  • See Also... a Library Weblog by Steve Lawson
    What the world needs now is another library weblog like I need a hole in my head August 17, 2005 At least that's what I thought after reading over Walt Crawford's investigation of the "biblioblogosphere" in the September Cites & Insights (pdf link). I knew there were a lot of library weblogs--I subscribe to close to thirty in my RSS reader--but Crawford analyzed over 230 library-related blogs, and ran down sixty of the blogs with the widest reach (according to his interpretation of his data; if you'd like to interpret it yourself, he's made it available as an Excel spreadsheet). The likelihood of my adding something entirely new to that mix seems low. And yet, here we are. This is the first real post to my new library weblog, See Also. While I am obviously feeling a little self-conscious about adding my blog to those 230+ that are already out there, I'm also very excited about the idea of thinking, writing, and conversing about libraries, librarianship, and more. I have had other blogs in the past, but most of those were just my outboard brain, a parking place for URLs I didn't want to lose (now I just use del.icio.us). I made no attempt to build a readership, to communicate, to connect. But over the last year as I read more and more library weblogs as they hashed out Gormangate and tried to understand the implications of tags and folksonomies, I wanted to become part of the conversation. I left the occasional comment, but it seemed like I needed a home base if I was really going to take part.

  • Emergent Uses of Social Media in the 2007 Southern California Wildfires
    Backchannels on the Front Lines: Emergent Uses of Social Media in the 2007 Southern California Wildfires Jeannette Sutton1, Leysia Palen1 & Irina Shklovski2 University of Colorado, Boulder1 University of California, Irvine2 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Opportunities for participation by members of the public are expanding the information arena of disaster. Social media supports “backchannel” communications, allowing for wide-scale interaction that can be collectively resourceful, self-policing, and generative of information that is otherwise hard to obtain. Results from our study of information practices by members of the public during the October 2007 Southern California Wildfires suggest that community information resources and other backchannel communications activity enabled by social media are gaining prominence in the disaster arena, despite concern by officials about the legitimacy of information shared through such means. We argue that these emergent uses of social media are pre-cursors of broader future changes to the institutional and organizational arrangements of disaster response. Keywords Crisis Informatics, disaster, information and communication technology, wildfire INTRODUCTION Disaster situations are non-routine events that result in non-routine behaviors. In times of disaster, people and organizations adapt and improvise (Wachtendorf, 2004) to suit the conditions as needs demand. Even emergency response organizations—which are strongly organized around locally- and federally-mandated protocols—adapt to accommodate the situation particulars for warning, rescue, and recovery. Indeed, in the US, the organizational structure that is activated during times of crisis is designed to be internally flexible. However, its ability to be externally flexible when interfacing with the public is in doubt (Wenger, 1990; Buck, et al, 2006; Palen and Liu, 2007).

  • Educators' Perceptions of Uses, Constraints, and Successful
    Page 75 in education 16(1)Spring 2010 Educators’ Perceptions of Uses, Constraints, and Successful Practices of Backchanneling Cheri Toledo Illinois State Sharon Peters Hebrew Academy Abstract This qualitative study sought to explore participants’ perceptions of the impact of web-based backchanneling conversations in a variety of learning environments. Backchannels, forms of instant message conversations, take place during synchronous learning sessions. Online interviews with educators from Canada and the United States revealed their perceptions of the uses, constraints, and successful practices of backchanneling. Educators in the study saw backchanneling as a non-disruptive, non-subversive, collaborative activity that expanded participation and interactions; an approach applied with intentionality to enhance learning. Six themes emerged from the data: backchanneling for professional development and networking; backchanneling for engagement; constraints of backchanneling; changes in teacher and/or learner perspectives; examples of backchanneling in educational settings; and suggestions for successful backchanneling.

Originally perceived as an activity that was surreptitious, and possibly even subversive, it has become a common practice at conferences, meetings, and other presentation- type events. Web-based backchannels can be seen at educational technology events where they have shown to be valuable for educator professional development and growth.

  • Noticing Recipiency and Responding to Likes on Twitter
    “I SAW YOU LIKE THIS NOW I WANNA KNOW”: NOTICING RECIPIENCY AND RESPONDING TO LIKES ON TWITTER JOSHUA RACLAW, LAUREN DURANTE, OLIVIA MARQUARDT West Chester University In this paper, we focus on how interactants accomplish different forms of participation in the “one-to- many” context of social media interactions, where single users frequently have a wide audience of potential recipients to their posts. How do social media users ascertain who might be a relevant recipient to these posts, and how do other users who interact with these posts position themselves within a relevant participation framework? We explore these questions by examining how participants on Twitter orient to the act of “liking” a post as a resource for moving into the participation framework of the talk, and we show how this orientation allows likes to serve as possible pathways for launching new actions and activities. We examine these practices using the framework of conversation analysis (CA), showing how participants use public noticings of another user’s likes as a preface to, and justification for, a subsequent invitation sequence or complaint sequence. We additionally show how the specific media affordances of Twitter, which render likes publicly visible to others, facilitates the noticing of likes as a device for inciting new courses of action. Keywords: conversation analysis, social media, response practices, Twitter During face-to-face interaction, participants routinely display their recipiency to an ongoing turn at talk through a range of interactional practices that include minimal response tokens or backchannels (Goffman, 1981) and embodied resources such as eye gaze and head nods (Goodwin 1980; Stivers, 2008).
