Symposium to be held in Brisbane Australia 1-2 February 2008.
New OCLC report now available: Sharing, Privacy and Trust in Our Networked World
OCLC just published Sharing, Privacy and Trust in Our Networked World.
This report to the OCLC membership summarizes the findings from an international study on online social spaces, including social networking attitudes and habits of both end users and librarians. OCLC Market Research staff developed a project and commissioned Harris Interactive Inc. to survey over 6,100 information consumers ages 14 to 84 from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. In addition, 382 U.S. library directors were also surveyed. The report summarizes four primary areas: The use of social networking, social media, commercial and library services on the Web How and what users and librarians share on the Web Opinions on privacy online Libraries’ current and future roles in social networking Our findings suggest that the social Web is a very different place, one being built and shared by millions of users. As such, the library’s role must be different, too. Download a free copy or purchase a printed copy and share it with others who are interested in how issues of social networking, privacy and trust are shaping a new Internet experience for us all.
