Huei-Yu Wang , Graduate Institute of Library & Information Studies, National Taiwan Normal University886972869171Social Media Promotion and Management Strategies for the Taiwan University System LibrarySince the COVID-19 pandemic, libraries of all types have been shifted services and resources to the digital forms. In this poster, three academic libraries in National Taiwan University System —National Taiwan University (NTU), National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST)— were investigated to characterize how academic libraries interacted with users through social media platforms, content analysis on libraries post on FB was also performed.
The results of content analysis on the library Facebook pages showed that comprehensive university tended to promote with library events and activities, educational university focused on content of entertainment and leisure, vocational and technical university recommended leisure activities and books. The results revealed three major constructs of content promotion, frequency of posting and user experience in the social platform. The finding suggested that the library Facebook pages do indeed help students receive information and can effectively promote the of library information and services, and eventually increased the use of library resources. At the same time, increasing the reach of the fanpages can be achieved through activities or cooperation with various administrative units.

Huei-Yu Wang , Graduate Institute of Library & Information Studies, National Taiwan Normal University886972869171Subject Heading Prediction based on the BERT modelCataloging is an essential part of the mission of the libraries, as the collection serves as a carrier of knowledge, so the users can effectively retrieve and utilize this knowledge. Automatic classification technologies have been introduced to the library technical services to enhance efficiency and improve inconsistency in cataloging. To address the actual cataloging needs and problems in libraries, this study used 620,217 titles from the National Taiwan Normal University Library as experiment datasets and trained with the BERT distilbert-base-multilingual-cased model on different combinations of call number, titles, and authors’ data to make multiple subject cataloging predictions in both Chinese and English languages.
The prediction results were evaluated in terms using indicators such as accuracy, precision, and recall. The results showed that the combination of the number and title had the best accuracy in predicting subject cataloging, indicating that the term of occurrences of the theme had a significant influence on the prediction performance. The study also found two key factors that can improve the prediction, the one is a number the glossary terms as the training data sets, and the similarity of the meaning represented by the training data and the glossary terms.

Yi-Shan Hsieh, National Taiwan Normal University0978-225326Covid-19 and the Digital Shift: Research Trends in Academic LibrariesThe world has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, socially, economically, and politically. In facing the crisis and uncertainty, services used to be considered normal have been transformed into digital forms. Academic libraries have provided online services of relevant resources continuously during the pandemic. Among them, the Research Libraries UK (RLUK), after facing the first wave of the pandemic, realized the need for the "digital shift" of research libraries and implemented it in the aspects of collection digitization, infrastructures, work norms, and librarian skills. How is the library practice in Taiwan responding to the digital transformation caused by Covid-19? In this study, we examined 63 studies on “digital paradigm shift” in the aspects of collections, operations, connections, and audience, to identify the service changes and compared the global trends with Taiwan. The study found that collections, operations, and audience were frequently mentioned in the literature, while the concept of connections was mentioned significantly fewer times. We also checked National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU)’ library’s Facebook page, and found that the posts on the “connections” were the lowest. The NTNU experience indicated that academic libraries can be an integral part of students’ university experience and knowledge of diverse research community.Yi-Shan Hsieh、Ke-Ming Jhang、Yuan-Long Lin、Yu-Chun Chiu、 Ming-Hsin Phoebe Chiu

Yi-Shan Hsieh, National Taiwan Normal University0978225326Cross-Generation Communication: How The Young Adults Replied for the “Blessing GIF” on the LINE Application?Line is the most-used mobile chat application in Taiwan. The “blessing GIF”, similar to Internet “Meme”, a square-shaped picture with texts, is a popular around elderly people. Previous research has primarily focused on the intension of elders sending “blessing GIFs,” but rarely on the receivers’ perspective. The purpose of this study was to achieve a better understanding of young adults, aged 18-45, in reacting to the receiving of blessing GIFs from the elder friends and relatives. In this study we use online questionnaires to investigate the responses and attitudes from 330 young adults, 316 have received “blessing gifs” while the rest haven’t. This study focused on how young adults responded to four different types of “blessing gifs”: greeting type, fun type, hortatory type, and news type, as well as what their attitudes towards “blessing gif” in Line app were. Results of this study revealed that young adults preferred “leaving someone on read” in greeting, hortatory, news type, and “reply with stickers” in fun type of “blessing gif.” Young adults agreed that “blessing gifs” could be seen as a channel of companionship and emotional expression from their senior friends and relatives.

