I'm excited for the return of the @iassistdata.bsky.social #qualitative data interest group series on tools and strategies for #qual data analysis. On 9/12 @christinaqdas.bsky.social will present on choosing a digital tool for qualitative or mixed-methods analysis. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

"Social scientific methods are not as they should be." Some chronic problems that i'm pretty sure you've come across are outlined below 👇 and you can read more here - journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

In “Against AI: Critical Refusal in the Library,” I examine LIS as in need of a values-realignment, asking readers to refuse the technosolutionism we are so often offered in place of human-centered possibilities, like taking racism, climate change, and labor rights seriously doi.org/10.1353/lib....

Announcing a new GQNR collection that brings together published articles that advance #qualitative methodological development in nursing and related fields. Check it out here: journals.sagepub.com/topic/collec...

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Happy mail day! This collab grew out of a “can you help me find newspapers” reference question on 2021! It’s free to read online for a few more days www.cambridge.org/core/element...

New @iassistdata.bsky.social #qualitative interest group workshop recording is now available: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Ud... Martin Hájek demonstrated how to use @requal.bsky.social, a free and #opensource tool for #qual data analysis. Slides at: zenodo.org/records/1566...

The first of two special issues, Library Trends 73 (3), “Generative AI and Libraries: Applications and Ethics,” examines how librarians are grappling with the effects of AI on the field. Enjoy open access here ▶️ bit.ly/3SMx0N3

I'm developing a new workshop for fall on using MAXQDA (or other #qualitative software) for a lit review and wanted to share some useful resources as I found them. These are about the approach to analysis, not the technical aspects of the tool. #academicsky #PhDsky

Two pieces of news here. One is, new chancellor! The other is, the Univ of Illinois System is on Bluesky.

This is amazing!

Anyone have a good short-ish @zotero.org intro video you like? Looking for something on install and adding items for a class where we'll be talking about specific organization features and not starting from the beginning. #academicSky #PhDSky 📚

Not the point here, but this is part of why I don't trust computers to analyze qualitative data.

Standard Ebooks is incredible, public domain books, but cleaned up and made consistent and pretty; unlike Project Gutenberg which is also incredible but sometimes littered with problems in the files standardebooks.org

Workshop recording now available for this terrific presentation on how the open-source #qualitative analysis tool QualCoder compares with major licensed options: youtu.be/Cqwu3mjJJHg?... Part of the @iassistdata.bsky.social series on #CAQDAS / QDA tech iassistdata.org/blog/2025/02...

Hey #qualitative folks! Workshop this Friday on how the open source #CAQDAS QualCoder compares to licensed options NVivo, Atlas.ti, and MAXQDA. Register here! us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi.... I'll be emailing the recording to everyone who registers, so do sign up even if you can't make it live.

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

The library is the only place that Americans experience the fullness of what it means to remove goods from the market. It pings our consciousness. Hey we could love differently!

For a piece I'm working on reporting, if you're studying library science or are working in a library (especially if you're earlyish in your career), I'd love to speak about what you're hearing & experiencing right now. You can be anonymous. [email protected] or Signal rstauff.20

First, Steves finds a way to talk about institutions and oligarchy that is dirt simple: 1. Institutions are PUBLIC WEALTH. They are our shared wealth, dammit. 2. Billionaires can't stand wealth they don't control. 3. So they are going to dismantle our public wealth to better bleed us dry

For those wanting to build support for #qualitative work at your library/campus, the upcoming @iassistdata.bsky.social QDA tech workshops may be of use. We'll hear about Taguette next week, followed by QualCoder and ReQual in June iassistdata.org/blog/2025/02...

Some themes from the #acrl2025 presentation on supporting #qualitative inquiry in academic libraries. I love the concept of a "qualitative village" of people who support qual work for those who haven't had much experience or training.

I visited an Anthropology class today where they play songs from a collaboratively built class play list as they filter in and was invited to play a song of my own. Cue slight panic. Scrolling through my favorites in Apple Music in front of a bunch of students was an *experience* for sure.

My almost-13yo is applying to be a junior counselor for the parks district where he's gone to camp since 2019. We've already gone through using Adobe to fill out and sign the application and asking people to be references. WHEW this is strange.

I taught a workshop on Coding & Analyzing #Qualitative Data yesterday and had a great turnout and questions from attendees. The slides and recording (w/ captions) are now up on my #QDA guide: guides.library.illinois.edu/qualitative/... #CAQDAS #QualitativeResearch

A must read on the Clarivate announcement to end perpetual access to print, e-books, & digital collections by end of year. Siobhan Haimé suggests this disaster for libraries could be “an opportunity to radically explore alternative models to protect equitable access.” www.uksg.org/newsletter/u...

👏👏👏

I missed the CFP for this, sharing for any other #qualitative folks who may have also not seen that ICQI is online this year, May 14-17. Submissions are due March 15. icqi.org/home/submiss... #QualitativeResearch #QDA #CAQDAS

We are excited to let everyone know that we have a new website: www.datarescueproject.org/about-data-r... It includes the resources from the Google doc (that will stay live for a bit) and ways to stay in contact with us. Feel free to share! #LoveData25 #DataRescue
