Abstract: Dear readers,Welcome to volume 43, issue 3 of the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science (CJILS). The stress and anxiety around COVID-19 have affected us all and I hope that you and yours are doing well through these times.From the journal side of things, the pandemic has played a significant role in delaying so much scholarship, hence the tardiness of this issue. Even with the delays, I’m proud to bring this issue to fruition as it showcases a variety of scholarship from across Canada. The research here comes from three different provinces and four different library and information science programs. Along with a diversity of location, these authors present a wide variety of scholarship.The topics here ... Read More PubDate: 2021-02-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has provided some clear examples of the importance of selecting and using appropriate terminology. For instance, in the early days of the pandemic, the term “coronavirus” was widely used to describe the virus causing the illness; however, this was inaccurate since coronavirus refers to a family of viruses—a broader term—and the virus causing the illness needed to be described using a narrower term. In an attempt to provide a designation that more accurately describes the virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) suggested the interim term “2019-nCoV” (for 2019 novel coronavirus). While that term might work for scientists, the media and average people found it to be something of ... Read More PubDate: 2021-02-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: De nos jours, l’engouement du numérique a modifié les procédés de la fabrique des activités culturelles. Les institutions de mémoire, dont les milieux archivistiques, songent à tirer parti des technologies de l’information (TI) afin de repenser leurs relations avec leurs clientèles citoyennes. Ces dernières sont plus aptes à participer aux activités de description et de valorisation des collections patrimoniales, grâce à des modalités d’interaction numérique. Cette situation traduit l’évolution de la pratique de l’archive vers une voie dite participative.L’archive participative résulte de l’influence du postmodernisme qui prône le rôle de l’usager comme acteur actif dans la valorisation des archives (Eveleigh 2012 ...

Abstract: A recent study on waste management commissioned by the World Bank estimated that by 2050 waste generation will drastically outpace population growth by more than double. In 2016, the world generated 242 million tonnes of plastic waste, and global consumption of plastics continues to increase (World Bank 2018). Zero waste (ZW) as an overarching principle is defined as “the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of all products, packaging, and materials, without burning them, and without discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health” (Zero Waste International Alliance, n.d.). The concept of zero waste was developed ... Read More PubDate: 2021-02-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: With 527 different languages, Nigeria has the third highest number of spoken languages in any country (Eberhard, Simons, and Fennig 2019). However, most of the languages are spoken by a very small proportion of the country’s population, and four of these languages—Hausa/Fulani (29%), Yoruba (21%), Igbo (18%), and Ijaw (10%)—are spoken by about 78% of Nigeria’s population (Central Intelligence Agency 2019). Most Nigerians are “bilingual by English”—that is, in addition to the Indigenous languages, native Nigerians try to learn English, which was the colonial language, lingua franca, and perceived as the language of the formally educated (Adedun and Shodipe 2011; Rehbein 2015). The development of Nigeria’s native ... Read More PubDate: 2021-02-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Immigrants need information for their settlement in a new country. Timely, need-based information provision can support their integration and social inclusion into a new society (Caidi and Allard 2005; Caidi, Allard, and Quirke 2010; Esses and Medianu 2012). On the other hand, the lack of critical, timely information may lead to depression and social isolation (Shuva 2015). Studies such as Allard (2015), Khoir (2016), and Shuva (2020a) show that immigrants require various information in pre- and post-arrival contexts and utilize many information sources, including interpersonal networks of friends and family, and various Internet-based information sources such as Google, online forums, and blogs. Recent studies ... Read More PubDate: 2021-02-11T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: The heterogeneous materials and multicultural user groups represented in the cultural heritage field pose a unique challenge for both the design and evaluation of information systems (Petras, Stiller, and Gäde 2013). Evaluation of cultural heritage digital libraries (CHDLs) typically falls under the system-centric or user-centric perspective, and these varying approaches bring to light the features and challenges associated with different evaluative techniques (Petras, Stiller, and Gäde 2013). While not specific to the cultural heritage field, Saracevic (2004) identified seven approaches to digital library (DL) evaluation, all addressing different components or goals: systems-centred, human-centred ...
