OCLC releases new international research study New release (Oct 22)
OCLC has released a report on Sharing, Privacy and Trust in Our Networked World
It examines:
* Web user practices and preferences on their favorite social sites
* User attitudes about sharing and receiving information on social spaces, commercial sites and library sites
* Information privacy; what matters and what doesn't
* U.S. librarian social networking practices and preferences; their views on privacy, policy and social networks for libraries
"The report is based on a survey (by Harris Interactive on behalf of OCLC) of the general public from six countries—Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States—and of library directors from the U.S."
Available for download at www.oclc.org/reports/sharing/ as the complete report (over 250 pages) or by section. Can also order a print copy for a price.
