Out of that project the group published two research articles, and Winberry was still working on a literature review Potnis had asked him to conduct on the\u00a0subject.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7253\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7253\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7253 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sis.utk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/WEB_Potnis_Devendra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Devendra Potnis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThen one fine day Joseph tells me he has collected 70 to 80 articles and we started looking at them and I realized that a spin-off article was possible,\u201d Potnis said.<\/p>\n<p>That is how the paper \u201cSocial Innovations in Public Libraries: Types and Challenges\u201d was instigated, and now that paper just selected as winner of the 2021 Bohdan S. Wynar Research Paper Competition through the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE).<\/p>\n<p>The paper focuses on solving social problems using innovation practices in libraries, and explores how existing research on classifying innovations by libraries does not treat social innovation as a separate category. The paper\u2019s goal is to provide a framework for librarians to understand what social innovation types exist and how to implement such innovations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial problems can be a variety of things, but are basically something along the lines of problems in society that cannot necessarily be fixed on an individual level, like a public health crisis or loneliness \u2013 those are things social innovations work to address,\u201d Winberry said.<\/p>\n<p>Examples can include rural libraries providing entrepreneurial support or programs around diversity and inclusion for historically marginalized populations.<\/p>\n<p>Potnis said that the paper earning this award will allow Winberry to present himself as an expert in the area of public libraries and social innovation. As for Potnis, he said he hopes this is another example for doctoral students to see and know that being his advisee can result in published papers and even awards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m trying to create a culture here, at least for me and my students, we collaboratively work with each other and co-author articles with each other and this kind of relationship will last beyond even after they graduate. Hopefully it will attract more advisees to me in the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Winberry is particularly pleased that this paper was chosen as the winner because it brings attention to social innovations in public libraries and hopefully will foster more of that type of work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s continually important that we bring attention to the work libraries are doing and the importance of libraries for communities and the difference they could make, as well as the great work our alumni and other professionals are doing out in the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Joseph Winberry was still a master\u2019s student at SIS, he was a graduate teaching assistant to Associate Professor Devendra Potnis and also assisted in research.
