Presentation for the European Conference on Information Literacy October 2023 sharing results of research project to investigate the self-tracking practices of LGBTQ+ students
This document summarizes a research project on the self-tracking practices of LGBTQ+ students. The researchers conducted interviews with 6 self-identified LGBTQ+ students who self-track to understand their motivations, data collection habits, and attitudes towards data privacy and sharing. Key findings include that participants tracked for multiple reasons including health monitoring and anxiety reduction. While concerned about privacy, convenience outweighed concerns. Participants were wary of judgement and not interested in competition, so mostly did not share data. The accuracy of tracking technologies and assumptions of gender and relationships in apps were also issues. The research provides insights into information literacy in self-tracking and how it intersects with LGBTQ+ identities.
The Quantified Self community believes that tracking personal data can help individuals learn more about themselves. Members track a variety of behaviors and activities using tools like wearable sensors and apps. While this data helps some people meet goals or form healthier habits, it also raises issues around privacy and data control as personal information is shared with commercial entities. The Quantified Self movement aims to have more open data standards and give individuals more control over their personal data.

The document outlines a campaign to encourage parents to openly provide sex education to their children aged 6-13. It notes increasing child abuse cases as motivation. The campaign aims to change parents' perspective of sex education as a natural part of children exploring their bodies, rather than a threat to innocence. A three month campaign is proposed using viral videos, a Facebook page, discussions with influencers, a landing page, and a mobile app to educate children in a fun way and commit parents to discussion. The budget is 2 billion VND split between media costs and creative/production costs.
Logging in 3 communities - lightning talk festivIL 2021Pamela McKinney
Lightning talk (5 minute) presentation given at the online FestivIL conference, June 2021 about research into the information literacy of food and activity tracking in three communities, parkrunners, people with type 2 diabetes, and people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
The document summarizes research from AVG Technologies on children's digital footprints. It finds that by age 2, 81% of children have some online presence courtesy of their parents, with the average age being 6 months. A quarter have had pre-birth scans uploaded and a third have had images posted at birth. It advises parents to consider privacy, safety, and the longevity of the digital footprint when posting about young children online. Parents should clarify their comfort levels and understand how information is distributed and secured before sharing details that could follow the child lifelong.
In the literature on sensing and monitoring, missing data is often treated as a nuisance. Statisticians have investigated many ways of filling gaps in a data set, depending on whether the data is missing completely randomly, whether the patterns of missing data can be predicted from other variables in the data set, or whether the patterns of missing data are regular, but hard to predict from existing data.
In this talk, I argue that missing data is evidence for how people engage with sensors and devices. I outline the processes that result in the absence of data, and discuss how this contextual understanding can be used to improve interpretation and analytics.
This talk is based on joint work with the Help4Mood team (http://help4mood.info) and Henry Potts, UCL, and Katarzyna Stawarz, Bristol, during an Alan Turing Institute Summer Programme Small Group.

