(157) Voices from the River: Exploring Digitally Inclusive Tools with Marginalised Fishing Communities in Bangladesh. Md Khalid Hossain, Gillian Christina Oliver, Misita Anwar, Tanjila Kanij, and Manika Saha Monash University/ Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Introduction. This study investigates how small-scale fishing communities in Bangladesh, often excluded from digital initiatives, articulate their priorities for inclusive tools. Using digital inclusion and intersectionality frameworks, it examines how gender, age, and livelihood contexts shape digital aspirations. Method. Sixteen participatory ideation workshops were conducted in two districts with 128 participants stratified by age and gender (elderly men, elderly women, young men, young women). Sessions involved community mapping, problem identification, persona-building, and co-design of digital futures. Data were transcribed, translated, and thematically analysed, guided by Jia et al.’s five-dimensional digital inclusion model. Analysis. Thematic coding and intersectional comparison revealed both shared priorities and subgroup-specific visions. Findings were aligned with digital inclusion and participatory design literature to identify theoretical and practical implications. Results. Across all groups, participants emphasised accessible tools for livelihoods, regulation, and service access. Gendered differences emerged, with men prioritising occupational and market-based tools, and women focusing on caregiving, health, and small-scale entrepreneurship. Generational divides also shaped digital imaginaries, with older participants seeking stability and safety, while youth highlighted skills, autonomy, and transformation. Conclusion. Digital inclusion is a situated, intersectional process requiring participatory, context-sensitive approaches. The study underscores the need to recognise intra-community diversity when designing equitable digital futures.

(118) Engineering Oral Stories: A Conceptual Model of Traditions as Water Andrew Wiebe University of Toronto, Canada Introduction. Oral narratives often change form and ownership as they transition from speech to text, yet cataloguing practices rarely capture this fluidity. This study examines how description can mirror the layered nature of stories, rather than freezing them at the moment of initial recording. Method. A comparative case design is used. First, recensions of the Táin Bó Cúailnge are examined through de Laet and Mol’s (2000) “fluid‑technology” lens to model how narrative parts are exchanged like pump components. Second, Mapping Assiniboia Residential School Survivor Stories: Did You See Us? is presented to demonstrate an Indigenous perspective in contemporary North America. Analysis. The analysis of these two case studies is a literary review that provides a theoretical framing of scholarly responses to FRBR, addressing and situating how different oral traditions align in a central ambiguity. Results . In both cases, a recurring chain appeared: community blueprint, local knowledge carriers, and distribution principles.  Conventional catalogues only document the carrier, leaving the blueprint and flow unseen. A three-tier FRBR-Lite model captures all layers without the data overhead that hinders full FRBR adoption. Conclusions. Treating description as hydraulic stewardship—tracking blueprint, pump, and flow—aligns metadata with long-standing narrative fluidity and honours Indigenous sovereignty by incorporating community protocols at the carrier level.

(486) Privacy Concerns and ChatGPT: Exploring Online Discourse through the Lens of Information Practice on Reddit S M Mehedi Zaman, Saubhagya Joshi, Yiyi Wu Rutgers University, United States of America Introduction. As millions of people use ChatGPT for tasks such as education, writing assistance, and health advice, concerns have grown about how personal prompts and data are stored and used. This study explores how Reddit users collectively negotiate and respond to these privacy concerns. Method. Posts were collected from three major subreddits — r/Chatgpt, r/privacy, and r/OpenAI — between November 2022 and May 2025. An iterative keyword search followed by manual screening resulted in a final dataset of 426 posts and 1,900 comments. Analysis. Using information practice as the theoretical lens, we conducted a qualitative thematic analysis to identify collective practices of risk negotiation, validated with BERTopic topic modeling to ensure thematic saturation. Results. Findings revealed risk signaling, norm-setting, and resignation as dominant discourses, and collective troubleshooting and advocacy for privacy-preserving alternatives as key adaptive practices. Conclusion(s). Reddit functions as a site of collective sense-making where users surface risks, establish informal norms, and share strategies for mitigating privacy threats, offering insights for AI design and privacy literacy initiatives.

[Methods/Process] Building on ethics-oriented scholarship and the lifecycle of health-information activities in smart healthcare, we propose a risk-identification framework. We then collect data through in-depth interviews with multiple stakeholders and a corpus of platform privacy policies and apply grounded-theory coding to construct an Inducer–Pathway–Privacy Risk (IP–PR) model of risk emergence. [Findings/Conclusions] The model reveals five typical risk types—failure of autonomous authorization, privacy-rights transfer, proxy-operation bias, uncontrolled information use, and value-judgment manipulation—and shows that four classes of inducers (individual information literacy, the platform’s institutional environment, the platform’s technical environment, and the socio-cultural environment) differentially trigger or amplify these risks. Based on these findings, we propose targeted mitigation strategies.
