\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 October 29, 2013 — National experts will join Rhode Island librarians, educators and business professionals for a daylong examination of how digital media is creating disruptive change \u2013 and opportunity \u2013 for the state\u2019s key institutions. <\/p>\n


\nFrom Ranganathan to Read\/Write: Managing Digital Disruption in Libraries, Schools and Workplaces, will take place Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Pharmacy, 7 Greenhouse Road, Kingston Campus.

\n\u201cThanks to the Internet and digital media, boundaries among readers and writers are dissolving not just in libraries, but in schools and the workplace as well,\u201d says Renee Hobbs, founding director of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Harrington School of Communication & Media, which has organized the symposium. \u201cThe work of educators, workplace media professionals, technologists and librarians encompasses new intersections and synergies. We have much to learn from (and with) each other.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe symposium will include circle-round discussion, breakouts, a film and digital tools presentations. It kicks off the education component of a research project funded by a $50,000 planning grant from the Rhode Island Foundation called \u201cDigital City Rhode Island.\u201d The project seeks to establish the state within a decade as an East Coast hub for digital media design, production and education.<\/p>\n


\nWhy the name Raganathan? In 1931, Indian mathematician and librarian S.R. Ranganathan proposed five laws widely accepted as foundational to library science and practice: (1) Books are for use. (2) Every reader his [or her] book. (3) Every book its reader. (4) Save the time of the reader. (5) The library is a growing organism. <\/p>\n


\n \u201cAll institutions \u2013 libraries, schools, workplaces \u2013 have legacy rules now being disrupted by Internet-spawned, digital-media driven, read-write culture or marketplaces,\u201d says Bill Densmore, a consulting researcher to 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Harrington School of Communication & Media who is working on the Digital City Rhode Island effort. \u201cWe want to ask the question: How might we use the challenge of modernizing Ranganathan\u2019s Laws to react to the blurring boundaries among readers, writers, librarians and creative media professionals in multiple environments?\u201d<\/p>\n


\nDigital-media researchers, students and concerned citizens are welcome to join the event by registering. <\/p>\n


\nKey participants from the states of Washington, New York, Connecticut and Georgia, will include: <\/p>\n


\n\u2022\tKaren A. Perry, a principal, Clarion Digital, former senior program officer, Libraries, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation <\/p>\n


\n\u2022\tTroy Hicks, assistant professor, Central Michigan University, National Writing Project and author, \u201cCrafting Digital Writing\u201d and \u201cThe Digital Writing Workshop\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u2022\tSydnye Cohen, technology integrator, New Canaan [Conn.] High School and former library media specialist<\/p>\n