Logging in 3 communities ECIL conference 2021Pamela McKinney
Presentation developed with Andrew Cox and Laura Sbaffi to summarise our quantitative research into Food and activity tracking in 3 communities of participants - people who run for leisure with Parkrun, people with type 2 diabetes who are members of the Diabetes.co.uk online community, and members of the IBS Network charity.
This document summarizes research on the preferred sources of health information and desired health information among caregivers of individuals with memory loss. Key findings include:
- Electronic sources and word of mouth from professionals/friends were most preferred and trusted, though survey and interview results on gender preferences were inconsistent.
- Gender did not affect desired health information, which most commonly included information about the disease and available services.
- Future studies aim to compare how information sources and needs vary depending on the disease stage of the individual with memory loss.
The document summarizes research conducted by Amelia Browne on veganism. She created an online questionnaire to understand public perceptions of veganism. Over 90% of respondents were not vegan. The responses showed that concerns about health, not knowing what vegans can eat, and being unable to eat out deterred people from veganism. Secondary research examined definitions of veganism, whether a vegan diet provides balanced nutrition, and health benefits and concerns of veganism. The research aims to help promote Veganuary by addressing common questions and concerns.
This document appears to be a research paper examining sexual relationships and satisfaction between male and female partners. It includes an introduction outlining the purpose of studying communication in sexual relationships. The method section describes conducting an online survey of 52 participants between ages 18-30 on their sexual experiences and satisfaction. The results section reports findings from the survey, including that most participants were Buddhist, had not yet married but were living together, and reported highest sexual satisfaction for males compared to females. The conclusion suggests more open communication between partners could lead to greater sexual satisfaction for both.
The document discusses a study on users' perspectives on companies analyzing their social media data and using algorithms to identify mental health from social media use. Interviews were conducted with 18 participants. For analyzing personal data, most did not mind, some were conflicted, and others did not like it. For data accuracy, most felt it did not accurately represent them. Regarding mental health identification without consent, some were okay, others unsure, some said it depends, and most were not okay. In conclusion, social media data may provide insights but is not an accurate sole source for mental health diagnosis, and users should consent to data use and analysis.
A survey conducted by The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt found that 75% of Facebook users are unhappy with their body and 51% feel more conscious of their body and weight after seeing photos on Facebook. The survey of 600 Facebook users between ages 16-40 revealed that people spend a lot of time analyzing their own and others' bodies on Facebook and comparing themselves, fueling negative body image. Experts warn that excessive time criticizing oneself and others online can contribute to eating disorders and encourage people to limit negative body talk on social media.
This document summarizes Alex Walker's evaluation of a booklet they created to support Veganuary, an organization that encourages people to try a vegan diet in January. Alex conducted research including interviews with vegans and surveys to understand perceptions of veganism. They developed content for the booklet such as an interview, infographic on the dairy industry, and list of facts. Based on feedback, areas for improvement include redesigning the fact file page to match the style of the booklet and gaining additional peer reviews of the cover design. Overall, the evaluation reflects on Alex's process for creating the booklet and identifying ways to strengthen the project.
Autism and Life Transitions: Hard Lessons Learned & Taught as a Person-Center...Cheryl Ryan Chan
In December of 2015, I presented this webinar to members of the National Association for Dual Diagnoses (thenadd.org). I've been conducting Person-Centered Plans for 4 years, and over that time I've seen a number of disturbing trends around the lack of understanding and planning for preparedness in transitioning students; in particular, in the areas of independent skill building specific to the anticipated environment, and personal safety skills. I feel it's important to talk about what I've observed and how my team of co-facilitators and I have identified and tackled these issues within the PCP process. I hope that the "lessons learned" will assist people in planning for IEP/ISP goals that can help maximize success. I offer it free to anyone who would like to attend.
The data and Information Literacy of runners: quantifying diet and activityPamela McKinney
Presentation for the European Conference on Information Literacy, 24-27th September 2018, Oulu Finland. Reports on a quantitative study that investigated the health, diet and fitness tracking behaviours of members of the Parkrun organisation in the UK
The document summarizes using online focus groups to develop a text-message based HIV prevention program for adolescent men who have sex with men (MSM) ages 14-18. The researchers conducted two online focus groups with a total of 75 participants. Key findings from the focus groups included:
- Participants expressed a lack of education about healthy sexuality and relationships.
- Sexually abstinent participants wanted messages that positively reinforced their decision to wait for sex.
- Sexually active participants reported barriers to condom use like embarrassment purchasing them and lack of education on proper use.
- Both groups expressed interest in content addressing developing relationships and accessing resources.
The proposal outlines a campaign called "To Create a Community of Care" aimed at raising awareness of sexual violence and domestic abuse through the Community of Care Coalition at Bowling Green State University. Research including surveys and focus groups revealed issues with personal safety, a lack of community, and inadequate resources to prevent and address sexual assault on campus. The campaign goals are to unite students, faculty and community members by providing education and promoting intervention to establish a culture of care and responsibility among members of the BGSU community.

