Digital media literacy continues to be an important part of a public libraries work. The public library in Kreurtal developed a project, which is supposed to reach all age groups and which's focus is not to just consume digital media, but to understand, produce and to develop a closer relationship with them. The conditions, motivations, activities, and implementation will be covered in the following article.

While summer camps provide children a unique experience away from home, this environment may lead to increased and unsupervised use of digital media. Camps’ policies and leaderships’ views on digital media consumption in camps are currently unknown. To elucidate current trends, we partnered with CampDoc.com to survey a national sample of camp leadership about digital media policies and practices. A single response was selected from each camp and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Free text responses reflecting on positive and negative experiences with digital media were assessed using thematic analysis. We received 722 responses from 363 of the 950 camps within the Camp Doc network. Respondents represented camps in 45 states in the United States. Internet and cell service were available in 22.3% and 34.7% of camps, respectively. Approximately 60% of camps reported a digital media policy for campers and staff. Most policies (67.9%) did not allow use of digital media devices. Camp leadership reported that smartphones (51.3%) and social media apps (42.2%) were most difficult to restrict. Qualitative themes focused on the benefits of digital media for creativity and connection, but also the interruption of camp experiences. Camp personnel described positive media uses aligned with American Academy of Pediatrics media guidelines, for teaching creativity, acquiring new skills, and understanding the value of unplugging for creating social connections. Although most camps have policies restricting digital media use, complete restriction may be difficult.

Young people's engagement with digital media presents new opportunities, needs, and challenges for libraries and for the education of librarians. This article discusses insights from a recent study on digital youth and considers implications for libraries. Two important roles for libraries are stressed: providing young people with dynamic contexts for learning with digital media and providing young people with opportunities to learn and practice new media literacy skills. An innovative library program (YouMedia) is described as a research-informed model for what is possible. Implications for Library and Information Science education are also considered.

According Gartner, media industries are the third largest spender in IT infrastructure, software, and hardware after banking and manufacturing industries. Newcomers in media industries utilize latest technologies to produce, manage, and distribute their content in a way the consumer would like to enjoy digital content with their rich new content offerings. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or Google are just the prime examples for companies attracting many new consumers with their innovative content offerings. Their IT infrastructures are centred on the management of digital content throughout their software solutions to manage digital rights, apply data mining, or their customer relationship management software. Within the scope of this position paper the challenge is to pinpoint to the importance of defining a research agenda on information systems and management in creative media industries, to create a holistic vision of eMedia industries in total a€“ from traditional towards fully digital media industries.

In most of the European Union (EU) countries, including Spain, there has been an increase in the number of inhabitants aged 55 years or older. As of 2014, in the EU (27) more than 65% of the population uses the internet daily. However, among the elderly, the percentage is drastically lower. This type of occurrence is found in technologically advanced societies, and turns the older citizens into a forgotten collective. With the digital divide (defined as physical access to the internet) surmounted in these countries, a new divide is becoming apparent in terms of personal use and societal participation. In this article, through the use of multivariate analysis techniques, we identify a new divide in Andalusia, Spain, with respect to the frequency of access to new media and the use citizens make of them. We will discuss the influence of the elderly's immediate environment as a source of opportunity for the Information and Communication Technologies to improve our quality of life and as a medium for more active social participation.

Like previous editions, the 5th edition of Management of Electronic and Digital Media is an excellent information resource for anybody responsible for electronic and digital media. In terms of content it is certainly well pitched and suited for its target audiences: undergraduate and graduate students. I find the price of US$165.95 very expensive, and although an excellent publication, I am not sure if I can recommend it as good value. That being said, it is the kind of textbook that made me realise again how many interesting topics there are for teaching, and the value of a well-structured textbook, pulling key issues together in one publication for the benefit of lecturers and students.

This paper examines managerial control and the tensions caused by digital open practices. Drawing on qualitative interviews with managers of a prominent Swedish newspaper corporation, we apply the theoretical lens of institutional logics to analyse the institutional tensions stemming from pressure to integrate user-generated content, and the strategies for managing multiple logics that emerge as a result. Specifically, by linking managerial control to the logics of profession', the market' and the corporation', we use the concept of ventriloquism to show how managers recreate professional legitimacy when handling digital open practices by letting the corporate logic mimic the values of the profession. The study at hand contributes to the understanding of how digital open practices leverage managerial and corporate control, and the consequences thereof, and how the newspaper industry still has not fully managed to reconcile with user-generated content. Prior research is inconclusive as to whether digital open practices increase or decrease managerial control. This study concludes that framing the market logic in digital media exerts pressure on managers to find a defensive compromise to cope with unresolved tensions between the corporate and professional logics.

This study explores the motivations for why people disconnect from social media and the challenges they experience in doing so. Drawing on 30 in-depth interviews with current and past social media users aged 21-39, the study finds that people discontinue, take breaks from, or change their use of social media for various reasons (e.g., lack of interest, overuse and overload, privacy concerns, social influences, keeping a work-life balance), but disconnection experiences vary greatly across individuals as well as within individuals over time. Notably, disconnection does not always follow negative experiences with social media, but can also be triggered by important life transitions or broader lifestyle choices. People also experience various practical, social, and societal challenges, making disconnection not always desirable or possible. Ultimately, this study gives insight into the factors that contribute to people's complex and ambivalent relationship with social media. Thereby, it extends our understanding of the ever-evolving uses and perceptions of social media in a time where digital media is omnipresent.

Despite its potential evidentiary value, presenting information from social media in the courtroom poses practical challenges. Various legal, ethical, and forensic issues tied to social media evidence have international relevance, as judicial authorities globally navigate the same technological landscape. This article presents the results of an exploratory cross-sectional questionnaire survey conducted among active civil litigation and criminal defense lawyers in Poland (n = 278) in January 2021. The results confirm that social media content is present in Polish courtrooms and perceived by practitioners as potentially valuable evidence in all types of civil and criminal court cases. A content analysis of the comments from the study's participants revealed four key themes concerning their perception of social media evidence: (a) a lack of knowledge on how to properly present such content, (b) judges' reluctance towards accepting this type of evidence, (c) a problematic absence of legal regulations for accessing and gathering social media evidence, and (d) the presence of a significant amount of legally relevant information in social media content. To better manage social media evidence, there is a need for clear, understandable guidelines for lawyers and judicial authorities, in addition to the development of foren-sically sound methods of handling this type of evidence.

Media have been the poster child for all the major effects of digitisation: new consumer experiences as well as new ways of manufacturing, product distribution and monetisation. Media businesses have also been a focus for understanding the potential disruption that markets and companies can experience through the increased use of digital technology. This paper argues that media have a special relationship with digital technology, and the commercial disruption that media companies experience arises from the historical organisation of pre-digital media businesses into product creation and distribution arms, rather than seeing products and distribution as two indivisible aspects of the 'media experience'. For media companies to thrive in the digital age and avoid the major effects of disruption, a tighter integration of media production and distribution is required, based on an organisation that brings creative and technological expertise together in a process of continual reinvention of total media experience.
