В последние годы сформировались основные направления (приоритеты) развития библиотек, входящих в состав централизованных библиотечных систем. Очень важно, что многие из них отражены в основополагающих директивных документах, введенных в 2014 году. Это прежде всего Указ Президента Российской Федерации об Основах государственной культурной политики и Модельный стандарт деятельности общедоступной библиотеки. Наличие этих документов позволяет разрабатывать реальные планы и программы развития библиотек с учетом региональной специфики.
Безусловно, по-прежнему важнейшим приоритетом остается реализация информационной функции библиотек, включая обеспечение доступа к информации и материалам для чтения.
Вместе с тем после продолжительного доминирования информационной составляющей в деятельности общедоступных библиотек в настоящее время больший акцент делается на позиционирование библиотек как культурно-просветительских центров.
Следующее важнейшее направление развития библиотек связано с их участием в сохранении и преумножении культурного наследия.
Отдельно хотелось бы остановиться на деятельности библиотек в сфере формирования и развития духовно-нравственных, патриотических, этических качеств личности, прежде всего у детей, подростков, молодежи.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.

14. 台灣老外 「網路」獨立建國 【記者鍾蓮芳/專訪】 台灣除了外省人、原住民、客家人,還有另一個族群叫「外國人」。他們有的新來乍到,有的則已是住了 20 、 30 年的「老外國人」;過去,他們分散各地,近年他們則開始集會、結社,建立了一個自己的「社區王國」……。 不必緊張,這些外國人的「福爾摩沙」其實只是在虛擬網際網路裡的網站—— forumosa ;網主是加拿大人 Anthony van Dyck( 潘龍泉 ) ,來台近十年,耕耘網站幾年下來,竟成台灣外國人的網站「盟主」。 和馬英九相比, Anthony 高帥、健康、親和力高,外形毫不遜色;和陳水扁比較,他則溫暖、正直、有禮,公信力高出很多;和李登輝比較,他絕對是網站靈魂人物,如果這個網站已為台灣外國人的網路國度,稱其為「國父」也絕不為過。 Anthony 說,他大學時休學一年周遊列國,去過 31 個國家,對台灣留下深刻印象, 1989 年曾到台灣短暫教過英文,返回加拿大完成學業後,被台灣快速成長的步伐吸引,再次回到台灣,就這樣留了下來。 當時他除了教英文,發現到一個提供台灣外國人相關生活資訊的網站「 ORIENTED.ORG 」,他因為「愛吃」很快就把台北好吃、好喝的地方摸熟了,在網上發表了不少有用資訊,站主乾脆委託他管理其中一個飲食生活的網頁,想不到吸引愈來愈多的造訪者,維持網頁成了他業餘的「正職」;前年,他並成為網站的主要管理者。 網站後來改為「 forumosa 」,取 forum 中文為論壇之意,而討論內容為在 Formosa 台灣的生活點滴,也因為造訪的外國人愈來愈多,目前已是台灣最大的外國人網站:同時間通常有百餘人掛在網上,造訪網站的人數已超過了 20 萬人次。 他說,光去年一年,因為太多人上網而塞車、當機,維持網站的頻寬就升級了三次,流量大、網路升級,也使他們的網站維持費用大為提高,由一開始每個月 20 美元,到去年的每個月 200 餘美元,換算成台幣每個月網路費高達 7000 元,因為這個網站原本就是開放的公益網站,所有維持費用完全由站主自付。 Anthony 的台灣妻子潘蕙欣說,雖然她猶如「電腦寡婦」, Anthony 一回家就迫不及待坐到電腦前面,擔心愈來愈高的網路費,他們並決定開設「北美英語」補習班,打算為維護網站長期作戰。不過,網路社區的外國朋友「好可愛」,擔心站主關掉網站,紛紛主動捐錢,去年雖然網路費大增,他們竟然沒有花到一毛錢。 網上什麼神奇的事都可能發生,除了捐錢,連準備來台灣的外國人都找到 forumosa 尋找協助,還沒來到台灣、就已安頓好一切的吃住; Anthony 也意外發現外國人在台灣的足跡廣布,連阿里山上都住有外國人;去年桃園大停水,網站更「救」了許多已經好幾天憋尿、不敢洗澡的外國人。 透過網路,台灣的「外國人」也現出原形,台灣的外國人絕不只白皮膚、藍眼睛的西方人,也不是泰國、印尼、菲律賓等外籍勞工這些「刻板印象」,而是歐、亞、美、非四大洲,各國人都有,猶如一個「國際村」。 至於透過網路,尋求居留問題、課稅問題、交通問題等等疑難雜證,在網上找到了另一伴,志同道合的人定期約出來「網聚」,一起去露營、遛狗、郊遊「發現新台灣」,甚至對台灣社會、政治問題,國際政治、社會新聞,高談闊論,更是常事……;外國人在台灣的各種適應問題,交給「 forumosa 」就對了。 Anthony 說,台灣外國人終於建立了自己的社區王國……;他們不只是外國人,也是台灣人。 管理台灣外國人網站多年,加拿大人 Anthony van Dyck 潘龍泉(右為其台灣妻子潘蕙欣)誇口:北台灣有那些好餐廳?比他清楚的人恐怕不多