Using theories of change to evaluate information literacy initiatives: LILAC ...Pamela McKinney
Theory of Change (ToC) is a participative approach to evaluating the impact of projects, programmes and initiatives. Librarians and information professionals engaged in change processes, development projects and research studies can use ToC to generate evaluation data and articulate the impact of their activities, working closely with stakeholders such as students, academic staff, teachers and other professionals. The ToC process generates new understandings of how and why project successes have been achieved, and can form the basis of justifications for current and future funding. ToC has been widely used to evaluate the success and impact of projects in a variety of sectors (often community and public sector initiatives), and in educational development (Hart, Dierks-O’Brien & Powell, 2009) including Information Literacy initiatives (McKinney, 2014; McKinney, Jones & Turkington, 2011).
McKinney was part of the core team facilitating ToC evaluation of projects in the multi-million pound Centre for Inquiry Based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences (CILASS) project (McKinney, 2014) and Webber was a stakeholder involved in two projects and a CILASS Academic Fellow. In the version of the ToC process used in CILASS projects, stakeholders are asked to identify the drivers for change in the current situation; the longer term impact they envisage the project will have; the intermediate outcomes that the project is expected to achieve; activities that would need to be undertaken to achieve outcomes and enabling factors and resources required to support the project (Hart, Dierks-O’Brien & Powell, 2009). Stakeholders collaboratively design a Theory of Change poster that defines key project indicators and develops a causal narrative between project activities and outcomes. A plan and evaluation framework is then developed from these indicators, and stakeholders design data collection instruments. Connell & Kubisch (1998) have identified that a good ToC should be plausible, doable and testable.
McKinney and Webber will bring their extensive experience of facilitating workshops, including previous workshops on ToC .
Objectives and outcomes for the Workshop
Objectives will be: (1) To explain ToC, its value and application (2) To enable participants to plan how they could use ToC to improve practice and impact.
By the end of the workshop participants will (1) understand what ToC involves; (2) have learnt the key steps in facilitating a ToC approach; and (3) will have identified how ToC could be used in their own workplace

Workshop at the European Conference on Information Literacy 2021 Theories of Change (ToC) is a participative approach to evaluating the impact of projects, programmes and initiatives. Facilitators help stakeholders to construct ToC at the initial stages of the initiative, and support them in monitoring and in impact evaluation. ToC has been used to evaluate the success and impact of projects in a variety of sectors (often community and public sector initiatives; Mason & Barnes, 2007), and in educational development (Hart, Dierks-O’Brien & Powell, 2009) including Information Literacy initiatives (McKinney, 2014; McKinney, Jones & Turkington, 2011).

By the end of the workshop participants will (1) understand what ToC involves; (2) have learnt the key steps in facilitating a ToC approach; and (3) will have identified how ToC could be used in their own workplace
Workshop outline
There will be five portions: (1) A presentation describing ToC, identifying why it is useful, giving examples and outlining the steps in the ToC process. (2) Participants will, individually, identify an project, intervention, activity or class where ToC could be used. (3) Participants will form small groups, briefly explain each of their projects (etc.) and choose one per group to focus on. (4) The groups will use prompt questions to start drawing up a ToC evaluation plan for their chosen project. (5) Sharing of ideas, and questions.
The target audience is anyone who wishes to evaluate projects, programmes, curricula or other initiatives.
Equipment should include presentation facilities, flipchart paper and pens. We propose a workshop of 90 minutes.
Everyday information literacy: CILIP Public & Mobile Library Group conferen...Pamela McKinney
This document outlines a presentation on everyday information literacy. It begins with introducing definitions of information literacy and contrasting perspectives from different organizations. It then discusses several studies on information literacy in specific contexts and communities. A model of an "information landscape" is presented, consisting of epistemic, social, and corporeal modalities of information. Attendees then reflect on and discuss their own information landscapes. The role of public libraries in supporting citizens' information literacy is debated. Challenges and opportunities for libraries are also considered.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

“So I track my food to help with my anxiety. Just to get an idea of if I have
eaten a good amount of food. Because if I don't track then sometimes it'll
get to about 8PM and I'll feel hungry, and then I will freak out thinking,
am I allowed to eat, am I not? And this gets rid of that anxiety for me””

“It's complicated. I haven't been tracking stuff for the past few weeks, but I
have over the past few years, intermittently, I've tracked exercise and
calorie intake at different times and sometimes both at the same time” [P2]

Because the data I have on there is not something I consider personal
or important, I'm not at all concerned about the security of my data. I
don't feel that anyone could do any damage to me by knowing what I
had for breakfast on the 23rd of March, or how heavy my period was
last week”

“I get quite self-conscious about it, especially during the days where I look at the steps at
the end of the day, and it's like ten. I don't want anyone else to see that. So I would
probably not tell family and friends, just for the fear of being judged”
"I don't do - like for example, Strava is a social media thing where people can comment or
like your latest run and stuff like that. But I'm not interested in that. I know my some of my
family and friends are, and they always ask me why don't you ever put your runs on there?
And it's like – because I don't care if you like my time or not”

Sometimes I feel like I can't trust the numbers because if I'm just on the bed
with my phone in my hand, and I'm just moving my phone around, it counts that
as steps sometimes. And I'm like, I haven't walked anywhere
“Lose It! will say, oh, this food helps you keep on track. And what it means by that
is that when I'm eating this food, I'm generally having a lower calorie day, which I
do not like and is not relevant to me”

