The Oxford Interent Institute has just published the latest survey of online trends in the UK, sponsored by, amongst others, HEFCE and the British Library. It makes a very interesting read - and particularly shows how libraries are an important way for people to access the internet, particularly those who are 'lapsed' and have never used the internet. It also highlights the role of librarians as trusted guides and libraries are the third most significant source of information after the internet and friends and family.
I will need to look at this carefully - not least of which is that 77% of people use the internet at least once a month to find information about local events.
