Renee Hobbs presents on the future of publishing, with a focus on libraries and ebooks, at the historic Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island on October 13, 2012.
The document discusses how the library cat Dewey transformed the Spencer Public Library through his emotional connection with patrons. It argues that libraries should strive to create personal interactions and emotional bonds with patrons, as Dewey did, in order to enhance the value and success of the library. The Red Wing Public Library in Minnesota adopted a customer service model focused on personal engagement with patrons at all levels of staff. Creating genuine emotional connections with patrons, though risky, was what made Dewey and the library he resided in so powerful and successful.
This document discusses e-books, including their history, definitions, advantages, disadvantages, and issues related to collecting and providing access to e-books in libraries. Some key points include:
- E-books are digital versions of books that can be read on computers, e-book readers, phones, or other devices. They offer advantages like searchability but also restrictions like DRM.
- The history of e-books dates back to the 1970s with projects like Project Gutenberg, but they became more widespread in the late 1990s and 2000s as formats and devices proliferated.
- Libraries are increasingly acquiring e-books but face challenges regarding pricing models, licensing, and ensuring long-term access

The document discusses research on U.S. public library users and their behaviors and preferences. It provides statistics on the size of the U.S. public library market with over 9,000 libraries and 169 million users. Known as "Power Patrons", frequent library users (weekly visits) tend to be middle-aged women with a college education. Power Patrons use libraries to borrow books, browse shelves, and search the catalog. The research also finds that library patrons purchase books, especially ones they previously borrowed, and consume content in print, ebook, and audiobook formats. Many patrons want more ebooks available from their public library.

This document provides a summary of a presentation on eBooks and eReaders given by Stephen Abram. The presentation addressed questions about what is really happening with eBooks, where all the changes in eBooks and publishing are taking us, and the role of special librarians in the future information landscape. It discussed topics like the growth in eBook penetration in different library sectors from 2010 to 2012, benefits and drawbacks of eBooks from different perspectives, and challenges related to eBook formats, devices, and pricing models. The document emphasizes that this is an evolving area and recommends remaining open to innovation while keeping librarian values as a touchstone.
The document discusses the current and future impact of e-books on public library usage and circulation. It finds that:
1) E-books currently account for only around 1% of total circulation at most libraries, despite significant hype and efforts to expand e-book collections.
2) The main barrier limiting e-book usage is the complexity of digital rights management systems which make accessing library e-books difficult.
3) Two developments could increase e-book circulation - agency pricing making individual e-book purchases more expensive, and Amazon allowing Kindle users to borrow e-books from libraries.
However, the author concludes that e-books have had little actual impact so far and physical materials continue to dominate
Sharing Culture in Books and the Benefits of Openness: Social Networks, P2P ...Sean Cranbury
Presented at Simon Fraser University, Book Publishing Immersion Workshops on July 21, 2010.
My presentation is called "Sharing Culture in Books and the Benefits of Openness: Social Networks, P2P & Infinite Digital Space."
An investigation into adaptation, digital transition in the book publishing industry.
The document discusses e-books in libraries and some of the key issues and challenges they present. It defines what an e-book is, traces the development of e-books from 1971 onward, and outlines issues like the limited availability of scholarly titles, delays in releasing academic e-books, licensing models that emphasize leasing over ownership, implications of leased access including loss of access, legal restrictions on uses like interlibrary lending, and the need for standardization of license terms.
The document discusses the changing relationship between authors, publishers, and readers in the digital era. It notes that while print has been dominant for over 500 years, e-books are now revolutionizing the publishing industry. However, e-books do not threaten print and both can co-exist. The transition to digital has raised debates around what constitutes an e-book and copyright issues. UNESCO aims to address these debates and ensure reading material is available to more people through initiatives like a World Forum on culture and industries in June 2012.

The document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on libraries, publishing, and patrons. It provides an overview of ebooks and e-readers from the perspective of patrons, libraries, and publishers. For patrons, ebooks provide convenience but lack some of the benefits of print books. Libraries struggle with restrictive digital lending models from publishers. Publishers are concerned about protecting sales but also recognize the role of libraries. The document examines trends in ebook adoption and debates around digital rights and access.
From Dystopia to Utopia: The Future of E-content in LibrariesWiLS
Libraries are well positioned to compete in the new digital landscape by collaborating with vendors to provide e-content and innovative software. Through partnerships, libraries can offer services like Popup Picks, which uses geolocation and unlimited use ebooks to share content within communities. The Illinois Author Project allows libraries to support independent authors and connect readers with new books. Community Collections software enables libraries to curate and preserve content created by local creative groups and share it globally. By working together, libraries and vendors can develop services that leverage the unique value libraries provide.
The 2009 annual report for the Cranbury Public Library summarizes the library's activities and highlights for the year. It notes that over 50,000 items were checked out by 65,000 people, 6,600 reference questions were answered, and 5,000 people attended 263 programs. The report also highlights the library's role in education, cultural enrichment, lifelong learning, and providing free access to information. It concludes by noting several of the library's 2009 highlights, including receiving a grant to serve the autistic community, purchasing a defibrillator, and an employee placing third in a state video contest.
This document discusses e-readers in libraries. It provides an overview of popular e-reader devices like the Kindle, Nook, and Sony Reader. It then explores how libraries are acquiring and lending e-readers, the challenges they face in choosing titles and developing lending policies, and the generally positive reaction from patrons. The document also notes some potential legal issues regarding lending e-readers due to vague terms of service from companies like Amazon.
The document discusses the impact of e-readers on libraries and the role of books. It covers topics like publishing moving digital, advantages and challenges of e-books for libraries, opportunities for libraries to expand services through e-books, and the need for librarians to develop skills in new technologies. The presentation calls on librarians to preserve the role of libraries and books by embracing opportunities in e-publishing while addressing challenges like costs and the need for professional development.

