As libraries consider expanding their presence online and connecting with patrons on their own terms, they often need data to make tough decisions about how to spend limited budgets and human resources on developing new library services. Research conducted by The Pew Internet & American Life Project examines the growing role of technology in our lives, our changing expectations about how to find and use information, and the impact younger generations will have on libraries and other institutions in the future. Her talk will also touch on Web 2.0, privacy, and the changing demographics of library users.

Mary Madden is a Senior Research Specialist with the Pew Internet & American Life Project in Washington, D.C. She has worked with Pew since the spring of 2002, and has authored a wide range of reports covering changing trends in technology and media use. Her recent reports have examined the burgeoning field of online identity management, the adoption of online video, and the arc of teen content creation fueled by social media. She has been interviewed by, The New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, among others, regarding her research. She holds an M.A. in Communication, Culture and Technology from Georgetown University and a B.A. in English from The University of Florida.
