<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:myriad-pro">eBooks. Websites. Blogs. Twitter. Facebook. Many of us are awash in digital information, and in the early 21st century much of our reading has migrated from
print on paper to text on screens. What has been little understood or even recognized is the way that our reading habits are affected by the medium that we use. This is starting to change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:myriad-pro">Recent scholarship has inspired articles and media reports (see links below), and awareness is growing that our choice in reading technology - printed book,
Kindle, iPad, computer monitor - makes an important difference in our understanding and retention of what we read.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:myriad-pro">Since eBooks began to appear, but especially after Amazon introduced the Kindle, demand from our patrons has meant that librarians are busy selecting, acquiring,
and loaning digital books. But few of us have stopped to consider the implications for readers of the new formats. On September 30, a collaborative of library service agencies are sponsoring Reading Redefined: Deep reading, learning, and the impact of digitization,
a one-day symposium to discuss the ways that reading is changing as our environment and interactions become ever more digital. We are excited to have Maryanne Wolf and Natalie Phillips as plenary speakers. They are both preeminent researchers in the field.
In addition to their own published research, they have been featured in numerous articles and interviews. Links to some of these can be found below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