Shuzhen Zhao051 9992 7953The three ways training for incoming and arriving international studentsThe international student population, defined by Nwokedi (2020) as “a heterogeneous group of students whose common element is their status as well [as] their intention of attaining academic excellence in a country other than their home country” (p. 50), is increasing rapidly in Canadian universities. According to Statistics Canada, the number of international students enrolled in Canadian postsecondary institutions has been on the rise for two decades, with international student numbers increasing at a higher rate than those of Canadian students. International students totaled 245,895 in 2016/2017, representing 12.0% of overall enrolments (Statistics Canada, 2018, p. 1). In terms of an academic library's obligations in helping international students succeed, academic libraries need to address international students' barriers, such as language, cultural adjustment, and information literacy issues. Specially, during the COVID-19 pandemic, as an academic library, what we did and adjusted for teaching programme for helping the international student’s academic journey in the university during this pandemic. This poster shares that the University of Windsor three-way training for incoming, arriving, and first year international students in terms of its services and information literacy skills. The three- way training programmes called pre-departure webinar, suitcase to backpack, and English language improvement program and English conversation group.SHUZHEN ZHAO, Rong Luo, Karen Pillon

Yu-Ting Huang, ​Graduate Institute of Library, Information and Archival Studies at National Chengchi University+886 988537919Supporting Equal Access for People with Disabilities: A Task-oriented Testing Analysis for Alternative Format Collection System in Taiwan In 2012, Taiwan established the Alternative Format Collection System (AFCS) with the initial aim of serving visually impaired users who required book information. However, AFCS expanded its services in 2022 to serve different groups of people with disabilities, aiming to achieve the goal of equitable access to information. The system was developed in accordance with the web specifications for AAA-level accessibility. The system provides union catalog and interlibrary loan services by employing a decentralized metasearch method to import book titles with accessible texts from national libraries, large public libraries, university libraries, and special education institutions. This enables people with physical or mental disabilities to access interlibrary book information, to read and listen to books online, and to download and use digital resources. It is important to make sure the system is accessible to people with various types of disabilities. This study investigated the opinions and experiences of various groups with physical or mental disabilities regarding using the AFCS. Sixteen participants who are the target users to test the AFCS were invited for system testing, including visual impairment, hearing impairment, learning disability, and physical disability with functional impairment of the upper limbs. This test found the following key points：
(1)The participants often could not successfully input their account number to pass the authentication step.
(2)The participants spent more operating time attempting to interpret the online instructions and using individual-specific functions, especially for people with visual impairment. Notably, operating the system is much more challenging for people with visual impairment than it is for people with other types of disabilities.
(3)The reason for errors occurring was most often the positions of the function keys. The frequencies of hesitation in operation and raising questions occurring for the participants with visual impairment were higher than those for participants with other types of disability.
(4)The analysis of operation processes indicated that the participants exhibited a higher confusion level when sorting through search results and operating the book search function. The participants with learning disabilities exhibited a higher level of confusion with the pages than those with other types of disabilities did.
(5)Most participants considered the advanced search mode to be complex, the location of the instructions for operating the system not be easily identifiable, and the explanatory text to be lengthy, and they indicated that they would prefer being given the option of determining how the search results were presented onscreen.
(6)More participants were satisfied with the system than were not. Cumbersome operation was the main reason participants reported not being satisfied with the system overall. People with physical or mental disabilities generally prefer simple search methods that are intuitive and easy to understand. Therefore, the wording for information systems should be simple.
By investigating the system’s accessibility and analyzing the experiences and opinions of people with physical or mental disabilities, these users’ opinions regarding the design of the system interface can be identified, and the functions that are difficult to use can be amended.

