The Net, smartphones, and other technologies have added to the way people can engage
with so much to local communities and wider communities of interest. Yet, there
are many gaps. Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center's Internet and American
Life Project, explores those gaps in his keynote at the Computers in Libraries conference.
He points to some findings of his Project that highlight areas where libraries and
information services add value to the participants in their communities.

You can watch a video of Lee's keynote on our website [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=8fjbltcab&et=1104931360176&s=12636&e=0011THX4wVCvM1Kx26k1YgHJR2NnPo7RzPAtOEC_V782z4WW6q-c1huu_AGpKeWyv2qPukEkeLLZs7Q_DAvLOAEGuqh9GHkDT_ftH7vwisVuB0lfkG-UiFHk85NiI7EUb39mrECUSIYNye_omrwOLgXTaLbDy_BX1qEJrzhCzHah7uEInq33uBUM3Lr62rGTynSTlcZa-199qc=],

news is going mobile. Nearly half of all American adults (47%) report that they
get at least some local news and information on their cellphone or tablet computer.
The information they seek out on mobile platforms is practical and real time: 42%
of mobile device owners report getting weather updates and 37% get material about
restaurants or other local businesses on their phones or tablets.
One of the newest forms of on-the-go local news consumption, mobile applications,
are just beginning to take hold among mobile device owners. Just 13% of all mobile
device owners report having an app that helps them get local information or news.
Thus, while almost half of adults get local news on mobile devices, just 1 in 10
use apps to do so. Read more » [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=8fjbltcab&et=1104931360176&s=12636&e=0011THX4wVCvM2eBba-ObLeIf1kKYcsptwjkFZMYOAPQvwxl7yNloY4vD1w7JINoNJPR5nGjOfkktuQqu3Tu9ZI6UxSv9RIRVWbCQYLIsjnA3BnHXHyUvKsMDb9uSP3Gw6kRT0Sk9luClV2XtUEph7qWKGSECpV8lXthTEREsmLYPN_TnU5P2fax0-4lirXppDT]

In the first days after the Japanese disaster, 21% of Americans say they have made
a donation to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. More than a third
of those who have already donated (36%) say they made their contribution digitally
- online, through text messages or e-mail.

In a striking shift in charitable donations methods, Americans under age 40 are
now just as likely to give donations to disaster relief through digital means as
they are through traditional means like the phone or postal mail. Read more »

54% of adults used the internet for political purposes in the last cycle, far surpassing
the 2006 midterm contest. They hold mixed views about the impact of the internet:
It enables extremism, while helping the like-minded find each other. It provides
diverse sources, but makes it harder to find truthful sources.

Fully 73% of adult internet users (representing 54% of all US adults) went online
to get news or information about the 2010 midterm elections, or to get involved
in the campaign in one way or another.

"It's now easy for me to find people who share characteristics or interests, whereas
for much of my pre-internet life I mainly felt like I didn't fit in anywhere. Also,
it's made it easier for me to find and interact with many types of people who are
very different from me, giving me a wider range of experience. The classic example
of how the net has positively affected my personal life is Meetup.com. I've gone
to many real-world get-togethers coordinated through that service, and have made
many friends that way. That, to me, blends the best of the net and the real world.
