The document discusses digital technology trends impacting libraries based on a presentation by Kristen Purcell from the Pew Research Center. It finds that wireless internet and mobile use is growing rapidly, especially among younger demographics and African Americans. Social media use is also increasing among both adults and teens. E-reader and tablet ownership is rising but still most common among those with higher education and income. The presentation recommends that libraries position themselves as nodes in patrons' information networks by providing expertise, recommendations, and opportunities for participation and customization to remain relevant institutions in the new information ecology.

Kristen Purcell was invited to speak this Thursday, August 12th, with the staff of the online news site Philly.com. She will share data on online news and information consumption from Pew Internet’s report Understanding the Participatory News Consumer (link). Kristen will highlight some findings about local news coverage that were not included in the original report. Roughly four in ten adults say there is currently not enough news coverage of their neighborhood or local community (38%) or that there is not enough coverage of their state (39%). These “local news enthusiasts” are slightly younger and more mobile than other adults, and are more engaged in social network site use and in commenting on and sharing news they find online.
On July 24th, 2010, Kristen Purcell will be teaching part of the Digital Libraries à la Carte course at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. The international course is offered each summer by the Tilburg Innovation Centre for Electronic Resources, or TICER. Kristen will share data on the growing mobile landscape both globally and in the US, highlight key aspects of today’s changing information ecology, and explore with librarians how they can leverage these two trends in their work.

Understanding the Participatory News Consumer
How internet and cell phone users have turned news into a social experience
In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on
multiple platforms on myriad devices. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a
particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone. The overwhelming majority of
Americans (92%) use multiple platforms to get news on a typical day, including national TV, local
TV, the internet, local newspapers, radio, and national newspapers. Some 46% of Americans say
they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day. Just 7% get their news from a
single media platform on a typical day.
The internet is at the center of the story of how people’s relationship to news is changing. Six in
ten Americans (59%) get news from a combination of online and offline sources on a typical day,
and the internet is now the third most popular news platform, behind local television news and
national television news.
The process Americans use to get news is based on foraging and opportunism. They seem to
access news when the spirit moves them or they have a chance to check up on headlines. At the
same time, gathering the news is not entirely an open‐ended exploration for consumers, even
online where there are limitless possibilities for exploring news. While online, most people say
they use between two and five online news sources and 65% say they do not have a single
favorite website for news. Some 21% say they routinely rely on just one site for their news and
information.
In this new multi‐platform media environment, people’s relationship to news is becoming
portable, personalized, and participatory. These new metrics stand out:
• Portable: 33% of cell phone owners now access news on their cell phones.
• Personalized: 28% of internet users have customized their home page to include news
from sources and on topics that particularly interest them.
• Participatory: 37% of internet users have contributed to the creation of news,
commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social media sites like Facebook
or Twitter.
To a great extent, people’s experience of news, especially on the internet, is becoming a shared
social experience as people swap links in emails, post news stories on their social networking
site feeds, highlight news stories in their Tweets, and haggle over the meaning of events in
discussion threads. For instance, more than 8 in 10 online news consumers get or share links in
emails.
