This document discusses how a librarian's perceptions and biases can affect reference interviews. It explores how a librarian's worldview and that of the patron can impact the interaction. Research shows librarians may exhibit biases related to linguistic differences, closed stacks policies, and virtual reference services. The document also examines predictable gender differences in how men and women meet their information needs and cultural shifts that have occurred in library communities with high Mexican immigrant populations, such as adjustments to collections, programming, staffing, and communication.
This document discusses racial identity and literature. It covers topics like the history of racism against black Americans and Native Americans, how data on race has been collected, and important laws and events. The document recommends using literature to help students from these groups explore their ethnic identity. It proposes having writing contests, visits from authors, and trips to libraries to hear stories. The goal is to provide more opportunities for black American and Native American students to engage with education and consider career options like writing.

Using focused ethnography to understand brokering practices among internation...Sherrie Lee
Brokering practices are help-seeking interactions that bridge gaps in the seekers' knowledge and understanding of new cultural practices thus enabling them to access resources they would find difficult to do so on their own. For EAL (English as an Additional Language) students, these help-seeking interactions may involve getting others to translate, interpret or explain particular aspects of the host academic environment. In this research, focused ethnography (Knoblauch 2005) is used to investigate the nature of brokering practices among ten international EAL tertiary students during their initial academic semester of fifteen weeks. Focused ethnography specifically addresses constraints in the research context (e.g. time and access to informants), as well as capitalizes on technological tools such as digital recording devices. In seeking to understand brokering interactions and relationships students have with their brokers, conventional ethnographic methods were adapted, for example, digital ethnographic methods (Pink et al. 2015) were used instead of participant observation. Digital ethnographic methods allows a large amount of data to be recorded and reviewed, a feature of focused ethnography known as data intensity. While this form of intensity has been argued to compensate for a short period of research activity, this research suggests that another form of intensity – relational intensity – is just as important in addressing research constraints. Relational intensity refers to the researcher's ongoing responsiveness to the needs of research participants. The paper concludes that future focused ethnographic research should consider both data-related and relational forms of intensity in addressing research constraints.

This document outlines the agenda for a symposium on researching multilingually. It discusses key issues such as negotiating meanings across languages and cultures, the role of interpreters, challenges of representation and translation, and assumptions made in mainstream research methods texts. Specific examples are provided, including a 1946 study by David Boder who conducted Holocaust survivor interviews in 9 languages, and issues of power dynamics, reflexivity and ethics in multilingual research. The document maps how different disciplines approach and represent multilingual research and provides guidance for newcomers to the field from research methods textbooks.
The document discusses research into the information seeking behaviors of scholarly biographers versus popular biographers. It reviews previous literature that found biographers use a wide variety of resources, including archives, manuscripts, books and websites. The study aims to understand if biographers' methods differ based on whether they intend to publish academically or popularly. Surveys and interviews were conducted, finding that both groups are motivated to publish, but scholarly biographers engage more with other researchers while popular biographers focus on book publications.
This document summarizes the key aspects of sociolinguistic research on language variation and social class. It discusses how social class can influence language use through sociolects. It describes William Labov's seminal study in New York City that correlated non-prevocalic /r/ usage with social class. The study found higher /r/ usage among higher social classes. It also outlines the typical stages of quantitative sociolinguistic research pioneered by Labov, including selecting variables, collecting speech samples, identifying linguistic variables, processing data, and interpreting results.
This document summarizes a research article about socioemotional issues among gifted Filipino children. The research involved interviews with 22 gifted Filipino children aged 4-9 years old and their parents. Manifestations of perfectionism, hypersensitivities, and overexcitabilities were evident among the gifted Filipino children, similar to traits seen in Western gifted populations. However, more research is needed on the socioemotional realities of gifted children from non-Western cultures.

