Transcribo nota de mi amiga Sheila Yoshikawa sobre su exhibición. Por supuesto hay otras como se puede ver en la fotos. Tremenda experiencia de aprendizaje.

***** Running a journal club in Second Life
Sheila Yoshikawa & Pancha Enzyme

This exhibit aims to provide insight into the practicalities and motivations concerned with running a journal club (JC) in Second Life (SL) on Infolit iSchool island. The JC has a focus on research in Information Literacy and Information Behaviour.

Since September 2010 we have held regular (usually monthly) meetings. A JC typically involves a discussion leader proposing a published research paper which is subsequently critiqued at the JC meeting. JCs are particularly valued in the health sector (see Deenadayalan et al., 2008)  and also used in other disciplines and professions (e.g. Young and Vilelle, 2011).

Traditional journal club meetings take place face to face, but virtual journal clubs have also formed, including ones using Twitter. The authors, who run the SL JC,  plan to investigate the motivations of club participants through a case study, drawing on chatlogs, snapshots, field notes, focus groups, interviews and a questionnaire. So far initial documentation has been gathered and a pilot focus group carried out.

The VWBPE exhibit includes: posters depicting the process of the Infolit iSchool journal club (how papers are chosen, session management  etc.); a presenter containing a series of web-linked panels to the previous JC papers; pictures and machinima of the JC room; and a poster on the process and outcome of the pilot interview.

**** Programme ****

***

11.00 SL time
**Introduction to the iSchool & Exhibition opening

* From: Sheila Yoshikawa (Sheila Webber  outside SL), Senior Lecturer in Sheffield University iSchool and Director of the Centre for Information Literacy Research

The Information School was founded in 1963, initially as the Postgraduate School of Librarianship, and later the Department of Information Studies. Last autumn we changed our name to the Information School, and also joined the iSchools organisation (http://ischools.org/), an alliance of academic departments which "are interested in the relationship between information, people and technology". iSchools is mainly in North America, and we were the first UK department to join.

Today, in Sheffield, we have been celebrating becoming an iSchool, and we wanted to extend this celebration virtaully to SL. We have just published our annual report for 2010: this 44 page publication is temporarily on the web athttp://dis.shef.ac.uk/sheila/ischool2010annualreport.pdf and you will see the wide range of activities and programmes that we are engaged with.

You can also see this on the poster exhibition that will be unveiled during this introduction. This mirrors a poster exhibition in Sheffield, and there are posters about key academic programmes and research groups. There is a separate notecard listing the posters. I will just mention that at the moment we are lacking the posters for our Chemoinformatics group. This is the leading group of its kind internationally, and I would particularly highlight the achievements of the head of this group, professor Peter Willett, who, in 2010 was the recipient of the Patterson-Crane Award of the Dayton and Columbus Chapter of the American Chemical Society and was recognised as the world‘s most cited library and information science researcher.

The website for the iSchool is at http://www.shef.ac.uk/is/index.html