Wenli Gao, University of Houston7137438370From Panic to Process: Developing Workflow and Selection Criteria for Accessing Text and Data Mining CorporaAt the University of Houston Libraries, every request for data, text collections or access to text mining environments resulted in panic! There was no established workflow and steps had to be retraced and reestablished each time a new request came in. Also, the Libraries offered additional services and support around these materials that were not integrated with our existing workflows and connections. This poster presentation will explore the development of, and resulting workflow and selection criteria developed to support our acquisitions of TDM related resources, integrate our services throughout the process, and launch a small scale program to support researchers in getting access to the materials that would support this kind of research.Shawn Vaillancourt, Wenli Gao, Orolando Duffus

Chyi-Kuan Wang, Graduate Institute of Library, Information and Archival Studies, National Chengchi University+886975629062Needs of Cross-disciplinary Graduate Programs: How Libraries Contribute to Social Mobility in the post-pandemic EraThis case study presents a unique insight into the relationship between cross-disciplinary graduate programs and social mobility, highlighting how libraries can contribute to the needs of students in these programs during the post-pandemic era. In Taiwan, enrollment in graduate schools of national universities increased by 3.87% compared to pre-pandemic levels, as COVID-19 created uncertainty in the job market for college graduates. Completing a post-graduate program is seen as a way to eliminate this uncertainty, and interdisciplinary talent is viewed as a means to increase job opportunities.
To explore this topic further, this study conducted a bibliometric analysis with 958 data sets collected from the system of National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan. The theses and dissertations are published from 2012 to 2022 and are all non-library and information science related programs. The results indicated these researches that focused on libraries as the main subject reached a low point of 60 in 2017. However, after the pandemic, these researches began to gain renewed attention, with 90 studies published in 2022.
As for keywords, after the pandemic, the keywords surround “integrated analysis”, “literature review”, and “reading behavior”, whereas from 2012 to 2019, students focused more on “users’ satisfaction”, “service quality”, and “elementary education”. In addition, before 2020, “library” was often the main study subject for the research fields of “information engineering” and “business administration”. Nevertheless, after the outbreak of Covid-19, “nursing” and “pedagogy” became the research fields that used library data the most outside library and information-related fields.

Guan-Lun Huang, National Taiwan Normal University+886 970092833Building a Large-Scale scholarly dataset with local journal publications: The experience of TaiwanLarge-scale abstract and citation databases like Scopus and Web of Science have limited coverage because Journals included in the above databases must be published in English. As a result, research contributions by scientists who write papers in the local languages are excluded from these databases, especially in the social sciences and humanities of non-English-speaking countries such as Taiwan.



In Taiwan, National Central Library has established the systems, the "Taiwan Citation Index - Humanities and Social Sciences (TCI)" and the "NCL Taiwan Periodical Literature(TPL)" to fill this gap. Although TPL contains many PDF files of humanities and social science journal articles written in Chinese, the PDF files may not be more conducive to scholars and researchers conducting research topics about Text Mining or Knowledge Discovery. The structured dataset is more friendly than PDFs, such as XML.



To automatically turn PDFs into structure format, we chose an open-source tool, "GROBID," and re-trained it with 100 Chinese journal articles in Taiwan's library and information science field. The re-trained model was used to parse 725 Chinese journal articles in the library and information science to build a full-text dataset of the articles. We published the problems and findings we encountered during the process so that scholars who want to do similar work in the future can have expectations.

Guan-Lun Huang, National Taiwan Normal University+886 970092833Modeling the Emergence of Classic Literature: A Case Study of "Soul Mountain"Most ontologies modeling for artists currently only cover their biographies and works, leaving out the creation process of those works. Gao Xingjian made history as the first Chinese writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000, and his work "Soul Mountain" holds a prominent position in the literary world. Despite the manuscripts and works of Gao Xingjian being collected in the Gao Xingjian Center at NTNU, there are no records of how these works were created.

While creation process records may be scattered across various sources such as newspapers, magazines, speeches, and autobiographies, they deserve more attention as they are crucial in understanding how Nobel laureates produce their works. Our study pieced together Gao Xingjian's creation process of "Soul Mountain" from news reports and his works. We used CIDOC-CRM and linked open data to model ontologies, including motivation, experiences, and completion.

