Fenn et al in 2019 stated that “Given that people tend to share interesting information to maintain social relationships or to manage their impressions, information that receives more likes may subsequently be shared more often” (Fenn, Ramsay, Kantner, Pezdek, & Abed, 2019, p.133) Recent studies also revealed that misinformation from politicians and celebrities has increased in recent years which lead to more engagement on Twitter (Brennen, et al. 2020 ). There has been a lot of misinformation pertaining to COVID-19 masks on Twitter. Due to the misinformation, many people might not believe in the effectiveness of masks. Even though studies have shown the effectiveness of wearing masks in different countries (Lyu and Wehby, 2020). Not wearing masks affects people's health and indirectly increases the spread of COVID-19. Studies of social noise and misinformation cases on social media are needed, specifically focusing on how social noise influences and contributes to the spread of misleading and possibly harmful messages.</p>Determining Event Durations: Models and Error Analysis2018-06-15T22:41:44-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1164522/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1164522/"><img alt="Determining Event Durations: Models and Error Analysis" title="Determining Event Durations: Models and Error Analysis" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1164522/small/"/></a></p><p>This paper presents models to predict event durations.</p>Developing an Alternative Approach for Interoperability Testing of Library Z39.50 Servers2012-11-02T13:21:42-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc111279/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc111279/"><img alt="Developing an Alternative Approach for Interoperability Testing of Library Z39.50 Servers" title="Developing an Alternative Approach for Interoperability Testing of Library Z39.50 Servers" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc111279/small/"/></a></p><p>Paper describing a plan of work to develop and test an alternative approach for interoperability testing.

Knowledge management (KM) in institutions is essentially based on an understanding of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. At Tarrant County College, we are currently developing a District-wide knowledge management (KM) program. This KM process is implemented via micro pilot projects and processes; and an analysis of current technology, structure, and culture. We carefully try to anticipate
challenges we will encounter as the project is executed (geographical distance during a pandemic, cultural barriers, dealing with tacit knowledge…). Next, we carefully begin to create a road map for the KM process including: Establishing objectives, preparing culture change, creating a high-level process, identifying KM/communication/knowledge dissemination gaps, selecting appropriate technology, and deciphering the current status of KM throughout the District. Then, we attempt to implement our KM process via micro pilot projects. We will soon develop methods for evaluating our KM workflow. Our initial results suggest Laserfiche might be able to host 70% of or data and information, however other tools such as ITSM, Microsoft TEAMS, Team Dynamics… will also be needed to host data and information.</p>Digital Curation in the Academic Library Job Market2012-11-30T09:15:12-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc122170/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc122170/"><img alt="Digital Curation in the Academic Library Job Market" title="Digital Curation in the Academic Library Job Market" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc122170/small/"/></a></p><p>Paper for the 2012 American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Annual Meeting.

