Poster Presentation
Posters are an important part of scholarly and professional communication. In an effort to encourage students at the School of Library & Information Science to be active participants in these types of events, students may participate in an optional student symposium, but they are required to create research posters in their capstone LIS 695. These are helpful resources and recent examples

Chaos, Reports, and Quests: Narrative Agency and Co-Workers in Stories of Workplace Bullying
This study examined narratives that targets of workplace bullying told about their difficult work experiences along with how co-workers were framed in these narratives. Three different narrative types emerged from their accounts: chaos, report, and quest narratives. Co-worker responses of support or lack thereof were related to the construction of various narrative forms and the level of narrative agency evident in target accounts. The study has important implications for the difference co-workers can make in a target’s ability to withstand bullying and narrate his or her experience

Faith Leaders Developing Digital Literacies: Demands and Resources across Career Stages According to Theological Educators
Despite popular framings about skills for 21st-century jobs, there are few studies of how new media literacies unfold in workplaces, nor of how professional education programs can build on adult learners’ previous experiences to foster effective digital communication practices. We argue that seminaries and divinity schools are a particularly rich context in which to explore these questions. Not only do theological education students represent an unusually wide spectrum of ages compared to graduate programs across professional education, but ministry leadership also lends itself to a sociocultural understanding of digital literacy in which past work-related interpersonal skills are likely to be relevant. This paper revisits data from an interview-based study of theological educators that identified seven Digital Literacies for Ministry. In this new analysis, we use a demands-resources model from workplace psychology to explore and interpret how adult students across career stages engage with these literacies, identifying and illustrating from instructor interview data, and from our own interactions with students, strengths and challenges for each age group. The paper concludes with implications for theological education and other areas of media literacy education in professional schools
Community detection in temporal multilayer networks, with an application to correlation networks
Networks are a convenient way to represent complex systems of interacting
entities. Many networks contain "communities" of nodes that are more densely
connected to each other than to nodes in the rest of the network. In this
paper, we investigate the detection of communities in temporal networks
represented as multilayer networks. As a focal example, we study time-dependent
financial-asset correlation networks. We first argue that the use of the
"modularity" quality function---which is defined by comparing edge weights in
an observed network to expected edge weights in a "null network"---is
application-dependent. We differentiate between "null networks" and "null
models" in our discussion of modularity maximization, and we highlight that the
same null network can correspond to different null models. We then investigate
a multilayer modularity-maximization problem to identify communities in
temporal networks. Our multilayer analysis only depends on the form of the
maximization problem and not on the specific quality function that one chooses.
We introduce a diagnostic to measure \emph{persistence} of community structure
in a multilayer network partition. We prove several results that describe how
the multilayer maximization problem measures a trade-off between static
community structure within layers and larger values of persistence across
layers. We also discuss some computational issues that the popular "Louvain"
heuristic faces with temporal multilayer networks and suggest ways to mitigate
them.Comment: 42 pages, many figures, final accepted version before typesettin
What constitutes valuable scholarship? The use of altmetrics in promotion and tenure
The traditional ways in which promotion and tenure committees assess scholarship — whether quantitatively or qualitatively — are either inappropriate or insufficient for capturing its true value, argue Stacy Konkiel, Cassidy R. Sugimoto and Sierra Williams. Altmetrics can help fill in the knowledge gaps, but ultimately will only provide a limited view. Richer narratives can always be found by digging deeper into the qualitative data behind the metrics
