Other Readings Related to Social Informatics

From GSLISWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This list was started on Ingbert's Social Informatics Field Exam Reading List Worksheet and now exists here so that people can add to it, refine it, edit it, annotate it, etc.

The readings on this page are all over the place. No effort has been made to organize them well, and they range from the important to the idiosyncratic, but all jumbled together.

For people who are using this list to take their field exam, here is an explanation of the codes:

  • SI-F means that the reading has appeared on a previous social informatics field exam reading list.
  • C means that the reading has appeared on the old core reading list
  • SI-S means that the reading has appeared on the syllabus for the seminar in social informatics.
    • SI-S1 means that the reading appeared on the syllabus of the first seminar in social informatics.
  • The abbreviations for the different fields for the field exam are as follows. It should be noted that this list is constantly changing, and that faculty typically do not bother to tell us when the list changes.
    1. H = History of Libraries and of Library/Information Science
    2. SI = Social Informatics
    3. UU = Uses and Users of Information
    4. CLY = Children's Literature and Youth Services
    5. IOA = Information Organization and Access
    6. IP = Information Policy
    7. ISR = Information Storage and Retrieval

    • Inferential Knowledge
    • Knowledge from authority/athoritative sources
    • Experiential Knowledge

[edit] Observational/Synthetic Theories and Theorizing

This section is not very well organized. It also overlaps with the Social Shaping of Technology section, and there are likely some repeated readings. Given that most of these readings are not from my area of focus within Social Informatics, I'm leaving the organizational work up to someone else, who is better suited to the task.
