RESUMO Este trabalho é resultado da pesquisa realizada para elaboração da dissertação de mestrado aprovada pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (PGCIN-UFSC), no ano de 2018. Teve como objetivo geral verificar como os Núcleos de Estudos Afro-Brasileiros catarinenses utilizam as redes sociais como fontes de informação étnico-racial. Além disso, a proposta foi analisar a disseminação do conhecimento e os usos/apropriações das informações sobre seus estudos, relacionando a presença dos intelectuais negros com a produção bibliográfica baseada na abordagem pós-colonial de teóricos como Grosfoguel, Oliveira e Lins e Bhambra. Investigou-se também o contexto das fontes de informação na internet, estabelecendo, a partir desse ponto, uma conexão com as redes sociais e a relevância dos trabalhos desenvolvidos pela ciência da informação sobre essa temática. Como metodologia, esta pesquisa baseou-se no trabalho de Corrêa e Silva (2017) que tem como objetivo apresentar, categorizar e discutir as postagens presentes no Facebook. A partir dos dados coletados, foram elaborados tabelas e gráficos que proporcionaram a análise das informações e das interações sociais realizadas. Por fim, percebeu-se que cada grupo e núcleo apresenta seus critérios de publicação e que o Facebook é uma rede social utilizada por essas entidades para disseminar informações relacionadas aos seus objetivos e por isso pode ser considerada uma fonte de informação étnico-racial para seus pesquisadores e comunidade em geral.Palavras-chave: Núcleos de Estudos Afro-Brasileiros; Fonte de Informação; Redes Sociais; Facebook.ABSTRACT This work is the result of the research carried out for the elaboration of the master's thesis approved by the Graduate Program in Information Science of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (PGCIN-UFSC), in the year 2018. Its general objective was to verify how the Nucleus of Studies Afro-Brazilians from Santa Catarina use social networks as sources of ethnic-racial information. In addition, the proposal was to analyze the dissemination of knowledge and the uses / appropriations of the information about their studies, relating the presence of black intellectuals with bibliographical production based on the postcolonial approach of theorists such as Grosfoguel, Oliveira and Lins and Bhambra. Investigated also the context of information sources on the Internet and its connection with social networks and the relevance of the works developed by Information Science on this subject. As a methodology, this research was based on the work of Corrêa e Silva (2017) that aims to present, categorize and discuss the present posts on Facebook. From the collected data, tables and graphs were elaborated that provided the analysis of information and social interactions. Finally, it was noticed that each group and nucleus presents its criteria of publication and that Facebook is a social network used by these entities to disseminate information related to its objectives and therefore can be considered a source of ethnic-racial information for its researchers and the community in general.Keywords: Center for Afro-Brazilian Studies; Source of Information; Social Networks; Facebook.

Social networks fundamentally shape our lives. Networks channel the ways that information, emotions, and diseases flow through populations. Networks reflect differences in power and status in settings ranging from small peer groups to international relations across the globe. Network tools even provide insights into the ways that concepts, ideas and other socially generated contents shape culture and meaning. As such, the rich and diverse field of social network analysis has emerged as a central tool across the social sciences. This Handbook provides an overview of the theory, methods, and substantive contributions of this field. The thirty-three chapters move through the basics of social network analysis aimed at those seeking an introduction to advanced and novel approaches to modeling social networks statistically. The Handbook includes chapters on data collection and visualization, theoretical innovations, links between networks and computational social science, and how social network analysis has contributed substantively across numerous fields. As networks are everywhere in social life, the field is inherently interdisciplinary and this Handbook includes contributions from leading scholars in sociology, archaeology, economics, statistics, and information science among others.

Understanding human cognitive evolution, and that of the other primates, means taking sociality very seriously. For humans, this requires the recognition of the sociocultural and historical means by which human minds and selves are constructed, and how this gives rise to the reflexivity and ability to respond to novelty that characterize our species. For other, non-linguistic, primates we can answer some interesting questions by viewing social life as a feedback process, drawing on cybernetics and systems approaches and using social network neo-theory to test these ideas. Specifically, we show how social networks can be formalized as multi-dimensional objects, and use entropy measures to assess how networks respond to perturbation. We use simulations and natural ‘knock-outs’ in a free-ranging baboon troop to demonstrate that changes in interactions after social perturbations lead to a more certain social network, in which the outcomes of interactions are easier for members to predict. This new formalization of social networks provides a framework within which to predict network dynamics and evolution, helps us highlight how human and non-human social networks differ and has implications for theories of cognitive evolution.