”There is not an option to turn off it telling you when you are most likely to be fertile
or if you might be pregnant. And neither of these are relevant to me because I am not
in a relationship where I could be pregnant, nor do I want to be. Also, neither of them
gave me the option to insert my own pronouns. So neither of them actually use
pronouns for me, but there is a forum on the Flo app which I do read, I do not
participate. And there it assumes gender identity, which I dislike”

I do feel like it's apparent from the design choices of these systems and apps
and services that they are designed for cisgender people. And it would be
reassuring if it let me explicitly state that I am trans, and I'm taking the
hormones that I'm taking, by the method that I'm taking them. So that it could
adjust the goals and things, stuff like this, in a more appropriate way that I can
feel confident is taking into consideration my physiology and who I am and the
hormones I'm taking. Rather than wondering whether or not it's making
assumptions aren't necessarily accurate. So one thing that I have noticed is
that I've got certain apps on my Watch that aren't relevant to me or my needs
because of who I am.”

Fluidity These participants revealed a fluidity in their adoption and abandonment of technologies and platforms, essentially taking what they felt they needed at any given time. This pattern of quick abandonment is found among other self-trackers, and while many reasons are proposed in the literature for abandonment (data inaccuracy or uselessness, privacy concerns, switch to alternative, design/discomfort, motivation loss, loss of tracking feasibility/necessity, and habit formed) (Attig and Franke, 2020), these participants seemed to imply that tracking changed when a goal had been achieved, or they made pragmatic decisions about the value and worth of self-tracking at any given point in their lives and would adjust practices accordingly
Soft resistance the way the apps are typically used – intermittently and casually – with changes in what app is used, how frequently it is used, and what is tracked, create “soft resistance” where only fragmentary data is being shared. The potential for surveillance is therefore reduced (Nafus and Sherman, 2014)
Privacy paradox There was also evidence of the privacy paradox (Gerber et al., 2018): that users felt uncomfortable with how their data might be used but felt powerless to stop it and ultimately decided that the tangible benefits of using the app outweighed the somewhat intangible costs. In the UK at least, access to healthcare is not predicated on having health insurance, these students are not employed by large organisations who might seek to monitor them, and there is free and open access to abortion services, thus the potential consequences of health data leakage are less severe than in the US (Healy, 2021).
Sharing participants discussed a range of perceived barriers to and benefits of sharing. Some data was seen as socially unacceptable to share with friends and family, for fear of judgement or because it might make them feel uncomfortable, and this is consistent with previous research (Cox et al., 2017; McKinney et al., 2019). However, other studies see many positives with sharing exercise data online as it is seen to be a potentially motivating and empowering practice (Cifor and Garcia, 2020), and online spaces are seen to provide a valuable platform for information sharing for LGBTQ+ people (Delmonaco and Haimson, 2022). For these participants, there are specific challenges relating to whether or not there is value for them in sharing data with health professionals, particularly if this was counter-productive to a goal related to LGBTQ+ identity.
Heteronormative However, some experiences reflected experiences of frustration arising from the normative gender assumptions built into the apps, and this was particularly true for menstrual tracking or for participants going through gender-affirming transition. Menstrual tracking is a popular motivation for engaging in self-tracking (Cifor and Garcia, 2020), but these apps can be heteronormative; they often assume a partner is male, and are oriented towards fertility (Epstein et al., 2017; Healy, 2021), which was identified by these participants as an alienating or disempowering feature
Hicks (2022) cautions against assumptions that empowerment through information literacy in the health arena is a “self-evident good”. Baker’s (2020) analysis of quantified self technologies shows that a lack of transparency in the design of these technologies means that decisions made about the interface, what is measured, and the way that information is presented to users are not always with the wellbeing of the user as a primary goal. They note that “More information does not always result in more knowing” (p.1485), and that while users might perceive the information as empowering, it is a common mistake to think that these technologies are benevolent in design.
If the narrative that self-tracking is empowering is problematic because of the concerns around surveillance and control, which positions self-trackers as “mindless dupes” of technology corporations and data harvesters (Sharon, 2017), then the development of IL would seem to be one way in which users can challenge this narrative. By developing IL through greater awareness of the issues surrounding both privacy, and the potential uses of data, trackers can navigate more safely and effectively through this information landscape.
