The central focus is on the various types of information- related factors and processes that are central to the achievement of health justice, such as the health information needs of disadvantaged and/or marginalized populations; their health information seeking and use practices; and the provision of health information to these populations. keywords: access; capability; health; health information; health justice; health literacy; information; journal; justice; life; literacy; social cache: ijidi-32961.pdf plain text: ijidi-32961.txt item: #71 of 227 id: ijidi-32962 author: Fulton, Crystal title: The Information Needs of Individuals Affected by Harmful Gambling in Ireland date: 2019-08-12 words: 8336 flesch: 44 summary: Further, there is no national framework outlining policy around gambling addiction services, such as those extant for alcohol and drugs. Keywords: gambling addiction; harmful gambling; health behaviour, health information; information-seeking behaviour Publication Type: research article Introduction armful gambling is a socially disruptive problem in many regions, frequently leading to financial crises, broken relationships, and even suicide; however, there is little research generally around the social impact of harmful gambling, for example, on families (Kourgiantakis, Saint-Jacques, & Tremblay, 2013). keywords: addiction; family; gamblers; gambling; gambling addiction; health; help; individuals; information; ireland; journal; needs; participants; research; services; social cache: ijidi-32962.pdf plain text: ijidi-32962.txt item: #72 of 227 id: ijidi-32963 author: Mehra, Bharat; Sikes, Everette Scott; Singh, Vandana title: Scenarios of Health Engagement Experiences and Health Justice in Rural Libraries date: 2019-08-12 words: 13378 flesch: 39 summary: For those users who have access to health information, Flaherty (2013) saw a need to understand the best ways to provide guidance and strategies for the evaluation of information: “With an ever-increasing emphasis on patient/consumer responsibility for health and an ever-escalating amount of information available, individuals are in need of support when it comes to utilizing health information resources” (p. 164). For those who lack computers or internet technologies at home, public libraries facilitate improved access to health information and offer resources to community members in their provision of computer workstations and Wi-Fi (Rubenstein, 2017). keywords: appalachian; challenges; community; diversity; doi; education; experiences; health; health engagement; health information; inclusion; information; initiatives; international; journal; jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/ijidi/index; libraries; library; mehra; people; public; region; research; rural; scenarios cache: ijidi-32963.pdf plain text: ijidi-32963.txt item: #73 of 227 id: ijidi-32964 author: Chen, Annie T.; Carpenter, Holly; Flaherty, Mary Grace title: Work Experiences, Accommodations, and Information in the Context of Fibromyalgia: A Literature Review and Conceptual Synthesis date: 2019-08-12 words: 13214 flesch: 32 summary: Factors of importance for work disability in women with fibromyalgia: An interview study.

Certainly, the wrongful nature of this policy is unsurprising when considering the severe breaches in ethics in the history of sex testing as a means of gender policing in the IAAF and IOC (Henne, 2014) and history of sexist treatment of female athletes (Karkazis, Jordan-Young, Davis, & Camporesi, 2012; Newbould, 2015). keywords: athletes; bodies; female; gender; iaaf; international; intersex; journal; new; policy; sex; testosterone; women cache: ijidi-32965.pdf plain text: ijidi-32965.txt item: #75 of 227 id: ijidi-32966 author: Sardana, Surbhi title: Creating a Culture of Equity: Building Awareness Within the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services date: 2019-08-12 words: 5234 flesch: 45 summary: In achieving health equity, the long- term vision of public health practitioners is to reduce or eliminate disparities that are avoidable and unfair.

So long as English remains the de facto language of global research and scholarship, the high costs in time and money that it imposes on non-native learners will inhibit information exchange, handicap academic careers, and impede public participation in research, especially in those regions where there is the greatest need for the opportunities that engagement with global scholarship promises and where articulate voices are most acutely missing from broader global conversations. keywords: access; community; global; information; institute; journal; monteverde; research; researchers; scholarship; students cache: ijidi-33520.pdf plain text: ijidi-33520.txt item: #101 of 227 id: ijidi-33554 author: Moshoeshoe-Chadzingwa, Matseliso 'Mamahlape title: Diversity, Inclusivity, Social Responsibility Aspects, and Outcomes of a Mobile Digital Library and Information Service Model for a Developing Country: The Case for Lesotho date: 2020-10-10 words: 9205 flesch: 39 summary: The provision of library services through rigid compartmentalisation of academic, public, school, and special libraries operating in one country can be cost-effective if a country has strong socio- economic, cultural, educational, and political structures.

Bérubé states that, It seems that so long as white people never consciously decide to be a white group, a white organization, a white department, so long as we each individually believe that people of color are always welcome, even though they are not there, then we do not have to examine our whiteness because we can believe it is unintentional, it’s not our reason for being there. keywords: ara; archival; archives; archives sector; association; bca; black; british; diversity; doi; group; history; inclusion; information; international; journal; jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/ijidi/index; people; profession; racism; records; sector; supremacy; white; whitewashing; work cache: ijidi-34731.pdf plain text: ijidi-34731.txt item: #123 of 227 id: ijidi-34760 author: Mills, J Elizabeth; Kociubuk, Jacqueline; Campana, Kathleen title: Understanding Social Justice Through Practitioners’ Language: A Grounded Theory Analysis of Interviews with Practitioners from Libraries and Their Community Partners date: 2021-05-06 words: 8981 flesch: 42 summary: However, certain new themes—an interchangeability of equity and equality; an approach that is both broad and specific and therefore perhaps embodies some tension of scope and goal; an expectation on the part of the practitioner that a community play their own role in facilitating engagement; and an interest in sharing vulnerability with a community as part of building trust and relationship—offer intriguing additional avenues for inquiry that could lend depth and nuance to existing social justice theories around equity, engagement, and empowerment in community work.
