web page: Pew Internet

It's serendipity, really.

I am growing amazed at the number of links to great information that I receive through my Twitter feed. I could never keep up with all the tweets, but when I do take some time to read through some, I am off on a safari for all kinds of intriguing information.

This afternoon I was reminded that my classmates and I had been encouraged to check out the Pew Research organization. So when I Michael Stephens' re-tweet about the Pew Internet's new libraries section of their site, I followed the trail.

The post was merely a notice that the Libraries division (funded by the Bill and Melanie Gates Foundation) was getting its own website. This division is working on a multiyear study of the changing role of public libraries in the digital age. 

But the page itself was a portal to an amazing array of information, data, and presentations based on the Pew research and data sets.

My eyes have been opened!
