Amazon, OverDrive, Kindle and libraries

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Given the shift towards public and institutional libraries moving towards the eBook work, this raises some interesting questions.

See Amazon, OverDrive, and Kindle! Oh my! | The Digital Immigrant.

(P.S. Not entirely convinced by Auckland Library’s Overdrive link up in terms of pragmatics – just too fiddly and unfriendly to struggle with.)

Reconsidering Digital Immigrants…

Friday, December 7th, 2007

A couple of times I’ve found it useful to use Marc Prensky’s concepts of the digital native and digital immigrant to make points in things I’ve written. As one reviewer noted of one of these pieces, these are helpful concepts but can’t be realized as absolute categories, which I agree with entirely. The adoption or uptake of digital technologies is far more complicated than seeing people as either ‘natives’ or ‘immigrants’.

Prensky’s work was originally situated in discussions about education, and in particular, perceived differences between teachers and students in terms of familiarity with and use of digital technology. Now, several years on, Henry Jenkins has an interesting article on the relevance and helpfulness of the terminology.
