Two Recent Presentations from the Staff of the Pew Internet & American Life Project

Here are the slide decks from two recent presentations by members of the Pew Internet & American Life Team. As always, they are both worthy of your attention.

1) Trends in medical searches online: How e-patients use the internet

New trend charts showing how e-patients use the internet and search for health information online. This presentation was delivered by Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Internet & American Life Project on October 27, 2009;

The slides are located directly below the summary.

2) State of the Internet 2009: Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries

From the Summary:

As the internet population has matured over time, binary distinctions between those who are online and offline have given way to a more robust understanding of the assets, actions and attitudes that affect user experience. Nearly ten years' worth of 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 these changes will have on libraries and other institutions in the future.

This presentation was delivered on October 2, 2009 by Mary Madden at the Metropolitan New York Library Council. The slides themselves are located directly below the event summary.
