This document discusses the role of libraries in knowledge societies. It notes that knowledge has become a main factor of social disparity and power is based on expertise. It also examines paradoxes in knowledge societies like the more context-free information exists, the more important context-bound knowledge becomes. The document discusses public spaces and how libraries serve as representative, appreciative, and social spaces. It also looks at how libraries can link local and global networks by providing both physical and virtual spaces and resources.

The dyophysite nature of internet: Negotiating authorities within churches
The document discusses how the internet both challenges and reinforces religious authority structures. It presents four case studies of how religious groups have negotiated authority through digital media. The internet originated from both counterculture and Cold War visions, inheriting divergent ideas around control and participation. As a result, the internet can both introduce new ideas that challenge faith as well as connect believers and reinforce tradition. The case studies show how religious groups have used digital media both to change and reinforce old structures and authorities.

Data is becoming a new source of contentions in the current networked information environments. Ambiguity about ownership and rights, fear about loss and abuse, and the increased velocity of its generation and circulation, these and other factors contribute to an uneasy relation between oneself and the data one is involved in its production, consumption, and dissemination. Cultural institutions such as libraries and museums are curators of artifacts, and are now much involved in the digitization of their content collections. Output from these digitization efforts can be simply viewed as data. What can and shall libraries and museums do with it? Open data is a technological and social trend in publishing, sharing, and linking data online. Several actors in the library, archive and museum (LAM) community have been using techniques and practices of Linking Open Data (LOD) in making their collections readily available and linkable on the web. In this talk, we will review some of the practices in the LOD-LAM community, and plan to involve the audience with a discussion on what open data is,and what cultural institutions are for.

Ecrea3b Lakel Amar Paper
The document summarizes the key issues and debates around the concept of multistakeholderism that emerged from the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) process regarding Internet governance. It analyzes the role and participation of civil society groups in the WSIS, noting limitations around their representativeness and legitimacy. While multistakeholderism aimed to be more inclusive, the document finds gaps remained between experts and activists in the civil society caucus studied. Representativeness and legitimacy were not fully realized through the caucus email list discussions.
Digital Humanities 101, ENGL 206, January 27, 2015
This document provides an overview of digital humanities. It discusses definitions of digital humanities from various sources, noting that it is not a unified field but involves using digital tools and technologies to study humanities subjects. Key aspects identified include working with digitized information, metadata, preservation of digital materials, and open access. Values emphasized include public engagement, inclusiveness, and empowering diverse voices. Concerns are raised that digital archives could repeat power imbalances and privileging of certain voices over others.
Cyber Summit 2016: Technology, Education, and Democracy
What are the opportunities and the challenges offered by emerging modes of technologically-inflected communication and decision-making? What is our role and responsibility as educators and as developers of research and teaching digital infrastructures? What do students need in the 21st century? As education institutions and providers struggle to respond to the first two questions, are we abrogating our responsibility to the last?
In this talk, Matt Ratto will describe some of the opportunities and the challenges we currently face, laying out a model of action for how to potentially address the questions raised above. Core to his thinking are two related points; first that we must help students develop a greater sense of how the informational world and its attendant infrastructures helps shape how and what we think, and second, that a good way to do this is to give students the space to engage in reflexive acts of technological production – what Matt has termed ‘critical making.’ He will provide concrete examples from both his research and his teaching that demonstrate the value and importance of reflexive, hands-on work with digital technologies in helping students develop the critical digital literacy skills they need to function in today’s society.
Matt Ratto is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto and directs the Semaphore Research cluster on Inclusive Design, Mobile and Pervasive Computing and, as part of Semaphore, the Critical Making lab.

Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky
Clay Shirky is a graduate of Yale University who teaches at NYU and writes extensively on how social networks are shaping society. He argues that online tools give people the power to organize in groups and take collective action. Large online groups can undertake complex shared activities like sharing photos on Flickr or having conversations. The internet allows people to interact based on common interests. Shirky believes these changes will transform the world wherever people work together to accomplish something.
KCB201 Week 6 Slidecast: Online Communities
The document discusses online communities and their potential benefits and problems. Some potential benefits include new forms of personal and community identity, communities of interest to share information, and opportunities for collaboration. However, potential problems can include the development of new barriers between communities and the use of online technologies for disruptive purposes. The document also notes that online and offline communities often overlap and influence each other.

The Network Society : Manuel Castells
Castells argues that the development of new information and communication technologies has led to the emergence of a network society. Key aspects of this network society include the creation of far-flung social networks sustained by ICTs, the restructuring of economies to accommodate open markets, and cultural movements promoting freedom in the late 20th century. Castells also discusses how networks involve nodes that can receive and send messages, how they stretch across boundaries, and how power can be difficult to locate within networks.
Critical Debates in Internet Studies
This document summarizes key debates in internet studies. It discusses the origins and growth of the internet from the 1960s to the 1990s. It then covers two case studies: 1) the shift from viewing the digital divide as an access issue to promoting digital inclusion, and 2) research on how the internet can enhance online political participation and e-democracy. The document also examines what internet studies encompasses as a field and different approaches to critique within internet studies research.
When communication innovations lead to social exclusion
1) The document summarizes research on the digital divide conducted between 2006-2013. It analyzed over 900 articles on the topic and identified patterns in the arguments.
2) A key finding is that an unequal access to the Internet is a new source of social inequality that requires intervention. However, the benefits of Internet access are dependent on existing offline resources and may be irrelevant or detrimental for some.
3) Non-users are often blamed individually rather than considering the systemic factors involved. The digital divide policies aim to create a perfectly connected digital society but could be viewed as a cultural project.

