Geek Out don't freak out the Digital Divide & the Library's Mission

my (former) library population 900

me ‣ run MetaFilter ‣ lifeguard ‣ teach basic computer classes ‣ “help me buy a laptop” stuff ‣ just finished a book! ‣ this sort of thing so-called "expert"

my home ‣ rural ‣ very little broadband ‣ nice people ‣ strong library support ‣ far from everything ‣ including internet nice place

what's wrong with dial-up?

who is not online?

why no internet? ‣ 19% of dial-up users said nothing would convince them to get broadband. ‣ 14% of dial-up users (24% in rural America) say that broadband service would have to become available where they live. ‣ one-quarter (27%) of adult Americans are not internet users born with the chip, indeed!

why no broadband? ‣ Cost. ‣ Lack of digital literacy. ‣ Broadband “not sufficiently relevant for them.” ‣ Frightened.

Waste of time?! why are you a nonuser?

not just rural

who cares? Please get online, thank you.

"71 percent of public libraries provide their community’s only free public access to computers and the Internet" Huh.

survey says...

question actually asked

rural, suburban, urban? public, academic, special?

"Who is the better doctor—the one who can remember more diagnostic tests or the one who is the quickest and most savvy at online searching for the relevant tests?" academic

special/legal "Only a third of newly purchased books are initially bound. 'We’ll put a barcode on it, put it on the shelf, and see if people use it,' Palfrey explains. 'If they do, and the book starts to wear, then we’ll send it to the bindery.'"

public "The Howe Library is pleased to announce it has moved its entire bibliographic catalog and circulation system to Evergreen.... Moving to Evergreen will save considerable taxpayer dollars, primarily in annual service fees and upgrades."

networked local

thank you! questions?
