“…Ocepek’s (2018) recent investigation on grocery store shoppers’ IEs reflects the growing interest in the issues of embodied information , approached from the perspective of how the body ‘knows’ through the human senses (Cox et al, 2018). Grocery shoppers relied on their sight, taste, touch and smell while receiving and acquiring sensory information during the shopping process.…”

Drawing on pragmatist ideas proposed by John Dewey, the study elaborates the picture of information experience by examining how researchers have characterized the ways in which people receive, acquire and interpret sensory and cognitive-affective information. To this end, a conceptual analysis was conducted by concentrating on 43 studies pertinent to the topic. The findings indicate that so far, the construct of information experience has remained quite vague. This is mainly due to that experience - the fundamental constituent of information experience – has not been sufficiently reflected in the context of informational phenomena. Information experience studies have mainly contributed to information behaviour research by describing how people receive and acquire sensory information, while the picture of experiencing cognitive-affective information has remained quite vague. There are also gaps in studies examining how sensory and cognitive-affective information are interpreted as an integral part of information experience. The study also identifies topics of further research dealing with the elaboration of the construct of information experience.

“…Since its publication almost 20 years ago, progress has been made beyond the social realm and toward Bates' egalitarian conception. The biological level has had a surge of interest in “embodied information” (Lloyd, 2010; Lueg, 2015; 2014) and generated a special double issue of Library Trends on “Information and the Body” (Cox, Griffin & Hartel, 2018). Ground has been broken in the aesthetic realm by theorizing self‐portraits (Gorichanaz, 2018), and visual art as documents (Gorichanaz, 2017).…”

More than ever, Information Science needs a coherent, powerful, integrated vision of itself and the value proposition it delivers in this Information Age. Complex and multifaceted uncertainties like pandemics and climate change do not yield to narrow or piecemeal solutions. Holistic visions of Information Science existed at our field's formation a century ago, but sadly over the years have become increasingly fragmented and specialized. This 90‐minute panel invites participants in the ASIS&T 2020 Annual Meeting to reconsider the benefits of holism and creates a stage to re‐imagine a big and integrated Information Science. To that end, we will first adopt Bates' (2002) conception of seven interpenetrating “Layers of Understanding.” Then, information scientists with expertise in one of the seven layers will speak about the information phenomena at their level. Having the full range of strata illuminated, Dr. Marcia J. Bates will share her sage reflections. Ample time will remain for the audience to tinker with, extend, challenge, or celebrate the idea of a wide‐ranging, integrated Information Science.

“…8 Notable examples of workplace research in LIS that utilizes a practice theory approach include research on power company workers (Veinot 2007); firefighters (Lloyd 2007); ambulance workers (Lloyd 2009); renal nurses (Bonner and Lloyd 2011); and library staff engaged in digitization work (Lischer-Katz 2014b). Embodied knowledge and the role of the body is likely involved in all types of work, and information studies is seeing increasing interest in considering this type of knowledge in a variety of contexts (e.g., see Cox, Griffin, and Hartel 2018 and their special double issue of Library Trends that considers rethinking the role of the body in LIS research).…”

Reconsidering Technical Labor in Information Institutions: The Case of Analog Video Digitization

Technical labor is still typically made invisible in the functioning of academic libraries and other information institutions even as they begin to disseminate technical and craft knowledge through makerspaces and other sites of library innovation. This paper seeks to recover one type of technical labor, digitization, as information work that embodies mental and manual activities and is both materially and intellectually productive. This paper draws on findings from an empirical study conducted by the author from 2015-2017 that used qualitative-interpretive methods to study the discursive and material practices of professional media preservationists as they worked to digitize analog video recordings in small-scale, high-quality ("artisanal") digitization projects. One key finding of this research is that in order to produce "legitimate" digital copies within their institutional contexts, media preservationists must coordinate their physical and mental activities to develop understanding of the invisible electrical signals that carry the encoded video information, blending objective and subjective modalities of knowledge. These findings have implications for understanding how the invisible labor of digitization has significant mental as well as manual dimensions, contributing to ongoing debates in information studies and the digital humanities on the relationship between "doing" and "signifying" in terms of knowledge work.
