Abstrakt

The development of generational belonging and identity includes the media and communication technologies. This has an individual but also a collective dimension. At an individual level, media socialization influences whether, how and what media a person uses. For instance, media socialization of young people is influenced by parents, peers, educators, and the individual and social frameworks. The library is part of these frameworks and can contribute to their users’ empowerment by offering resources and activities that promote an information competent behaviour. But growing up with media also has a collective dimension as certain media experiences have an impact on a whole generation of media users. Generations are largely influenced by characteristics of the media landscape they inherit and grow into in their formative years. For example, the media generations of so-called “Digital Natives“ (born after the 1980s) and “Silver Surfers“ (adults aged 55+ using the web on a frequent basis) grew up in quite different media landscapes. But despite these different experiences both generations do have something in common: They both use and appreciate the web for socializing and communication purposes. While the social media help “Digital Natives” with their identity management, “Silver Surfers” use the web to keep in touch with friends and relatives. This might be one starting point (among several others) for libraries to connect the competences and preferences of two different age groups in order to support intergenerational learning. My poster summarizes research evidence and characteristics of these two media generations and highlights promising starting points for intergenerational information literacy activities.
