  LibraryThing and Goodreads, as information-centric online communities and social digital libraries, help establish community and organizational structure; support sharing of information values; and facilitate the building and maintenance of social ties. Translation of meanings and understandings within and between communities is a key activity in these roles.

  Examined the data sharing practices of the earthquake engineering community, identifying 29 data sharing factors categorized into five groups. Requirements from funding agencies and academic genealogy were frequent impacts; researchers were uncertain around data ownership. We provide suggestions for funding agencies, research institutions, data repositories, and other stakeholders.

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 66(2), 246-263. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.23177

  Based on a survey of members of the condensed matter physics (CMP) community around the National High Field Magnetic Laboratory (partially NSF-funded), developed models of CMP research project tasks and data quality perceptions by CMP scientists and analyzed relationships among CMP scientists’ data quality perceptions, project roles, and demographic characteristics.

• Worrall, A., & Oh, S. (2013). The place of health information and socio-emotional support in social questioning and answering. Information Research, 18(3). http://informationr.net/ir/18-3/paper587.html

  Explored the socio-emotional reactions of, advice given by, and evaluation criteria used by librarians, nurses, and users evaluating the quality of health answers posted on Yahoo! Answers. Users value social and emotional support and are more accepting than experts of the subjectivity of social Q&A sites. Both objective and subjective seeking and evaluation strategies are necessary.

  Investigated how librarians, nurses, and users evaluated the quality of health answers posted on Yahoo! Answers. Statistical analysis identified differences between the groups, how background characteristics influenced assessments, and relationships between content characteristics and quality evaluation criteria, with implications for research and practice.

• Worrall, A., Ballantyne, E., & Kendall, J. (2019). “You don’t feel that you’re so far away”: Information sharing, technology use, and settlement of international student immigrants. In C. Blake & C. Brown (Eds.), Proceedings of the 82nd ASIS&T Annual Meeting: Information... anyone, anywhere, any time, any way, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, October 19-23, 2019. Association for Information Science and Technology.

  International students’ ICT use and information sharing shares similarities and differences with other students and immigrants. We identified a set of settlement barriers and helps associated with ICTs; and clear roles for ICTs in supporting the informational, social, and emotional needs of international students. Implications for LIS research and practice through informational, sociotechnical, and emotional lenses are shared.

Mai, Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Social Media and Society (SMSociety19), Toronto, ON, July 19-21, 2019.

  From over 7,700 tweets reacting to President Donald Trump's proposed birthright citizenship ban, analyzed using sentiment and network analysis, we found those who supported the ban were more likely to use offensive language and share media, while opponents were more likely to retweet, and identified multiple communities of discourse.

• Worrall, A., Cappello, A., & Osolen, R. (2018). Balancing socio-emotional and informational considerations in social Q&A: The case of Academia Stack Exchange. In A. Shiri, S. Farnel, & S.

Canada: CAIS/ACSI. Retrieved from https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/ojs.cais-acsi.ca/index.php/cais-asci/article/download/995/888

  In examining the balance between socio-emotional and informational support on social Q&A sites, we found seven categories of socio-emotional motivations contributing positively or negatively to community coherence on Academia Stack Exchange. The site focuses on being an information resource and on acculturation, learning, and translation, akin to legitimate peripheral participation, but empathetic concerns stress the necessity of further balancing socio-emotional and informational considerations for Stack Exchange, social Q&A sites, and other online / social media communities.

  Presented select findings on the significant roles that LibraryThing and Goodreads play in the existing and emergent communities of their users. A willingness to negotiate and translate around differences in information values allowed for continued community existence and emergence and for common ground to be established. Similar to maintaining "a real friendship," these processes are often invisible work.

  Presented select findings from content analysis of messages posted by users of LibraryThing and Goodreads, using a framework of Star’s boundary object theory, Strauss’s social worlds perspective, and Burnett and Jaeger’s theory of information worlds. Three different types of community convergence were seen around values, structure, and social networks.

  Investigated and compared perceptions and evaluations regarding the quality of online health answers shared in the social context of Yahoo! Answers across three groups: users, librarians, and nurses. Findings indicated librarians and nurses rated the quality of answers lower on most of the evaluation criteria than users.

Mai (Chairs), Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Social Media and Society (SMSociety17), Toronto, ON, July 28-30, 2017. New York, NY: ACM. [View poster]

  Presents in-progress research on the social and emotional factors that motivate users to ask questions, answer questions, and share information with other users on Academia Stack Exchange. Findings indicate a stronger role for norms, communality, and self-efficacy than in previous work, along with greater negativity and a concerning lack of empathy. Users display a stronger focus on socio-informational components and learning more about academic communities’ norms, culture, social perceptions, and reputation practices, similar to legitimate peripheral participation.

  Presents in-progress research on how the ICTs used by expat and immigrant members of Twitter interact with the information values of community members. Findings show information value determination and negotiation are important for immigrants and expats online, with cultural, contextual, and economic values being most frequently invoked both explicitly and implicitly. A strong role for boundaries and some establishment of common ground was observed, but further exploration is necessary.

  Reports key implications for engagement and motivation in online communities drawn from my research on LibraryThing and Goodreads, including to highlight and facilitate the creation and sharing of translation processes and resources; make clear expressions of and continually negotiate community norms, values, and normative behaviours; and support and facilitate—but not force—social tie formation and everyday life information behaviour.

Findings show they play important roles in establishing community structure, values, and ties; digital library designs and services should support these. Implications exist for research and theory in social informatics, information behaviour, and online communities.

  Focused on the socio-emotional reactions of and evaluation criteria discussed by three groups of evaluators—librarians, nurses, and site users—in evaluating the quality of online health answers shared in the social context of Yahoo! Answers. Findings illuminate key differences in social and emotional factors across the three groups and need for appropriate balance in educational efforts for evaluation of and the provision of health information.

  Presented findings from an in-progress study of the perceptions of the quality of online health answers, as judged by health reference librarians and Yahoo! Answers questioners. Forty evaluators from each group reviewed ten answers each on ten evaluation criteria; we found that librarians’ quantitative ratings were significantly lower on most criteria.