This document discusses a 2010-2011 study of youth movements in transnational feminist networks. The study found that young women were leaving established networks to form "youth-only" networks due to feelings of marginalization by older generations. They cited frustrations with assumptions about youth and "conference feminism" not accessible to all. While online spaces provided access to international organizing, the digital divide meant not all could participate equally. Fieldwork revealed differences in experience for Roma and Nubian activists due to language barriers and other access issues not evident online, showing how "solidarity" could mask divisions. Triangulating digital research with analog fieldwork provided thicker data.

Acsm jakob linaa jensen social media and the siloization of the public sphere
This document discusses the transformation of public space with the rise of social media. It begins by reviewing classic concepts of the public sphere from thinkers like Habermas, Dewey, and Kant. It then acknowledges critiques of these ideals and proposes updated concepts must focus on inclusion, visibility, and spatial aspects across different media settings. The document examines how social media can democratize by amplifying visibility but also risks "siloization" as people tend to confirm existing views. It contrasts the potential for "smooth public spheres" online with efforts by governments, corporations, and institutions to impose "striated" controls. In the end, it argues the key issues are whether a coherent public sphere remains possible across fragmented media and the

The shift to digital information determines a parallel shift in access modes, and digital libraries are called to action by the ethical foundations of their mission. Open Access makes information potentially available not just to researchers, but to everyone, yet there are still barriers to be overcome in terms of technical infra-structures, points of access, digital and cultural divide.
The mission of libraries, as stated by IFLA Manifesto for Digital Libraries and IFLA/FAIFECode of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers, con-verges with the mission and ethics of the BBB declarations on Open Access: it is about delivering information to everyone, from scholars to the “curious minds”, and librarians can be mediators in the wide diffusion, at all levels of society, of scientific, scholarly knowledge, to foster “active” and “scientific” citizenship.
D smethods overview1
Digital storytelling is an important participatory media method used in community settings to share personal stories. It allows people to explore their histories and reflect on their experiences in a safe environment. These digital stories have the power to make real differences in people's lives when shared for various purposes like education, social movements, policy advocacy, and research. The Center for Digital Storytelling has developed a model for utilizing digital stories from supporting individual healing to addressing broader issues of health, equity, and justice.
Internet Lecture
The document discusses several topics related to the internet and digital culture, including a brief history of the internet from its early scientific uses to the modern web; debates around whether skills required to use the internet are fundamentally new; concepts of remediation and convergence across media; DIY culture and participatory culture; issues of exploitation and power relations online; and the emerging field of gaming studies.

This document summarizes key points from Manuel Castells' book "The New Public Sphere: Global Civil Society, Communication Networks, and Global Governance". It defines the public sphere and discusses how globalization has impacted nation-states and given rise to a global civil society and new forms of global governance. Global civil society actors like NGOs and social movements now influence global debates through diverse media and communication networks. Nation-states have adapted through international associations and institutions. The global public sphere, built on internet and media networks, allows non-state actors to shape public opinion and social change on the global stage. Public diplomacy is now crucial for attaining sustainable global governance through networked communication.

This document summarizes research into the existence of a public sphere in the Australian .au domain and how technology can reinvigorate political engagement. The research used web crawls and content analysis of online discussions around electoral and environmental issues in Australia. Key findings include the identification of a public sphere populated by civil society organizations, with political discussions online mirroring and impacting offline debates. Issues are discussed individually rather than through collective allegiances, with political identities constructed separately online. The research also examines the opportunities and challenges of digital political participation, including its impact on traditional institutions.
mpm17: class 1, introduction to web 2.0
Web 2.0 allows users to move from passive consumption of media to active participation through social media platforms that connect people and facilitate the sharing of information. It provides tools for research like wikis that allow collaborative knowledge development. Web 2.0 gives rise to new forms of collective and connective intelligence as individuals create and share information that is then combined and extended by others in the network.
CALL -Computer-assisted Language Larning
This document discusses the concept of digital literacy and its importance in modern society. Digital literacy refers to an individual's ability to use digital tools and access, evaluate, and communicate information online. The scope of literacy has broadened beyond traditional reading and writing to include visual and electronic skills. There are many types of literacies that have developed within different social contexts, including digital literacy, information literacy, and media literacy. Attaining a good understanding of digital formats and information is an essential part of being digitally literate. The development of technology both shapes relationships in society but is also shaped by social and cultural forces. Education plays an important role in developing digital literacy competencies.
The importance of openness within Digital Literacy
The document discusses the importance of openness in digital literacy. It notes that we are increasingly living in an open and participatory culture with low barriers to expression and civic engagement. However, it questions if we are ready for such a society and looks more deeply at whether people can manage multiple digital identities, personal data, find and remix open content, and deal with ethical issues. It analyzes different digital literacy frameworks and concludes that more emphasis needs to be placed on openness, including operational, sociocultural and critical dimensions. The next steps involve identifying additional skills needed for an open participatory society by further examining frameworks and the relationship between social practices and skills.
Project presentation at iOS DevCamp 2012
The document discusses a new iPhone app called Blues Buddies that aims to help people with depression by allowing them to find others experiencing similar issues, share experiences, talk, listen and meet in order to provide support without medication. The app addresses issues around security, gamification/feedback, matching users and geolocation. It aims to improve upon existing depression apps and services by facilitating real-time support between users through behavior change.

