- Visualizing Identities in LIS Literature Hackney, S. E. Handel, Dinah Hezekiah, Bianca Hochman, Jessica Lau, Amy Sula, Chris Alen Scholarship Professional Identity Visualization Library Science Information Science Academic Discourse Publications Periodicals Content Analysis Databases Data Collection Coding Critical Theory Praxis Documentation Information Retrieval Journal Articles Intellectual Disciplines Literature Reviews Grounded Theory Qualitative Research Statistical Analysis This paper is based on statistical and qualitative analysis of library and information science (LIS) literature. Our study asks the question of whether, and if so, how, and how often, the discourse generated by scholarly literature in LIS engages discussion about identity in LIS, what topics are covered, and whether the articles engage praxis, or the application of theory to practice. Through searches in LISTA database that cross-referenced identity terms (e.g., Gender, LGBT) with terms describing prominent areas in the LIS field, we collected quantitative data and analyzed the co-occurrence of keywords and created network visualizations. We used a qualitative coding scheme to rate abstracts in terms of their relevance and actionability. Both modes of analysis show that generalized conversations about identity are most common, and praxis is rarely achieved. Using critical approaches to LIS, we explore the ramifications of silences within LIS literature upon the pedagogical and professional discourse.
