Using Weick's sensemaking theory within a KM framework, and storytelling methodology, this study deconstructs a recent public Internet access policy crisis at the Ottawa Public Library (Canada). As the Library's Manager of Virtual Library Services, the author retrospectively enacts the story of how the Library Board and management resolved a public controversy led by the staff and the community newspaper. At issue were the Library staff's right to be protected from viewing Internet pornography, the community's reaction to the issue of protecting children's Internet access, and the Library's commitment to intellectual freedom online. Plausible meanings are presented, the public library's identity and beliefs are reinterpreted, organizational vocabularies are challenged and tacit and cultural knowledge are created and shared.Narration d'entrevue, cette étude décompose une récente politique de crise sur l'accès public à Internet à la bibliothèque publique d'Ottawa (Canada). En tant que gestionnaire du service de bibliothèque numérique, l'auteur relate rétrospectivement comment le Comité de la bibliothèque et les gestionnaires ont solutionné une controverse publique menée par le personnel et la communauté journalistique. Cette controverse concernait le droit du personnel à être protégé contre la visualisation de pornographie sur Internet, la réaction de la communauté au sujet de la protection de l'accès des enfants à Internet, et l’engagement de la bibliothèque envers la liberté intellectuelle virtuelle. Des hypothèses plausibles sont présentées, l'identité et les croyances de la bibliothèque publique sont réinterprétées, les vocabulaires organisationnels sont remis en question et des connaissances tacites et culturelles sont créées et partagées.

In this article, I introduce and evaluate the use of messy map interviews. Based on messy situational maps, messy map interviews is an interview tool I have developed to facilitate understanding of elements pertinent to interviewees. I present and evaluate how the tool contributes to interview studies that aim to describe and analyse elements pertinent to interviewees. This is done by use of an exemplar of working with messy map interviews, exploring parental decision-making about human papillomavirus vaccination. Based on the results, the study shows that messy map interviews can help keep qualitative research loyal to what interviewees ascribe relevance to. Furthermore, the tool can potentially help nuance the analysis of how elements are understood by interviewees. The article concludes that messy map interviews can be a useful mapping tool that keeps interviewees’ perspectives in focus in interview studies.

Long Term Observation

In Japan, a significant number of adolescent females noted unusual symptoms after receiving the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, of which the vast majority of them were initially diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses because of the absence of pathologic radiological images and specific abnormalities in laboratory test results. Later these symptoms were thought to be adverse effects of HPV vaccination. However, a causal link between HPV vaccination and the development of these symptoms has not been demonstrated. Between June 2013 and March 2021, we examined 200 patients who noted various symptoms after HPV vaccination. In total, 87 were diagnosed with HPV vaccination-related symptoms based on our proposed diagnostic criteria. The clinical histories of these 87 patients were analyzed. The age at initial vaccination ranged from 11 to 19 years old (mean ± SD: 13.5 ± 1.5 years old), and the age at the first appearance of symptoms ranged from 12 to 20 years old (mean ± SD: 14.3 ± 1.6 years old). The patients received an initial HPV vaccine injection between May 2010 and May 2013, but the first affected patient developed symptoms in October 2010, and the last affected developed symptoms in October 2015. A cluster of patients with a post-HPV vaccination disorder has not appeared in Japan during the last five years. Our study shows that, in Japan, the period of HPV vaccination considerably overlapped with that of a unique post-HPV vaccination disorder development. This disorder appears as a combination of orthostatic intolerance, chronic regional pain syndrome, and cognitive dysfunction, but its exact pathogenesis remains unclear.
