British Library Investigates Computer Use

July 2, 2008 - Staff

The British Library has launched a new research project seeking to understand how we use computers in our daily lives and how information is shared  through blogs, emails and photo-sharing sites.

Dr Jeremy Leighton John, the British Library’s Curator of e-Manuscripts and the Principal Investigator of the ‘Digital Lives’ project, says: “More and more people are creating, acquiring and holding digital information on their desktops, laptops and hand-held devices. We need to begin to understand the way people capture, maintain and share digital information, the legal and ethical environment in which they do so, including perceptions and realities of ownership, and the impact of new technologies on recording our lives.”

Researchers are inviting computer users to complete an online survey or to sent in details of technologies and online services relevant for capturing, retaining and sharing digital information to digital.lives@bl.uk.
