Description

ARE THE STUDENTS OF TODAY WHO VISIT OUR LIBRARIES AND THE ADULTS OF TOMORROW. THEY SERVE AS A GAUGE OF THE CHANGE THAT IS TAKING PLACE IN OUR SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, AND WORLD. As such, in 2006, the ICFL contracted Corona Research, Inc., of Denver, Colorado, to conduct a statewide survey using focus groups to determine the perceptions digital natives hold of public libraries. The participants were 12-25 years old from all areas of Idaho: urban and rural; six different geographic areas of Idaho; economically advantaged and disadvantaged communities; and the ethnically diverse. Group participants were representative in terms of age, gender, and library usage patterns.