Language and Culture in Intercultural CommunicationEric H. Roth
This document summarizes a presentation on language and culture in intercultural communication. It discusses how language is tied to culture and gives examples of differences in individualism vs collectivism. It also outlines resources from the American Language Institute, including conversation groups, workshops, and one-on-one tutoring to help international students improve their English skills. Tips are provided on participating effectively in classroom discussions while being mindful of cultural differences.
The document discusses the lack of diversity in the field of librarianship and proposes solutions to decolonize the profession. It notes that while people of color make up a large portion of library users, they are significantly underrepresented among librarians. Several barriers to diversity are explored, including institutionalized racism and white normativity within the field. The document proposes solutions such as recognizing non-MLS experience, expanding career ladders for current minority staff, and focusing on retention rather than just recruitment to make meaningful strides toward an intersectional, decolonized profession.
ABSTRACT:By analyzing the previous literature, this paper looks into the salient features of women’s
language from the perspective of sociolinguistics. It is find that women are not necessarily using more lexicon
of colors, particles, intensifiers, hedges, or more tag questions, polite forms, phatic stress, etc. What they
actually do has to be analyzed with a mixed factors like social position, topic, relationship with the interlocutor,
her personality, the particular occasion, etc; Women are not necessarily less dominant or with less power in the
interaction with men. Social position and the specific context are two other major elements impacting on their
linguistic performance; Both theoretical and empirical methods are applicable to studying women’s language,
and research design should be attached great importance to, involving the two groups of moderators,
methodological moderators and contextual moderators. Based on the findings, future study on women’s
language can be further contextualized and further categorized. For instance, when looking into women’s talk in
court, we should specify her position. We may further compare women’s different uses of language between
judge, prosecution attorney, defence attorney, jury, or defendant in different cases such as finance, divorce,
criminal offence, or others.

A Right to Our Voice: Linguistic Human Rights and Peace EducationCheryl Woelk
This presentation is based on a workshop highlighting language as an often overlooked aspect of human rights. Participants explored the concept of linguistic human rights, which relate to the freedom to choose one's language of communication in private and public settings without discrimination. Peace education has a unique perspective that can contribute to addressing issues of linguistic discrimination, linguicism, language oppression and power dynamics, and the loss of heritage languages. Participants discussed ways in which educators can engage language learners through peace perspectives, such as valuing multilingual and multicultural voices, applying peace linguistics and sociolinguistics knowledge, building healthy communication skills in multiple languages, leveraging use of dominant languages for justice and peacemaking, bridging language communities, and gathering insights on peace and conflict from various linguistic and cultural heritages.
Abstract: Identity means to display ourselves how we want others to perceive us. How people construct their identities has been an important concern. Because, identity is an important mode of lifestyle. Language has been in close relationship with identity. Role of language in maintenance of identity has been obvious in many renowned works. The Present study investigated the role of language in constructing ethnic identity and data interpretation revealed the need and importance of language for maintenance of identity.

Labov's studies of dialects in Martha's Vineyard and New York City in the 1960s are more popular than other regional dialect studies for several reasons. Labov did not separate language from its social context, making his data more authentic and valid. He used quantitative methods like charts and graphs to show linguistic variation according to social factors like class. This challenged views that lower class speakers were linguistically deficient. Labov's conversational analysis approach studied natural language use and found it varied between social contexts, influencing the rise of sociolinguistics. His field research methodology made language study more authentic.

This document discusses the importance of teaching culture as part of language learning. It provides background on the historical debate around incorporating culture in language teaching. Several experts are cited arguing that language and culture are intrinsically linked, and that fully understanding a language requires understanding the cultural contexts and perspectives of its speakers. The document also summarizes several benefits of teaching culture according to experts, such as motivating students and helping them communicate more effectively with native speakers.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.

Library response to Mexican immigrants
Editor's Notes
Deeper diver – can’t do that today. Too much info to be comprehensive in 5 minutes
We are going to skim the surface (like top diver) and only focus on the findings of a handful of studies per question
Hopefully, with less information, you’ll remember more.
PASS OUT SLIDE HANDOUTS – As we go, use these to write down 3 things that interest you and applications to LIS to discuss at end
Due to overwhelming number of studies on international students…
My focus = reference interviews in (higher ed) academic setting
Takeaway = If there is unawareness of the worldviews of your patrons, there could be problems.
Studies focus = Academic libraries & international students
- interviews/focus groups with international students about their information needs and their interactions with ref. librarians in academic libraries. Similar study by Liu.
Different worldviews
- Librarian = Assumptions that people know how to use the library, how it’s set up
- Patron = Unfamiliarity with U.S. library missions and organization. Library systems are not set up the same way.
- Very few publicly supported, open-to-the-public libraries
- Closed stacks (lends itself as a study hall vs. place for research)
- Reference assistance is not common or not available to students
- Respect for age and authority (may inhibit questions)
- Limited access to databases
- Western classification systems are very different (arranged logically to us, but not to them)
- (Pacific: Japan and China excluded): Books not primary source of information.
- Students from Asian countries (vs. those from Western Europe) face more communication problems and more differences between the educational and library systems.
If expectation of the librarian is biased or uninformed, makes it even HARDER for that patron to succeed during the reference interview.

