• W2308969811 abstract "We've all read the research indicating that most U.S. teens are heavy technology users and that they often turn to technology first to fulfill their informational, social, and other needs. Unfortunately, there isn't much research that tells us where libraries fall into this tech-heavy picture of teens' daily lives. With the goal of understanding how today's teens view public and school libraries, we undertook a three-year Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded study that examined teens' technology use practices, their social searching practices, and their use and nonuse of public and school libraries. In this article we will briefly describe part of that project, share what we learned about teens' views of libraries, and detail the best practices that can be drawn from this research. Background: Research Into Teens' Use (and Nonuse) of Libraries There is a long history of research into library use in the United States, but most studies have focused on adults as library users. (1) Within the few studies that have focused on teens, recurring themes include teens' negative impressions of public library facilities and services, and a preference for Internet and other technology use over public library use. (2) U.S. teens also tend to rank libraries and librarians low on the list of resources that could help meet their everyday-life information needs because they do not perceive them as relevant or useful. (3) When teens are the focus of library-use studies, the literature heavily favors library users as research participants, meaning that we do know something about the library attitudes and behaviors of frequent library users but little about the attitudes of nonusers and infrequent users. (4) In general, about 70 percent of U.S. teens use their public libraries on at least an occasional basis. (5) Study Methods As a part of a larger study, we conducted surveys and interviews with 25 students at a grade nine to twelve technology magnet high school in a large U.S. city. The school is a competitive-entry urban magnet public high school with a curricular focus on science, technology, mathematics, and entrepreneurship. There were 488 students enrolled during 2013 when we conducted the study. Approximately 30 percent came from economically disadvantaged families, and approximately 65 percent were minorities. As shown in Table 1: Participant Ages and Table 2: Sex of Participants, the teens in the study ranged in age from 14 to 18, with about one-third male and two-thirds female. Roughly a quarter identified themselves as black/ African American and about a quarter identified themselves as white. Nearly one-fifth identified themselves as Hispanic/Latino. (See Table 3: Self-Reported Race/ Ethnicity.) As a group, these students reported generally high levels of parental education, with nearly half (48 percent) reporting that at least one parent had completed college. (See Table 4: Parental Education Levels.) In comparison, just 23 percent of adults in the city where the school is located have a bachelor's degree or higher. (6) Sadly, while the school had a physical space that housed a library collection, at the time of the study there was no librarian on staff. The seniors in our study were the students who had had a librarian on staff during their high school years. The school librarian position had been cut due to budget issues after their freshman year. Unfortunately, this lack of staffing reflects the current status of many urban school libraries. In their 2011 report on urban schools, the American Association of School Librarians found that only 37% of respondents indicated that their [school] libraries are staffed by one or more full-time, professionally credentialed librarians. (7) Nonetheless, the students in our study consistently described the space as their school library, and the lack of a librarian on the school staff represents the sad reality of many U. …" @default.