Design for needs
The document discusses using game mechanics and gamification to fulfill psychological needs and motivate behavior change. It outlines Maslow's hierarchy of needs and differentiates between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The document suggests that challenges can fulfill the need for self-actualization, endorsements can provide social proof, badges can create scarcity, and free play can support autonomy. Participants are instructed to match game mechanics to needs and motivations to develop a behavior change strategy.
Makers: brief intro
The document discusses the shift from consumer to prosumer culture, where consumers also take on producer roles. It contrasts peer production through commons-based collaboration with traditional market-based production. Makerspaces and fablabs are highlighted as enablers that provide services, facilities, and foster a maker subculture supported by crowdfunding. The long tail theory is referenced as more niches are served beyond just mainstream hits.

The New Fundamentals of Marketing 20120606 slide_share7
The document proposes a new theory of marketing called "Quaternary Marketing" suited for the digital era. It identifies five revolutions in marketing: (1) the Darwinian Paradox, where digital evolution leads to genetic marketing revolution; (2) the Bayesian Paradox, where human cognition is not truly Bayesian requiring probabilistic tools; (3) the Chaosian Paradox where upheaval leads to constant marketing change; (4) using statistical computation and dynamic segmentation; and (5) moving beyond advertising to new fundamentals of marketing. The theory argues traditional marketing assumptions are invalid and a new empirical, data-driven approach is needed.

Several views are presented on the internet's impact on literature and culture, including arguments that it can bring order to culture, transform readers into active users, and change the experience of reading. However, others argue print books are still superior due to their portability and tangibility.
Olivia Porter: Digital Research Presentation
The document discusses the history and evolution of hypertext and its implications for literacy. It outlines three waves of hypertext development and argues that traditional understandings of literacy are inadequate for digital discourse. The author advocates redefining literacy based on navigation through nodes and links in a hypertextual archive, rather than print-based definitions of literacy. Examples are provided of early and modern hypertext applications like Wikipedia and an online story. The document questions how education can enable critical participation in an increasingly mediated world.

O Porter- Digital Research Presentation
Hypertext allows for nonlinear reading experiences through links between documents. This challenges traditional notions of literacy. The author argues for redefining literacy to include digital skills and sees hypertext as a new reality rather than a novelty. While electronic media is seen as a threat, the "archive" could evolve literacy if defined by participation in networked discourse rather than print alone. Promoting critical engagement with new technologies may help address declining interest in traditional reading.

Comparative Literature in the Age of Digital Humanities: On Possible Futures for a Discipline
by Todd Presener
Chris batt unc presentation 05-10
The document discusses the future of libraries and knowledge institutions in a digital world. It argues that libraries will need to transition from being reactive to proactive and strategic to remain valuable. Libraries should form new partnerships with other knowledge institutions and take an ecosystem approach, where public value comes from managed knowledge flows across different organizations with a shared mission of increasing access to knowledge and learning. To be successful in the future, libraries will need to think beyond just their relationship with technology and take a leadership role in defining and integrating knowledge access for citizens.
Cummings LIBR 200 Term Paper
This document discusses how public libraries address the digital divide and issues of digital literacy. It describes how public libraries now provide free access to computers and internet, as well as technology training classes, as many communities rely solely on libraries for this access. Certain groups, such as racial minorities, those with low incomes or education levels, and older individuals, tend to be most affected by the digital divide and make greater use of libraries' digital resources and assistance from staff. The document examines the history of public libraries' role in providing information access and how this mission has expanded to include digital technologies and literacy training.

“Library spaces in the knowledge society – knotting together global and local”
- 1. Library Spaces in the Knowledge Societies Knotting Together Global and Local Olaf Eigenbrodt Berlin, Germany
- 11. "Briefly put, public spaces serve human beings through their physical, ecological, psychological, social, political, economic, symbolic and aesthetic roles which make them inevitable components for societies and cities." [Akkar, 2007, p. 119]
- 31. "The Neighbourhood Libraries offer convenient access to all books and networked resources of the Seattle Public Library close to where people live and work. They are gathering places for exploring and collecting a neighbourhood's common heritage and for discussing divergent views. The Neighbourhood Libraries sponsor programs and offer materials related specifically to each neighbourhood, satisfying educational and recreational needs. Each Neighbourhood Library acts as an information navigator on new electronic resources, helping anyone sort, interpret and select information." [SPL, 1998]
