The Rise of E-Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In case you missed it: Our director, Lee Rainie, shared findings from our new report<\/a> on e-book lending at libraries at the 2012 ALA Annual Conference<\/a> on Sunday, June 24. He also discussed general reading trends, the rise of e-books, and library patrons\u2019 experiences with e-book borrowing. His slides are available here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

(Want to read more? Most of the data in his talk came from our new report, \u201cLibraries, patrons, and e-books<\/a>,\u201d as well as our previous e-books report, \u201cThe rise of e-reading<\/a>.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n

Lee will also be discussing this material at the ALA Virtual Conference<\/a> on July 18 starting at 11:45 a.m., EDT.<\/p>\n\n

Digital Differences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I also had a great time discussing our research at a session of the ALA\u2019s Spectrum Leadership Institute on Monday, June 25. We talked about trends in technology access and use<\/a> among various demographic groups, as well as what these changes might mean for libraries<\/a>. My slides are available here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

As I mentioned during my talk, senior research specialist Aaron Smith just wrote a new report<\/a> on \u201ccell mostly\u201d internet users\u2014the 17% of cell phone owners who do most of their online browsing on their phone, rather than a computer or other device. It not only updates our 2011 data, but explores the data in greater detail. As always, it\u2019s available in full online<\/a> and as a PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

At my session, there were a number of great questions about our research methodology, especially why we do not report findings related to Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. Our surveys cover people in all groups, but there are some pretty technical reasons why we do not cite statistics on relatively small demographic groups. A post on the main Pew Internet website<\/a> explains some of the reasons.<\/p>\n\n

Be sure to check back later for more blog posts\u00a0exploring different aspects of our latest report<\/a>, coming soon!<\/p>\n\n
