SUMMARY:Silencing Science: Attempts to Curb Federal Employees’ Communication With the Public
DESCRIPTION:In January\, officials at the EPA and the USDA received memos barring them from releasing information to the public or using their social media accounts to disperse factual knowledge. This type of action choreographed by the new administration has caused a ripple effect\, leaving federal scientists uncertain about their rights and abilities to communicate. These career civil servants are often at the forefront of science and provide key policy input. \nIn this webinar\, these and other actions will be discussed within a larger historical and legal context. Responses to these actions\, the role of social media\, and further fallout from these actions will also be analyzed. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nPresenters\nShannon M. Oltmann\nShannon M. Oltmann is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Science at the University of Kentucky. Her research interests include censorship\, intellectual freedom\, information policy\, public libraries\, privacy\, and qualitative research methods. She has presented her research at academic conferences such as the Information Ethics Roundtable\, the Annual Conference of the Association for Information Science & Technology\, the iConference\, and the International Congress on Qualitative Inquiry. Her work has been published in the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology\, Library Quarterly\, Public Libraries Quarterly\, Collection Management\, Libri\, and Science and Engineering Ethics. \nA.J. Million\nA.J. Million is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Missouri. His research focuses on e-government\, libraries\, public administration\, and emerging technologies. Taking a cue from John Dewey’s characterization of democracy as a way of life\, he believes social ills can be addressed by ensuring information is managed by public organizations so citizens can use it to solve shared problems.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Taxonomy Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Author of The Accidental Taxonomist!\nWith the growth of electronic content\, taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems are increasingly used to support content and information management and retrieval. Implementations include published literature retrieval databases\, digital library collections\, digital archives\, knowledge repositories\, enterprise content and document management\, and intranet and website navigation and search. \nLibrarians\, archivists\, content managers\, digital asset managers\, records managers\, information architects\, knowledge managers\, information technologists\, and subject-matter-experts all may find themselves at some point performing the role of an accidental taxonomist.  Recognizing this\, Heather Hedden\, an experienced taxonomist for both literature retrieval and enterprise taxonomies\, wrote the book The Accidental Taxonomist in 2010\, as a practical guide for those getting into taxonomy work. The book’s success led to a thoroughly revised second edition\, which was published in 2016. \nThe webinar\, “Taxonomy Fundamentals\,” touches on the basics of practical taxonomy and thesaurus design and other issues that are the core chapters of the book. The webinar outline comprises: (1) definitions and types taxonomies and other kinds of knowledge organization systems\, (2) applications and uses\, (3) the issue of developing vs. licensing a vocabulary\, (4) controlled vocabulary and thesaurus standards and guidelines\, (5) terms and their variants\, (6) and relationship between terms. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nFree to ASIS&T members.

SUMMARY:The Role of Information Scholars and Professionals in Responding to Fake News\, Misinformation\, and Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:In an era where fake news\, misinformation\, and propaganda are circulated rapidly via social media and destabilize traditional expertise and authority\, information scholars and professionals are called upon to respond. We must engage in the public conversation about misinformation and its effects\, and support those working to counteract it. Moreover\, we need to educate future information professionals who can engage in these conversations and who can help others develop digital literacy skills. Perhaps now more than ever\, digital literacy matters\, not just as a skill set to enable citizens to analyze and evaluate the information they encounter; it is critical to many important social phenomena\, including positive health outcomes (of particular importance when so much health information is now obtained online)\, workforce development\, and participative governance. Increasingly\, governments are delivering information and services only online\, which requires citizens to be digitally literate in order to access that information. \nDigital literacy is also recognized as an essential competency for job performance\, since information gathering\, manipulation\, and application are key work tasks. In light of the relevance and urgency of digital literacy\, this webinar will explore ways we can educate information professionals to empower citizens to become discerning information consumers\, and will explore the many challenges to the digital literacy agenda. \nWebinar sponsored by SIG ED: https://www.asist.org/SIG/SIGED/ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nPresenter\nHeidi Julien\nHeidi Julien is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Library & Information Studies at the University at Buffalo. She is the former director at the School of Library & Information Studies\, University of Alabama. She has taught at the University of Alberta and Dalhousie University in Canada\, and Victoria University of Wellington\, New Zealand. Her research and teaching interests focus on digital literacy and information behavior. She has served as editor of the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science\, and on the editorial board of Library & Information Science Research; currently she serves on the editorial board for Cosmopolitan Civil Societies: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Dr. Julien is active in the Association for Information Science & Technology where she has served as chair of SIG USE\, and she is President-Elect of the Association for Library & Information Science Education. \nFree to ASIS&T members.
