The Future of Reading
February 18, 2009
The New York Times is publishing a series of articles looking at how the Internet and other technologies are changing the way people read.
This week’s article, In Web Age, Library Job Gets Update focuses on school libraries and the role school librarians play in teaching kids information skills for the 21st century. There is also a great video that emphasizes the idea that today’s school librarians believe that “literacy includes, but also exceeds, books.”
Previous articles examined the debate over the value of reading on the Internet versus reading in print and how educators are using video games as bait to lure children to read.
All are worth a read.