Our study is the first to model the creation process of Nobel laureates in Literature. Its significance lies in inspiring other researchers to similarly organize information on the creation process of other Nobel Prize laureate works.		Guan-Lun Huang, Chin-Cheng Lin, Han-Sheng Huang

Weiling Liu15026149470Giving to CALA: a Way to Celebrate its 50th AnniversaryCALA has reached a significant milestone, celebrating its 50th anniversary since its establishment in 1973. Over the years, CALA has provided a home for many librarians, particularly Chinese librarians, and has played a crucial role in fostering their professional growth through various training and experience opportunities.

As we commemorate this milestone, it's essential to find ways to show our appreciation for all that CALA has accomplished. The Public Relations & Fundraising Committee has developed and planned several gifts or projects to honor CALA in 2023.
These gifts include a digital Chinese-English Calendar, a grant-awarded project to document CALA presidents of the past ten years, a joint project with IJoL (International Journal of Librarianship) to publish a special issue on library leadership, and most importantly, a "Giving to CALA" campaign.

The "Giving to CALA" campaign, a joint effort with the Membership Committee, aims to encourage CALA members and the broader community to support CALA's ongoing mission and vision by joining CALA, getting involved, or contributing financially. All this can help to sustain and strengthen the organization and ensure that it continues to serve Chinese librarians and the library community at large for another 50 years and beyond.

In summary, this poster presents the various gifts and projects the Public Relations & Fundraising Committee has planned to celebrate CALA's 50th anniversary in 2023. The "Giving to CALA" campaign is a significant component of this celebration. We encourage all CALA members and supporters to participate and contribute meaningfully to the organization's continued success.

Chia Yi Liu, Graduate Institute of Library, Information and Archival Studies, National Chengchi University+886 987862088Promoting Local Cultural Collection through Digital CurationLocal public libraries play a pivotal role in preserving and providing access to local cultural and historical materials. How to better disseminate information on archived materials is thus crucial in this current digital era. This poster will discuss the practice of promoting local culture collection using digital methods.

Although the local coming-of-age ceremony "Coming-of-Sixteen" has been practiced for hundreds of years in the first author’s hometown, Tainan, most people know little about it; therefore, we attempted to curate a digital exhibition about this custom using the platform “Open Museum” developed by the Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures. After the literature review of the idea and research, we decided on the narrative outline and the exhibition style. Considering the content itself may be traditional and obsolete for the younger generation to visit and engage in the exhibition, we decided to make it more alluring and stimulating by presenting the content with a pixel-game style touch. In order to have more options to choose from, we not only went to temples and took photos ourselves but also reached out to experts and photographers who were passionate about the coming-of-age ceremony to facilitate a diverse body of material. And to legally use the photos and properly display them, we have asked for their authorization and the original file of the photos.

Next is to write the scripts and design illustrations that introduce each individual objects or provide a transition between chapters or segments, as they would help the audience move through the exhibition and its narrative. Before the official launch, we conducted a small exhibition preview to a small group of high school students followed by a questionnaire survey. The feedback showed that the content is engaging and easy to understand, while the idea of introducing traditional culture with digital methods proved to be refreshing and intriguing to the students. We officially launched the exhibition after some additions and corrections based on the feedback. Eventually, we used a total of 65 photos for the gaming-style digital exhibition, naming it “Log into 16.”

Through thematic sorting and digital display, the local cultural heritage can be known and appreciated by more people, as well as the archives and the materials themselves. Faced with the inevitable trend of the digital age, the content of local archives or materials should come to light and reveal its charm to the people instead of being preserved in libraries or archives, collecting dust. Characteristic local culture disseminated and promoted on the Internet with digital translation can in time garner more attention, promote the acquisition and the research of local cultural-historical materials, and deepen our cultural heritage.

