers use the language of Open to mobilize openwashing practices. These skills are becoming increasingly necessary for librarians as for-profit publishers develop new, costly agreements to appeal to the rising interest and requirements for Open Access.
