Reading on smartphones and other devices: a survey of library professionals and students in Denmark

Bidragets oversatte titel: Læsning på smartphones og andre apparater: en undersøgelse af bibliotekarer og studerende i Danmark

Abstract

The increasingly popular smartphones change not only how we read, but also where we read. Reading on the go is not new as the printed book has long been a treasured item for entertainment during travel (Marshall 2010). Still the digitization of texts and the introduction of smartphones with reading-quality screens creates a new situation where we potentially have constant access to all kinds of reading materials. This development forms the backdrop of our survey study, conducted in Denmark in Winter 2016/2017 among library professionals and Library and Information Science students.