Media Literacy, Artificial Intelligence and American ValuesRenee Hobbs
Delivered at the Holland Symposium at Angelo State University, February 15, 2024.
Digital tools are used to create a tsunami of entertainment, information, and persuasion that floods into our daily lives because media messages influence knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Some people are overwhelmed and others are exhilarated by the rise of generative AI, which is quickly becoming normative for both creators and consumers alike. At the same time, mistrust and distrust are rising because it’s so easy to use digital media tools to activate strong emotions, simplify information, and attack opponents. Thanks to algorithmic personalization, new forms of propaganda are being created and shared on social media. Tailored to our deepest hopes, fears, and dreams, these messages can, at times, seem irresistible.
But the practice of media literacy education offers a humanistic response to the changing nature of knowledge caused by the rise of big data and its reshaping of the arts, business, the sciences, education, and the humanities. Learn how educators can help learners to ask critical questions that enable people to recognize the subtle forms of manipulation embedded in all forms of symbolic expression. Gain an understanding of the business models and technological affordances of AI, machine learning, and big data in order to distinguish between harmful and beneficial AI tools, texts, and technologies. Learn why creative and critical thinking, when it is combined with intellectual humility and empathy, help people develop the identity of a lifelong learner. When media literacy is embedded in education at all levels, people can find common ground, restore trust, and deepen respect for the shared human values of care and compassion.

Media Education in the Era of Algorithmic Personalization: Facing Polarizati...Renee Hobbs
Keynote address at the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND TRAINNING
ON DIGITAL AND MEDIA EDUCATION
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
Cluj-Napoca, Romania, October 25-28, 2023
This document discusses digital media literacy pedagogies. It notes that educators incorporate these approaches for various reasons such as engaging and motivating learners, activating critical thinking, and building students' confidence as authors. The create to learn process involves 5 steps: access, analyze, create, reflect, and take action. Instructors support learning through offering a mix of creative freedom and control. When students shift from passive learning to creating media, they increase engagement and motivation. The document asks questions to prompt reflection on incorporating these approaches in one's own teaching.
Media Literacy Education in a Global SocietyRenee Hobbs
What We’re Learning and What We Still Need to Know
By Renee Hobbs
Media literacy education has greatly increased in visibility as increasing political polarization continues to threaten democratic societies. Around the world, tech companies invest in media literacy education, hoping that it will stave off regulation of their digital platforms. Journalists and politicians hope media literacy education will increase the public’s appetite for quality journalism to improve civic education. Parents expect that media literacy will help protect their children against the harms and risks of growing up with social media. And educators at all levels are beginning to recognize that the 4 C’s of media literacy (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills) are increasingly central to an emerging conceptualization of a “new liberal arts” education. Which of these themes and areas of emphasis are privileged as media literacy education is implemented around the world? What are the most urgent needs still to be addressed? How can the many stakeholders for media literacy better coordinate their efforts to accelerate implementation?

Improving Reading Comprehension by Using Media Literacy Activities
By Renee Hobbs
Some literacy educators still hold to the idea that audiovisual media and digital technologies are the enemies of print culture, but a growing number of educators are exploring the synergistic relationship between different forms of reading that occur when the concept of text is expanded to include images, graphic design, multimodality, moving image media, and online content. At home, parents cultivate children's understanding of story structure by engaging in activities that involve children's re-telling of books, cartoons, games, and short films. They pause children's videos to ask questions, comment on action and predict what will happen next. Such practices cultivate viewing as a cognitively active process, a concept that was first articulated in the 1970s but continues to be more deeply appreciated with the rise of YouTube culture, where the distinction between authors and audiences is diminished. During the elementary grades, teachers use media literacy competencies when reading children's picturebooks, calling attention to when the words of a story and the image of the story conflict or deliver different messages. Active "reading" of picture books is a practice that foregrounds the meaning-making process and elevates reading comprehension beyond mere decoding. When educators reframe their work with youth as less about passing high-stakes tests and more about learning to navigate the multiple literacy contexts in which they live, learn, and work, students' motivation for reading increases. For this reason, literacy specialists are exploring links between disciplinary literacy, inquiry, and media literacy. Media literacy instructional practices honor students' popular culture and lived experience, and offer opportunities for students to bring their affect, emotion, imagination, and social interaction into reading practices that examine and challenge cultural conventions like materialism and consumerism that are reproduced in media culture on a daily basis.
Educators are themselves citizens who express and share political views as part of their personal identity. They may care deeply about issues including climate change, immigration/migration, growing economic inequality, health and wellness, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination, or other topics of concern. But in the classroom, some educators do not feel confident or comfortable exploring controversial issues with students, while others make clear their particular positions on political issues without necessarily reflecting on the inequality in power relationships that may silence their
students. The practice of critical media analysis and reflection help teachers navigate both the opportunities and the challenges of exploring contemporary controversies in the

Create to Learn: Advancing Collaboration and CreativityRenee Hobbs
Academic librarians, technologists, and higher education faculty have been actively experimenting with new forms of digital learning during the global pandemic. In the process, they have discovered some valuable strategies and practices that will continue to fuel innovation in teaching, learning, and scholarship for years to come. In this session, we’ll discuss why it’s more important than ever before to have complicated conversations about all the literacies - information, media, news, digital, critical, and those that are yet to be named. How do these competencies get integrated into all programs and courses across the liberal arts and sciences? In this session, we’ll take time to experiment, working in small groups, using create-to-learn pedagogies that can provoke intellectual curiosity by combining play and learning. Then, we’ll reflect on how creative collaboration can offer a liberating way to open up spaces of possibility and adaptation for the stakeholders in our own institutions and communities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
