Information and media ecosystem changes • Volume of information grows • Variety of information sources increases • Velocity of information speeds up • Venues change -- times and places to experience media enlarge
Information and media ecosystem changes • Vigilance – attention to information and media expands AND contracts • Vibrant -- immersive qualities of media are more compelling – gaming; augmented reality • Valence -- relevance of information improves as customization/search tools emerge • Vivid -- social networks are more evident and more important as “coping” structures

The turn from groups to social networks = a new social operating system Behold the idea of networked individualismBarry Wellman – University of Toronto
Networked Individuals have a different … • Sense of information availability – it’s ambient • Sense of time – it’s oriented around “continuous partial attention” • Sense of community and connection – it’s about “absent presence” • Sense of the rewards and challenges of networking for social, economic, political, and cultural purposes – new layers and new audiences
Implications for libraries – 1 You can be a node in people’s social networks as they seek information to help them solve problems and meet their needs
Implications for libraries – 2 You can teach new literacies - screen literacy - graphics and symbols - navigation literacy - connections and context literacy - skepticism - value of contemplative time - how to create content - ethical behavior in new world
Implications for libraries – 3 Can re-vision your role in a world where much has changed - Access to information • Value of information • Curating info means more than collections • Creating media – networked creators should be your allies
New ecosystem has changed the role that librarians can play in social networks The four-step flow of information • attention • acquisition • assessment • action
How do you…. • get his/her attention? • use your traditional services (they still matter!) • offer alerts, updates, feeds • be available in “new” places • find pathways to people through their social networks
How do you…. • help him/her acquire information? • make sure to offer services and media in many places • find new ways to distribute your collections • point people to good material through links • participate in conversations about your work with your patrons
How do you…. • help him/her assess information? • exploit your skills in knowing the highest quality material • aggregate the best related work • when you make mistakes, seek forgiveness
How do you…. • assist him/her act on information? • offer opportunities for feedback • offer opportunities to learn how to use social media • offer opportunities for community building
Why good social networks (and social networking) matter • Healthier • Wealthier • Happier • More civically engaged = better communities
