Also, one article from the previous issue that I found particularly interesting was: Lee, L., Ocepek, M.G., & Makri, S. (2021). Creating by me, and for me: investigating the use of information creation in everyday life. Information Research, 26(1). (It looks at use of shopping lists and pinterest boards) http://InformationR.net/ir/26-1/paper891.html
