- W2165264160 abstract "Introduction. This study investigates the discourses surrounding the provision of Internet access in Singapore through the public library system and considers what the government, librarians and members of the public consider to be the legitimate uses of the Internet in Singapore‟s public libraries, how these compare with what the librarians see as their role in facilitating access and to what extent the Internet features as an educational tool in public libraries according to users. Method. Analysis of public documents. Semi-structured interviews with 10 senior librarians and library managers representing all the major branches of the national libraries in Singapore along with 40 members of the public from the four regional libraries. Questions were loosely structured around perceptions of the library and its provision of access, Internet policies and compliance. Observation was also conducted of library users and of their usage at the computer terminals in the library. Results. Although the government, librarians and library users all profess to leverage the Internet as a tool for learning and education, findings from the study throw up very different definitions of what constitutes learning through the Internet within the context of a public library. Conclusion. This reinforces conclusions from previous studies that what is termed learning through the Internet is variously constructed and understood in multiple ways. The Internet is not a „unitary technology‟ that can be simply slotted into new contexts without consideration that its meanings are more often than not culturally defined. This defies what is often presented of the Internet as a technical quick fix of policy makers to help its population leap frog into the future." @default.