Uncontrolled consumption of the internet leads to information overload that impact productivity and workplace performance (Griffiths, 2010). In such cases, the ubiquitous availability of information can lead to IT-related stress where users derive a reduced sense of satisfaction (Diomidous et al. 2016). People who frequently access the internet can experience various issues, which encompass anxiety, depression, and self-image challenges. Physically, affected individuals experience disrupted sleep patterns, irritability and high levels of fatigue. Social networking sites increase the risk of addiction and online dependency, aspects associated with low levels of productivity (Hoq, 2014). As illustrated in fig 1, the paper hypothesizes that there is a direct relationship between information overload and workplace performance and job satisfaction. The assumption is that cyber addiction worsens the problem of information overload, which in return, impacts information behavior and use and workplace/job performance (Riaz & Qureshi, 2019). The study addresses the following research questions: What is the impact of cyber addiction on workplace performance? What are the relationships between cyber addiction, information workload and information behavior and use? The findings indicate cyber addiction adversely affects job performance and significantly correlates with the concept of information overload and information behavior and use. Prominent issues among a majority of users include poor prioritization and planning, as employees often opt for non-essential functions at the expense of critical ones.</p>Improving Z39.50 Interoperability: Z39.50 Profiles and Testbeds for Library Applications2011-06-07T08:36:49-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36283/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36283/"><img alt="Improving Z39.50 Interoperability: Z39.50 Profiles and Testbeds for Library Applications" title="Improving Z39.50 Interoperability: Z39.50 Profiles and Testbeds for Library Applications" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36283/small/"/></a></p><p>An operating assumption for the networked environment is that many different information systems need to interoperate for users to successfully discover and retrieve distributed resources. Meaningful interoperability is often elusive. In the library community, the Z39.50 standard protocol (ISO 23950/ANSI/NISO Z39.50) for information retrieval promised seamless and transparent networked access to library resources. Too often, the reality has not lived up to the promise. This paper discusses two efforts that offer solution paths to Z39.50 interoperability.</p>Information Overload & Its Effect on High School Students2018-12-19T12:07:19-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1393764/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1393764/"><img alt="Information Overload & Its Effect on High School Students" title="Information Overload & Its Effect on High School Students" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1393764/small/"/></a></p><p>This paper studies how high school students experience information overload, as well as their specific physical, emotional, and mental reactions.</p>Information Representation and Knowledge Organization in Cultural Heritage Organizations in Arab Gulf Counties: A case study of Alqabas Archive2021-06-15T12:15:16-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1813461/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1813461/"><img alt="Information Representation and Knowledge Organization in Cultural Heritage Organizations in Arab Gulf Counties: A case study of Alqabas Archive" title="Information Representation and Knowledge Organization in Cultural Heritage Organizations in Arab Gulf Counties: A case study of Alqabas Archive" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1813461/small/"/></a></p><p>The goal of this study is to explore how information is currently organized in digital cultural heritage collections in Arabian Gulf countries. it focused on Alqabas – a Kuwaiti institution with a strong reputation of early adopter of digital archiving and developer of major digital collections in Arab Gulf counties, accumulated experience in knowledge management. The mixed-methods study combined semi-structured interview of the Alqabas archive manager and in-depth content analysis of a sample of metadata records that represent items in Alqabas digital collections for accuracy, completeness, consistency, use of knowledge organization systems. The study reveals high metadata quality overall but lack of consistency for many metadata fields, explained in part by the absence of metadata creation guidelines and professional training for metadata creators. This indicates potential barriers to metadata interoperability in an aggregated environment for future projects similar to DPLA or Europeana.</p>An Innovative Partnership to Recruit and Educate Biomedical Information Professionals2014-03-31T08:53:33-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279714/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279714/"><img alt="An Innovative Partnership to Recruit and Educate Biomedical Information Professionals" title="An Innovative Partnership to Recruit and Educate Biomedical Information Professionals" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279714/small/"/></a></p><p>Article on an innovative partnership to recruit and educate biomedical information professionals.</p>Instructional Design Strategies for Teaching Technological Courses Online2012-08-07T13:52:45-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc96663/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc96663/"><img alt="Instructional Design Strategies for Teaching Technological Courses Online" title="Instructional Design Strategies for Teaching Technological Courses Online" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc96663/small/"/></a></p><p>This paper describes different instructional design strategies for teaching computer technological courses online.</p>Integrated Learning of Metadata Quality Evaluation and Metadata Application Profile Development in a Graduate Metadata Course2018-08-08T08:27:24-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1225778/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1225778/"><img alt="Integrated Learning of Metadata Quality Evaluation and Metadata Application Profile Development in a Graduate Metadata Course" title="Integrated Learning of Metadata Quality Evaluation and Metadata Application Profile Development in a Graduate Metadata Course" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1225778/small/"/></a></p><p>Poster paper presented at the 2017 International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications.

Concept maps serve as a visual representation of knowledge. They are commonly utilized to support the teaching and learning process or as a student learning evaluation tool. While the focus of education research is on tools specific to cybersecurity such as learning management systems and cyber ranges, there is little dedicated to understanding how concept maps can be applied as an effective element within the security education. This paper reviews relevant research related to the applications of concept maps in diverse knowledge domains. The aim is to leverage previous research applications to garner support for concept maps as a useful knowledge management tool in cybersecurity. This is accomplished by highlighting successful applications of concept maps in related fields. Concept maps are poised to be extremely helpful with complex subjects such as information and cyber security where understanding the subject depends on the application of disparate but interrelated concepts.</p>Learning Analytics and Learning Technologies2017-10-26T15:36:53-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1036564/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1036564/"><img alt="Learning Analytics and Learning Technologies" title="Learning Analytics and Learning Technologies" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1036564/small/"/></a></p><p>Presentation paper for the 2017 International Conference on Knowledge Management.
