De Gruyter · Proposing a Conceptual Framework for Social Listening in Libraries: A Potential Game Changer to Engage Gen Z and Centennial UsersThis study explores the evolving needs of Generation Z (Gen Z) and Generation Alpha (Gen Alpha) users in the context of libraries, emphasizing the critical role of social listening as a tool for engagement. Social listening, a technique used by professionals to track online conversations and mentions about brands, products, and services, offers valuable insights into user preferences and behaviors. With Gen Z being the first to grow up with seamless access to the internet and Gen Alpha following closely, both generations exhibit distinct characteristics that challenge traditional methods of user engagement. These users prioritize digital interaction over physical spaces, reshaping how libraries function and the relevance of conventional services. Libraries are facing existential threats as they struggle to adapt to this generational shift, with traditional physical collections and spaces giving way to digital environments. This article aims to review existing literature on generational cohort, proposing a conceptual framework that integrates social listening into library management strategies. The framework will help library professionals better engage with these tech-savvy users, ensuring libraries’ survival and continued relevance in a rapidly digitizing world.

My kid just introduced me to “glaze” as in slang for empty over-praising/gushing to the point of making the recipient cringe.

At first I thought it was glaise, as in a portmanteau of praise and some gl- word, but it comes from glazing a cake.

I really like it, I feel like it fills a minor gap (I also really liked yeet for the same reason)

Daniel D'Addario, a writer for @Variety and lifelong cinephile, can't get his four-year-old daughter Cleo to love movies. He attributes it to a number of factors, but mainly the fact that she's accustomed to control when it comes to entertainment — fast-forwarding, rewinding, personalizing the experience. Here's his essay on his love of cinema, and his hopes that she'll come around to his way of thinking, eventually.
