Abstract: This collection of essays is to honor Linda C. Smith, widely recognized as a well-established and dedicated teacher and scholar at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the soul of the iSchool. Smith's contributions to library and information science (LIS) research, teaching, and higher education administration, as an award-winning professor of LIS for the past forty-five years, have been characterized by attention to interdisciplinarity, people, and information technology. From the very beginning of her graduate studies, Smith targeted key aspects of the information revolution that would come to shape our technological world. Her impact on education for the information professions as well as on ... Read More PubDate: 2023-05-20T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In June 1972, professor emerita Linda C. Smith graduated with a master of science (MS) degree in library science from the Graduate School of Library Science University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This was after completing a four-year bachelor of science (BS), summa cum laude, in physics and mathematics from Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania. Between 1967 and 1972, foundations were laid for a career that brought together a love of learning with a discipline for systematic problem solving that mathematics and physics require. Already equipped with motivation and a facility for creative thinking, a subsequent certificate in systems and data processing from Washington University (1974) and an MS in ...

Abstract: Is "accreditation" a word that is meaningful to you' Given that this journal, Library Trends, has an audience that includes scholars of and students in library and related fields, the answer is probably "yes." I chose, or I graduated from, an accredited LIS program; I teach in an accredited program; my organization hires people with the stipulation that they be graduates of an accredited program. Those who are from related fields or in related organizations also may be familiar with accreditation or similar processes: in health, the Joint Commission; in international manufacturing, the International Organization for Standardization; and so on.This article locates the substance and process of library and information ...

Abstract: Library and information science (LIS) schools have offered courses in reference since 1890 (Richardson 1992). Discussions about what to teach in these courses, and how instructors should teach it, date back nearly as long, with both practicing librarians and LIS educators offering opinions on how library schools can best prepare graduates for real-world reference work (see, for example, Cheney 1963; Richardson 1992; Agosto et al. 2010; O'Connor 2010; Smith 2015; Condic 2016). Isadore Gilbert Mudge, reporting on the program at the University of Illinois in 1902, wrote,The purpose of the courses in elementary and advanced reference work . . . is to familiarize students with the general aims and methods of reference ...

Abstract: Prospero, toward the end of act V of Shakespeare's The Tempest, vows to drown his book. But in the unwritten act VI, his beloved daughter Miranda, fascinated by the brave new world she is discovering, will no doubt be trying to uncover her father's book from the fluid depths of the library. She will be doing this through practices that have been developed since Shakespeare's day, involving bibliographical searching.We talk with each other through messages, which become texts as they aspire to permanence. Texts are the standard coinage of our intellectual currency. Ideas are recorded in them. They need names. Following conventions for naming books (which have intellectual content and function as documentary ... Read More PubDate: 2023-05-20T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Congress enacted the Copyright Alternative in Small Claims Enforcement (CASE) Act of 2019 on December 27, 2020.1 The CASE Act is found in 17 U.S.C.A. §§ 1501-1511 (2022).The Copyright Claims Board (CCB), created as part of the legislation, was to begin operations one year after the date of enactment. This deadline could be extended "for good cause . . . by not more than 180 days if the Register of Copyrights provides notice of the extension to the public and to Congress."2 According to the United States Copyright Office, the CCB was to begin hearing claims in the spring of 2022, though this could "be extended to June 25, 2022, for good cause" (United States Copyright Office n.d.). This article discusses the impact ... Read More PubDate: 2023-05-20T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In computer science, a conceptual model describes the entities of interest in a particular domain of knowledge, along with the associated properties, usually expressed using a defined (e.g., entity-relationship, object-oriented) formalism.Conceptual models of library catalog records or metadata description sets are for the most part a twenty-first-century phenomenon. While the first formal modeling of bibliographic records—Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)—was undertaken during the last decade of the twentieth century, all the entities of interest in the domain, including authority data and subject authority data, were not modeled until the first decade of the twenty-first century. The first ... Read More PubDate: 2023-05-20T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Much of the progress in data infrastructure in the United States has been led by disciplinary initiatives to archive and share digital data and support the advancement of informatics and data science methods. The recent turn toward convergence research elevates an integrative, problem-focused approach to grand challenges and development of cyberinfrastructure to support interdisciplinary discovery and innovation. With the growing emphasis on cross-disciplinary research approaches, data professionals need to be prepared to support both disciplinary and interdisciplinary research practices and the interplay between the two. In library and information science (LIS) that expertise is grounded in foundational work on ... Read More PubDate: 2023-05-20T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In the past decade, both popular and academic discourse about machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have increased in volume and intensity.1 This increased attention stems in large part from the fact that ML systems increasingly intersect with and influence our daily lives, from recommendation and search engines to the virtual assistants in our homes and on our phones and even hiring and lending decisions. In particular, there has been a welcome surfeit of attention to the biases that underlie and shape the outputs of ML systems, though that attention has not always translated into action by the companies, institutions, and government agencies that employ those systems. In addition, scholars and ... Read More PubDate: 2023-05-20T00:00:00-05:00
