This afternoon (or evening, from our perspective here in Berlin) @Elke Greifeneder, Kaitlin Montague and Maria Gäde talk about Situated Storywalks – A participant-led approach the team developed and then applied in a case study about inclusivity, disability and invisible barriers within a library setting. #ISIC #InformationBehavior #IBIgoesISIC

Situated storywalks: A participant-led elicitation method. Information Research, 31(ISIC), 210-225. https://doi.org/10.47989/ir31ISIC65153

Yesterday, the Information Behavior conference (ISIC) kicked off in Montréal, Canada. We’re excited to have our information behavior team sharing their research at this event throughout the week! 🇨🇦 #InformationBehavior #ISIC #IBIgoesISIC

(For those of us who are unable to attend in person, we will be sharing our colleagues' conference papers soon.)

Woah! Such an intriguing context for an information behaviour study! 😮 See this hot-off-the-press paper by local colleague, Perla Innocenti.

I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:

I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.

My work and research touch on:

**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.

**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.

**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.

**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...

**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.
