"Isms" in information science: constructivism, collectivism and constructionism
Purpose – Describes the basic premises of three metatheories that represent important or emerging perspectives on information seeking, retrieval and knowledge formation in information science:…

Information Literacy as a Sociotechnical Practice1
Information literacy has thus far been mostly a practical and strategic concept guiding the library field’s efforts in teaching information seeking and using skills. Texts on information literacy…

The Dawn of FIMP Dark Matter: A Review of Models and Constraints
We present an overview of scenarios where the observed Dark Matter (DM) abundance consists of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs), produced nonthermally by the so-called freeze-in mechanism.…

TLDR
This article calls for more critical reflexivity in how both scholars and practitioners in library and information science construct the identities of people as information seekers and users.

Expression of Interest for a very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment (LBNO)
This Expression of Interest (EoI) describes the motivation for and the feasibility studies of a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment (LBNO) with a new conventional neutrino beamline facility…
A social constructionist approach to the study of information use as discursive action
Orientifold theory dynamics and symmetry breaking
We show that it is possible to construct explicit models of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the number of techniflavors needed to enter the conformal phase of the theory is small and weakly…

On finite-temperature holographic QCD in the Veneziano limit
A bstractHolographic models in the T = 0 universality class of QCD in the limit of large number Nc of colors and Nf massless fermion flavors, but constant ratio xf = Nf/Nc, are analyzed at finite…

Information literacy 2.0
TLDR
The goal of this paper is to outline a picture on what it really means to live in this brand new 2.0 world and to take a philosophical and critical approach.
Self-interacting dark matter and cosmology of a light scalar mediator
TLDR
The case where dark matter has a self-interaction strength h Vi=m 0:1 1 cm 2 =g is strongly constrained, in particular by the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, which can be alleviated by introducing a new light sterile neutrinoN.
