It’s good to revisit this definition in light of this week’s work: “A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations, and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices.A participatory culture is also one in which members believe their contributions matter, and feel some degree of social con- nection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created).” From page 3 of Confronting the Challenges of […]

Teen librarians are not exactly bound by the same rules and programs which have held public libraries together for many years. Librarians working with teens have the chance to fully embrace participatory […]

Greetings from Salzburg and the Salzburg Global Seminar. I am honored to be here this week to participate as well as share the work of the group coming together to explore what participatory culture means for libraries and museums.

How can the participatory nature of the new technologies enhance the way libraries and museums and their users interact and connect? What implications do online […]
