bibliomancienne

En complément du Bouillon avec des saveurs un brin plus locales, cette veille porte une attention particulière aux bibliothèques comme « infrastructures sociales » – comme le présente si bien Eric Klinenberg dans l’extrait de l’article partagé plus bas – ainsi qu’aux services pour les jeunes en vue d’alimenter la réflexion dans le cadre du cours SCI6339.

Bibliothèques publiques

1.  Les données 2017 sur les bibliothèques publiques québécoises.disponibles dans StatBib (BAnQ)
2. Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell on why we need libraries – an essay in pictures (The Guardian)
3. ***Nouveau plan stratégique de la Public Library Assocation (PLA)
4. ***To Restore Civil Society, Start With the Library (NYT) :

Libraries are an example of what I call “social infrastructure”: the physical spaces and organizations that shape the way people interact. Libraries don’t just provide free access to books and other cultural materials, they also offer things like companionship for older adults, de facto child care for busy parents, language instruction for immigrants and welcoming public spaces for the poor, the homeless and young people.

I recently spent a year doing ethnographic research in libraries in New York City. Again and again, I was reminded how essential libraries are, not only for a neighborhood’s vitality but also for helping to address all manner of personal problems. – Eric Klinenberg

Services d’information pour les jeunes

1. Concours Booktube Livre-toi (ANEL)
2. 5 finalistes au Prix TD (Radio-Canada)
3. À quoi ressemble une journée type sur Internet pour les jeunes de 12 à 25 ans? (Cefrio)
4. ‘Nothing short of remarkable’: Study finds parents’ chats with their toddlers pay off 10 years later (CBC)
5. ***Skim reading is the new normal. The effect on society is profound (The Guardian)
6. The American Opioid Crisis in YA Literature (School Library Journal)
7. How Game Apps That Captivate Kids Have Been Collecting Their Data (NYT)
8. ***New report highlights social impact of library-based early literacy programs (Digital Media Research Center)

The report demonstrates that public libraries are highly appropriate vehicles through which to support, facilitate, and lead early literacy development programs. While primarily built around promoting and improving early literacy, the First 5 Forever initiative is also a community facilitator and connector, supporting families and children through a culture of participation and lifelong learning. The report also highlights that the opportunities and challenges posed by digital media technologies for young children and families will be central to the future development of such initiatives.