Guangchun Zheng, School of Information Sciences at UIUC447-902-1096How libraries offer tech help: An ethnographic study based on the Urbana Free LibraryInformation technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into people’s daily lives, as social service systems increasingly rely on the Internet. When adapting to this trend, everyone needs help in one way or another. Libraries are an important resource for people to gain tech help and build digital literacy, as they typically provide computers and free internet access, and many of them also offer human assistance services. The Urbana Free Library provides patrons with tech help through its Computer Lab program. The program consists of both librarians and volunteers and helps patrons solve various problems they encounter when using the library’s computers, printers, scanners, or their personal mobile phones. This poster will present an ongoing ethnographic study that examines this program. The presenter joined the volunteer team and offered tech help to patrons on a weekly basis. The presenter made field notes with a focus on the volunteer-patron interactions and generated insights about the patrons’ needs and how libraries can support them. This study aims to reflect the relationship between libraries and their patrons and to provide reference and guidance for other libraries to offer similar services.Guangchun Zheng, Kate Williams

Suzhen Chen8089562425Using an interactive authoring tool for a cataloging/metadata creation class – experimentation and prospectsCataloging, classification, and metadata creation is an essential subset of information organization in the library and information science field. Providing quality data serves vital functions in the effective organization of library materials. However, teaching a cataloging/metadata creation class can be challenging. This poster will discuss and offer some literature review on teaching the course regarding the challenges and ways of achieving teaching effectiveness. In a recent study, some professionals suggest applying alternative and better ways to engage students in the learning process. This project is to explore an interactive authoring tool to enhance learners’ learning experience. More specifically, it is an experimentation for employing some tools to optimize the learning process to promote self-directed learning (SDL). A mini-course was designed using an interactive authoring tool H5P, which stands for HTML5 Package with the integration of video, audio, interactive quizzes, etc. A small sample survey with the usability testing and learning effectiveness survey was conducted. This poster will discuss some results, and prospects for using similar tools to enhance learning effectiveness with SDL.

This poster will offer the opportunity for library professionals to discuss how to improve the effectiveness in learning and teaching a cataloging/metadata creation course with an interactive authoring tool, and software developer on how to enhance the features of an interactive authoring tool to advance teaching and learning effectiveness. 		Suzhen Chen

Crystal Chen, Facing History & Ourselves214 991 8324Stories Beyond Borders: Developing the CALA/YALSA Taskforce & Reading ListIn early 2021, CALA and YALSA, in consultation with ALSC, developed a taskforce to create the Stories Beyond Borders reading list for youth audiences to highlight Chinese American and diasporic creators and stories. The reading list will be released this year in celebration of CALA’s 50th Anniversary. The poster presentation will provide an overview of the two-year taskforce, covering how the original need was determined, the final goals, criteria, general timeline, and current lessons learned from collaboration.

The Stories Beyond Borders reading list highlights marginalized and underrepresented voices in youth literature, providing an accessible resource for library workers to use in their daily work, whether through readers' advisory or collection development. The CALA/YALSA taskforce also provides an avenue for Chinese American library workers and allies to work together in order to positively impact a diverse community and serves as a model for other inter-organizational collaborations.

The digital PDF draft of the reading list is available here, and we hope to include printouts of the final PDF at the poster presentation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AJ5ZQnKg-h8GMJqrD6NNXQEHaBwd2cjA/view?usp=sharing		Crystal Chen, Melody Leung, other taskforce members TBD

Jia Mi, R. Barbara Gitenstein Library ,The College of New Jersey 609-771-2429Assessing CALASYS and its Value to the CALA Members CALASYS is an institutional repository designed by CALASYS subcommittee. It hosts scholarly works and educational materials from CALA members, collects CALA’s official documents, CALA committees and its Chapters’ materials, and archives cultural heritage collections. It has not been widely used by CALA members since it launched in 2013.

In order to find out how familiar CALA members are with CALASYS, and the degree to which they agree and are engaged with CALASYS, the Assessment and Evaluation Committee worked with CALASYS subcommittee and developed a survey.

The purpose of this poster is to report survey findings about CALASYS, summarize the survey results and explore factors affecting the adoption of CALASYS from the perspective of the CALA community, and make recommendations to the CALASYS subcommittee and CALA leadership about possible enhancement of the CALASYS.

A total of 50 CALA members participated in the Survey. The responses of the survey suggest that 66% of the survey respondents have heard of CALASYS and 73% do not have any contents uploaded in the CALASYS. Data from the survey indicate that CALA members have been slow to embrace the concept of CALASYS as the institutional repositories, less than half of the respondents would consider uploading their scholarly/professional works through self-submission, Nevertheless, there are interests in learning more about CALASYS in the future.

