Status of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Archives

This paper explores the role of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) archives in preserving the history and cultural heritage of these institutions and investigates the factors that contribute to the disparities observed in the availability of digital collections and the staffing of archivists across HBCUs in the United States. Data was collected from 102 HBCU websites and the National Center for Education Statistics, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and ordinary linear regression. The findings revealed notable disparities in the staffing of archivists and the presence of digital archive collections, with geography, enrollment, and endowment emerging as potentially significant factors. The study highlights the importance of understanding key factors in the availability of digital archive collections and the staffing of archivists at HBCUs.

Appendix To What We Can Learn From Each Other: International Archival Pedagogy Conversations and Collaborations (open access)

Appendix To What We Can Learn From Each Other: International Archival Pedagogy Conversations and Collaborations

This is an appendix to “What We Can Learn From Each Other: International Archival Pedagogy Conversations and Collaborations,” a manuscript that was inspired by a collaborative workshop at the 2023 institute of the Archival Education and Research Initiative (AERI). The lively workshop discussion revealed both how much the participants all had in common, and how much they had to learn from each other. Their discussion highlighted how disconnected and geographically siloed archival education programs still continue to be, despite opportunities for international collaboration between archival educators. With this issue in mind, workshop participants decided to continue their conversations past the AERI 2023 meeting as part of an investigation of current pedagogical practices, teaching needs, and future goals of archival educators in a variety of settings. They met on Zoom and then corresponded asynchronously for a discussion of the structures of their archival education programs, their students’ needs, their teaching goals, how they respond to challenges in their virtual and physical classrooms, and how they can leverage this and future collaborations to benefit both their students and the archival education field as a whole. Using the transcripts of their conversations as a data set, they then used a grounded theory analysis …

Predicting Student Success with and without Library Instruction (open access)

Predicting Student Success with and without Library Instruction

Conference proceedings paper sharing a study to determine the impact that "one-shot" library instruction sessions had on students' success in two foundational English courses. Overall, attendance in library instruction had a small but statistically significant impact on student success metrics. The main purpose of this analysis was to demonstrate the value of predictive modeling of student success and identify the key groups for which library instruction could provide the most impact. This is the accepted manuscript version of the final paper.

Metacrisis of Meaning: Seeking Nature through Symbolic Metalanguage (open access)

Metacrisis of Meaning: Seeking Nature through Symbolic Metalanguage

This conference paper explores how what we perceive differs from what we believe. The authors bring three perspectives together with the aim of seeking meaning in our relationship with our natural “arena” through symbolic metalanguage:1) comprehending a gestalt approach to perception and narratives as metaphor; 2) gaining perceptual reciprocity to enhance our relationship with nature; 3) overcoming the obstacles of misinterpretation and unreliable narratives of the simulacra. It was presented at the 2022 Association of Philosophy and Literature Conference held May 25-28, 2022.

Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Management in South African Automotive Industries (open access)

Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Management in South African Automotive Industries

Automotive industries in the developed world have strived to improve performance and productivity by incorporating Knowledge Management (KM) practices in their manufacturing processes. This has been attributed to the use of upgraded technological capabilities in the acquisition, sharing, and retention of organizational knowledge. Literature has unpacked that as much as automotive industries need Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in their KM strategy, they should also include aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to facilitate and share knowledge (Wisskirchen et al., 2017; Calitz, Poisat & Cullen, 2017; Cronin, Conway & Walsh, 2019). More so, they recognised the limitations of ICTs concerning the management of tacit knowledge, which is intangible and difficult to share, as it plays a crucial role in the KM process. Despite the interest of many authors towards KM in automotive industries, there is a lack of studies aimed at investigating AI as a KM enabler in the South African automotive industry. This is a relevant issue as knowledge in the automotive industries tends to manifest itself tacitly. This realization has spawned a growing interest in incorporating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence into KM practices to overcome knowledge loss and bringing in innovation in automotive industries. It is against this backdrop; …
