Participatory Design is a field of research and design that
actively engages stakeholders in the processes of design in order
to better conceptualize and create tools, environments, and systems
that serve those stakeholders. In Participatory Design for
Learning: Perspectives from Practice and Research, contributors
from across the fields of the learning sciences and design
articulate an inclusive practice and begin the process of shaping
guidelines for such collaborative involvement. Drawing from a wide
range of examples and perspectives, this book explores how
participatory design can contribute to the development,
implementation, and sustainability of learning innovations. Written
for scholars and students, Participatory Design for Learning:
Perspectives from Practice and Research develops and draws
attention to practices that are relevant to the facilitation of
effective educational environments and learning technologies.

This introductory textbook aims to provide undergraduate students
in information science and related disciplines with an applied
grounding in information behavior. The book's primary focus is to
provide explicit links between information behavior and the careers
that students will pursue within the information professions. With
a deeper understanding of information behavior, students will be
better equipped to address the many types of barriers that
frequently prevent people from effectively and efficiently
accessing, understanding, managing, and/or using the information
they need in the "real world." The first six chapters of the book
provide students with the fundamental building blocks of
information behavior, introduce them to important related concepts,
and provide a deep dive into information literacy, digital
literacy, the digital divide and digital inclusion. Chapters 7
through 12 introduce students to the scholarly communication
system, providing guidance on how to find, read, and critically
evaluate information behavior studies. Also explored in these
chapters are the various methods used to investigate and understand
people's information behaviors. Topics covered include research
design, research methods, research ethics, user needs assessment,
and human-computer interaction and associated design methods. This
part of the book also covers some of the major information behavior
models and theories that have been developed to describe, predict,
and/or explain people's information behaviors. In chapters 13
through 16, the authors provide an in-depth look into their own
information behavior research areas, including consumer health
information behavior and health justice; youth information
behavior; legal information behavior and access to justice; and
information behavior in libraries. In the final chapter, students
are first introduced to a wide range of careers within the
information professions and then taken along on a deep dive into 10
specific jobs, with a special focus on the thread of information
behavior that pervades the roles and responsibilities commonly
associated with these positions. Each chapter begins with one or
more scenarios illustrating concepts covered in the chapter and
ends with discussion questions.