Hall gives us two examples of what he calls “linguistic bigotry” in his paper on intercultural communication:
#1 – For many Americans, bias against black English shapes the way we relate with people
#2 – Cites a study that shows a strong bias against Spanish accents
Doesn’t have to be a “foreigner”; could be someone in your backyard
In 2002, Shachaf & Horowitz conducted a study called “Are Virtual Reference Services Color Blind?”
Primary research question: Are virtual reference services providing unbiased services to diverse user groups?
Solicited 23 participant libraries from Assoc. of Research Libraries (ARL) during the summer of 2005 for their unobtrusive study (similar to unobtrustive reference test in 1986 that prompted the 55% rule).
Pass out handout:
Each week for six weeks, a different question was received at the reference service of an institution from a different user.
Note: Answers to all questions were available to each reference librarian in the study.
Content analysis of 138 email transactions
Revealed differences in the quality of service that virtual reference libs provide to various user groups.
Best level of service? Caucasian (Mary Anderson-Christian, Moshe Cohen-Jews)
Worst level of service? African American (Latoya Johnson) and Arab (Ahmed Ibrahim)
Not unprecedented: Article likened it to studies from pre-civil rights act era where formal written requests for service were found to be rejected more often than in-person requests by minorities.
Librarians responding virtually more likely to be less self-aware and less likely to monitor their behavior than during in-person reference interactions (whether intentionally or not). Service is more unregulated than other services.

Exploratory study during fall trimester of 1994 of 103 high-school students (male=54%, female=46%)
Used a triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods.
Examined process survey, teacher’s assessment of the student participants, and student journals/written responses to specific prompts.
Primary Research Question: How do males and females experience the Information Search Process? Are their information-seeking actions, thoughts, and feelings the same?
Two studies on information behavior in the online environment.
Lorigo’s article: “The influence of task and gender on search and evaluation behavior using Google”
Google Study:
Navigational tasks (specific web page – SLIM)
Informational tasks (topical – i.e., cancer)
Transactional tasks (action – i.e., online purchase)
Eye-tracking study of 14 males and 9 females
400 queries and 600 Google results pages
Given navigational and informational tasks
2 minutes to respond
Liu’s article: “Gender difference in the online reading environment”
Zhongshan University in China:
Undergrads (50%) / Grads (50%) = male (40%), female (60%)
Self-reported survey about their experiences with online and offline reading
Survey Purpose: How do male readers and female readers differ in the preference for reading media and in the overall satisfaction with online reading?
Men pay significantly more attention to results 6-10.
Significant, since search engine ranking can produce nearly equivalent weights for the top 5-10 ranked results.
Men pay significantly more attention to results 6-10.
Significant, since search engine ranking can produce nearly equivalent weights for the top 5-10 ranked results.
Search Terms & Combinations
EX: - Middle Eastern students may not respect or believe the advice of a female librarian
- Those from stratified societies may view the librarian as inferior – may insist on speaking to a higher authority
- Those from privileged backgrounds may be used to having other people do the running for them and expect librarians to do the same.
Again, self-sufficiency in the library may be an alien concept to international students
Widening their collections
Offering reference materials in foreign languages
Collection:
EX: At Pasco Public Library in Washington (state), once was common for Spanish-lang. materials to sit on shelves and take over two years to be processed and in circulation
EX: Queen’s Public Library rotate foreign-language titles for test-drivers
EX: Friends from the Other Side/Amigos del otro lado by G. Anzaldúa, DeLaurie’s comment “Those of us who are second, third, fourth, fifth generation, etc., should learn to be tolerant of those who came from the very same roots we did.”
EX: F-L Ref materials = need to have knowledge staff members select them
EX: Problem with catalog systems, because while interface is in Spanish, the subject headings are all in English
Also, when type in “perros” for “dogs,” only results in Spanish are retrieved, not ALL info on “dogs”
Programming:
EX: Appointing Community Liaisons or Hispanic/Latino Services Associate
