“…Recent evidence suggests that cultural factors also play an essential role in information needs. The information acquisition of EMs will be significantly affected not only by their language but also by cultural factors in China (Zhu and Du, 2020). Traditional culture, lifestyles and ethnic identities may also influence their information-seeking behavior (Zhu and Liao, 2020, 2021).…”

“…As shown in Table 1, the interview outline was designed partly referencing to some related research (Zhu and Du, 2020;Wang et al, 2020a). Specifically, Zhu and Du (2020) explored the everyday information-seeking behavior of EMs in China that target the 28 EMs with small populations, who are nearly 0.1% of the total Chinese population. Some of the key questions in this study were associated with EMs' information needs, sources, difficulties and ethnic culture.…”

PurposeEthnic minorities (EMs), who make up a sizable proportion of multilingual users, are more likely to browse and search in their native language. It is helpful to identify multilingual users' information needs to provide public digital cultural services (PDCS) for making their life better.Design/methodology/approachThe in-context interview is an efficient way to explore EMs' information needs and evoke their daily experience with PDCS. The material from 31 one-on-one interviews with EMs in China was recorded and analyzed using thematic analysis.FindingsThe findings reveal that language proficiency is a critical factor influencing multilingual information access (MLIA) and multilingual users' information needs. Moreover, language ability, digital literacy and cultural literacy are important components of multilingual information literacy (MLIL), which is helpful for EMs to access PDCS. In light of Kochen's theory, the information needs of PDCS can be classified into the aroused need of resources, the recognized need of functions and services and expressed need. For the expressed need, it is necessary to develop a one-stop convergence platform of PDCS to process various requests of resources, functions and services in the future.Originality/valueThe findings will be valuable for governments, public institutions and social organizations in identifying, addressing and resolving these issues about PDCS.

“…The philosophy above means that it is not important for us for the person and the place of birth. This indicates that the spirit of mutual cooperation in the Bima tribe is still being preserved until now, especially the cooperation activities in marriage, circumcision and other activities (Zhu and Du 2020).…”

This research aimed to examine the alignment of local wisdom values with Islamic law in the tradition of the Peta kapanca ceremony in the Ambalawi sub-District. This study used a descriptive qualitative type with a phenomenological and sociological approach. The data collection method used observation, interviews, documentation, and a literature study. While the data analysis technique is descriptive and qualitative by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the Peta kapanca tradition at the wedding ceremony of the Bima tribal community in the Ambalawi sub-district contained local wisdom values in the form of faith values, brotherhood values, mutual help values, and patient values. The values of local wisdom in the Peta kapanca tradition align with Islamic law, namely, having values that do not conflict with Islamic teachings. This made local wisdom in the Peta kapanca tradition and Islamic teachings valuable as instruments in developing Islamic da'wah teachings. In addition, socio-culturally as a bulwark against the modern era in the form of globalization and liberalization due to the influence of outside culture, which is starting to erode.

“…Do the choices we make about our publications (conference vs journal, single‐ vs double‐ blind, prestige) affect who is represented? These are important questions particularly as our field begins to examine issues of geography (Chang, Gomes, & McKay, 2020; Oduntan & Ruthven, 2021; Zhu & Du, 2020), culture (Binsahl, Chang, & Bosua, 2020; Ma, 2019), gender and gendered experiences (Huttunen & Kortelainen, 2021; Levy & Schneier, 2020; Ruthven, Buchanan, & Jardine, 2018) in relation to information access and use. Ensuring diverse voices are represented among those doing science alongside those studied is not only an ethical good, it also results in more innovative and complete research (Haines, Rose, Odom, & Omland, 2020).…”

Publication is a vital part of the career of any researcher. There is an increasing awareness that the presented gender of authors can impact their acceptance at competitive venues, and also influence the support they receive to participate in conferences. Similarly, geography and the associated costs of travel to conferences also impact the likelihood a potential author will submit to a conference. Recent research has examined these impacts in the context of related disciplines within computing and considered the gender profile of reviewers and authors at the iConference. This paper examines the impact of gender and geography on the representation of authors in the ASIST Annual Meeting and the JASIST journal. Through an evaluation of the first authors of accepted papers or articles, we assess the relative representation of genders, and the degree to which conference location impedes or enables authors from different regions. Our findings provide a foundation for the information science community to work towards better representation of female and international authors.
