This article extends prior work investigating public youth librarians’ efforts to incorporate digital media technologies into youth programming. We conducted interviews and focus groups with 92 youth-serving library staff working in public libraries across the United States. Using connected learning as a theoretical framework, our analysis revealed various ways that technology is used in youth-focused library programming, providing youth with opportunities to collaborate with peers and adults, to pursue their interests, and to exercise creativity through production-centered activities. Our analysis also revealed specific challenges facing public youth librarians in their efforts to leverage digital and networked technologies to create equitable, inclusive learning environments. This article contributes new empirical evidence demonstrating the specific roles that librarians can play in creating rich, technology-enabled environments for diverse youth patrons and the resources and supports librarians need to succeed in their efforts.

本文扩展了先前的工作,调查了公共青年图书馆员将数字媒体技术纳入青年节目制作的工作。我们对全美公共图书馆的92位青年服务图书馆工作人员进行了访谈和焦点小组讨论。通过将关联学习作为理论框架,我们的分析揭示了在以青年为中心的图书馆编程中使用技术的各种方式,从而为青年提供了与同龄人和成年人合作,追求他们的兴趣并通过以生产为中心的活动来发挥创造力的机会。我们的分析还揭示了公共青年图书馆员在利用数字技术和网络技术创造公平,包容的学习环境方面面临的具体挑战。
