Editor's Notes
- Title: How Libraries Add Value to Communities Subject: The Net, smartphones, and other technologies have added to the way people can engage with so much to local communities and wider communities of interest. Yet, there are many gaps. Rainie explores those gaps and highlights areas where libraries and information services add value to the participants in their communities.
- Rise of broadband at home was transformative – internet becomes a central info and communications hub in the home after the switch from dial-up. People do more stuff online; privilege the internet over other info sources in many cases; report better outcomes from internet use, and, most importantly become content creators. Two thirds of adults and 80% of teens are content creators. This is the big change the internet has introduced to media landscape. Probably take a minute to say this.
- The info ecology changes thanks to rise of internet/broadband. Volume of information rises 20-30% per year. Never had anything close to this in human history.Velocity of information increases, especially in groups. Personally relevant news speeds up as people customize personal feeds, alerts, listservs, group communications.Vibrance of information/media increases as bandwidth increases and computing power grows so media experiences become more immersive and compellingValence/relevance of information grows in the era of the “Daily Me” and “Daily Us” and custom feeds. 2 mins
- Perhaps biggest change in info ecology is the democratization of media – and proliferation of niches. The Long Tail becomes reality for media and brands.
- This is the way Pew Internet measures content creation….
- The change wrought by mobile is that people are perpetually connected and pervasively available. It means that media and people are available anywhere with any device on any of three screens. Quick tout of Nielsen 3-Screen research (unless you want to do that) and how this shifts the venues and times of people’s encounters with media. Consumers run the playlist now, not the media companies. This changes people’s sense of place (and placelessness) and present. They can be with any one at any time and this creates the reality of “absent presence”.
- In the challenging new media ecosystem – as more information comes at them from more sources at ever-greater speeds – people cope with the change by relying more and more on their social networks. There are three important ways they do that.The first is that they rely on their networks to act as their “alert” system – sentries. We hear from more and more people who begin and end their days by checking in with their social networks to see what’s new, what’s worth viewing, what’s most enjoyable in media spaces.
