Pew Research Center Announces New Public Library Study
The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project will begin a three-year initiative to study how the role of public libraries is changing in the digital age. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the project “will examine how library users’ habits and tastes are changing in the age of e-books, widespread mobile connectivity and the existence of vast digital collections.” See the press release at http://pewinternet.org/Press-Releases/2011/Gates.aspx.