Based on the survey results, the Assessment and Evaluation Committee make a series of recommendations for the CALASYS subcommittee, including creating a more user-friendly interface and providing more trainings and guidance on the submission process. The responses also suggest that the future long‐term sustainability of CALASYS depends on gaining a stronger commitment from the CALA leadership, CALASYS subcommittee, and CALA community.

Jia Mi, R. Barbara Gitenstein Library, The College of New Jersey609-771-2429Evaluation of CALA and its Chapters: Initial ResultsLike other professional associations across various fields, CALA has been struggling to sustain membership, specifically recruiting and motivating volunteers and identifying members who can serve as volunteers. To examine the effects of CALA members’ need fulfillment and perceived organizational support on their attitude toward CALA and CALA local chapters, the Assessment and Evaluation Committee conducted a member survey.

Methods: Using Google Forms, the committee has created a two-part survey questionnaire that consists of demographic questions about respondents’ professional backgrounds and questions on participants' experiences and perceptions about CALA and CALA chapters. The survey has been distributed to all CALA members in February 2023 via CALA email list, CALA Facebook and CALA WeChat. The survey takes about five minutes, and participant’s responses are anonymous.

Analyses and Recommendations: We plan to get the survey back on March 15. We will analyze the survey data and write survey report by May, 2023.

Result: Through the survey data analysis, we aim to check CALA members’ engagement, barriers to participation and ideas for improvements. Ultimately, we hope the assessment could inform the CALA leadership by revealing CALA members’ needs and seeing what is important to them. We believe that the survey will be beneficial to other professional organizations.

Hui-Fen Chang, Oklahoma State University Library405-744-5281Academic Librarians’ Use of Social Media for Teaching and ResearchThe rapid growth of social media use has created new opportunities for academic libraries. While academic libraries have reported using social media technologies for broadcasting and promoting library services, there appears to be limited systematic research on ways how academic librarians utilize social media in their own teaching and research. This poster will present a work-in-progress survey study that is designed to examine the state of academic librarians’ use and engagement with social media in teaching and research. The survey aims to investigate various aspects of social media use, including which platforms are used, why specific social media is utilized, in what ways social media benefits their work in instruction and research. Approved by IRB, the survey invites academic librarians to contribute their input and experiences with social media used in instruction and in research. We will share our survey design in the poster presentation. We anticipate findings and outcomes from this study to inform the library and information science field how social media offers added value to librarians’ teaching and research roles and responsibilities in the digital environment.

Yuhao Zhang Renmin University of China4055121822Mobile divide Depicted: A Field Study of the Older adults in Sichuan, ChinaThe extant literature demonstrates that the age-related digital divide prevents older adults from enhancing their quality of life. The research aims to characterize the mobile divide and promote active aging. we conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 older adults recruited from western China and employed content analysis for data analysis. The main contributions include 1) older adults who are internet users showing a "mobile leapfrog" effect; 2) older adults do not have enough operational and information skills, and most of them lack strategic skills; 3) participants use smartphones more for expressive purposes; 4) a classification scheme of smartphone usage among seniors. Further, results point to an intellectual benchmark for future exploring related issues. The findings can enhance the well-being of this under-studied age group by promoting their digital engagement.

Yuan Li, Princeton University4012070469Towards a More Equitable Future for Scholarly Publishing: Princeton University Library’s Approach to Open AccessOpen Access (OA) is a business model for scholarly publishing that provides free access to research and knowledge for readers, in contrast to the traditional model where readers pay for access to scholarly information through library subscriptions. The primary objective of OA is to democratize access to knowledge and create a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive scholarly communications system, aligning well with Princeton University Library's (PUL) mission, vision, and North Star Statement.

Over the past two decades, various approaches to OA have been explored and experimented with, including Green, Gold, and Diamond. However, not all OA models are created equal, and each model has its preferred application in certain disciplines based on specific research cultures and practices. We believe that diverse approaches to OA are necessary given the different needs during this transition period.

This poster outlines PUL's approaches to OA and how these different OA models serve campus needs while supporting the global OA movement.