The explosion of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to a major transformation in media consumption and the use of social networks. New habits and extensive exposure to connected devices coupled with unmanageable amounts of information warn of a worrying reality, especially among the younger population. The aim of this research is to discover the degree of trustworthiness of Generation Z towards the media, their media consumption preferences and the association they make between media consumption and fake news. Using a descriptive and exploratory quantitative methodology, a study is presented with a sample of 225 young people belonging to this population niche. The study addresses three dimensions: media consumption, social networks and perception of fake news. The results show that generation Z is an intensive consumer of the media they trust the least and perceive traditional media as the most trustworthy. The findings indicate that social networks are the main source of information consumption for this ge­neration, among other content, despite also being the least trustworthy and the most likely to distribute fake news according to their perceptions. There is a lack of media literacy from a critical rather than a formative perspective.

Purpose of this paper is to determine how students perceive the image of their faculty on social networks, but also to analyse their experience and attitudes towards faculty social media strategy. The research was implemented using descriptive statistic techniques, as well as non-parametric tests such as Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Spearman’s Rho. The most common source of information when it comes to enrolment to faculty is word of mouth, while social media have a signifi-cantly lower credibility. During their schooling the respondents have most confidence in the official website, and far less in social networks. Such findings signalize the necessity of creating an adequate digital marketing strategy that can significantly improve the perceived faculty image. Positive perception of the image is fundamental for understanding the process of searching for and selection of the faculty, especially since the results have shown that the students do not value highly the image their faculties have on social networks. Positive perception of faculty image mostly depends on promotion strategy on Facebook and Insta-gram, and far less on LinkedIn and Twitter. In addition, students value more the image of the faculty whose social network pro-file they follow and, in a case, when they are followed back. No correlation was found between faculty image and gender, age or average grade. Therefore, we can conclude that social networks are very important in creating positive image and thanks to new technology, they are a promising solution for differentiation from competition in digital space.

Negative Perceptions

Library and Information Science (LIS) is primarily a graduate program of study which prepares students for careers in librarianship and other information professions. However, faculty and students are not the only users of LIS collections in campus libraries; academic librarians also need LIS information to support their research and practice. Effective collection development for LIS is grounded in a well-thought-out policy statement and employs time-proven strategies including title-by-title ordering, approval plans, standing orders, and judicious acceptance of gifts. A well-rounded and responsive collection spans several publication formats and includes works from publishers that specialize in LIS content as well as non-commercial grey literature. The challenges that LIS selectors face include the proliferation of distance education programs, the interdisciplinarity of the field, the shifting landscape of electronic publishing, serial price increases, the drive for assessment, negative perceptions of the quality of the literature, and the need to promote collection use. Because there has been little written about LIS collection development practices, there are many opportunities for further research.

Nowadays, social media is one of the popular modes of interaction and information diffusion. It is commonly found that the main source of information diffusion is done by some entities and such entities are also called as influencers. An influencer is an entity or individual who has the ability to influence others because of his/her relationship or connection with his/her audience. In this article, we propose a methodology to classify influencers from multi-layer social networks. A multi-layer social network is the same as a single layer social network depict that it includes multiple properties of a node and modeled them into multiple layers. The proposed methodology is a fusion of machine learning techniques (SVM, neural networks and so on) with centrality measures. We demonstrate the proposed algorithm on some real-life networks to validate the effectiveness of the approach in multi-layer systems.

The paper is devoted to the process and results of an analysis of abusing the right to freedom of expression for promoting pro-Russian propaganda in hybrid war against Ukraine at the present stage. It is shown that due to the peculiarities of the political situation in modern Ukraine, pro-Russian propaganda is most common in social networks. The study is conducted on the data from a weekly monitoring of pro-Russian propaganda in the Facebook public groups (‘publics’) of the Odessa region of Ukraine. Effective typology of propaganda messages in social networks is created and described. Its connection with the Lasswell’s test is grounded. General characteristics of pro-Russian propaganda promotion under the guise of implementing the right to freedom of expression in the Facebook publics of the Odessa region in the first quarter of 2021 are described. It has been found that the common tone of contemporary pro-Russian propaganda in Ukraine is becoming increasingly ‘soft’. The main group of contemporary pro- Russian propaganda messages are about the ‘shared past’ of Ukraine and Russia during the Soviet era, shared nostalgia for the ‘brave past world.’ ‘Soft’ promotion of the Russian information agenda and indicating Russian or Ukrainian pro-Russian media as a familiar source of information is the second huge group of propaganda texts. It is noted that both most popular ‘patterns’ of the propaganda can be considered propaganda only in the context of Russia’s undeclared war against Ukraine.
