“…Future research should therefore focus upon understanding the link between different reading activities and the different components of reading developed by different types of text. Similarly, future research might also investigate whether other skills are developed when young people engage in reading other text types (in a spirit similar to the work of Coiro & Dobler, 2007) and the differences between digital and traditional forms of Link between fiction and reading skills 197 reading material (as per Duncan et al, 2015). Finally, the focus within this article has been 15-year-olds within developed (OECD) countries only.…”

It is well known that children who read more tend to achieve higher scores in academic reading tests. Much less is known, however, about the link between reading different types of text and young people's reading performance. We investigate this issue using the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009 database, exploring the association between the frequency with which teenagers read five different types of text (magazines, non‐fiction, fiction, newspapers and comics) and their PISA reading scores. Analysing data from more than 250,000 teenagers from across 35 industrialised countries, we find evidence of a sizeable ‘fiction effect’; young people who read this type of text frequently have significantly stronger reading skills than their peers who do not. In contrast, the same does not hold true for the four other text types. We therefore conclude that encouraging young people to read fiction may be particularly beneficial for their reading skills. Interventions encouraging fiction reading may be especially important for boys from disadvantaged socio‐economic backgrounds, who are less likely to read this text type.

“…Another study which looks at students' exposure to both printed and digital texts also found that gender and ecological factor such as print exposure are important determinants in reading comprehension skills development among adolescent readers from various socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds [3]. Female students were found to read more than the male students though this reading frequency does not necessarily reflect satisfactory reading skills mastery.…”

Paper and pencil is now being increasingly replaced with the screen and keyboard. The scenario of the current reading adventure is made more advanced with the advent of digitised materials. This study investigates the reading preferences and behaviours of a group of logistics undergraduate students at two private colleges in Malaysia. The investigation revolves around their format preferences when reading academic materials, and the contextual influences that may affect their behaviours. The responses from 125 respondents are solicited through an online tool called Academic Reading Questionnaire. The findings reveal that the respondents still prefer printed reading texts to the electronic ones particularly for learning purposes. However, numerous factors affect their reading behaviours such as ease of access to the materials, cost, intricacy and importance of the reading texts to the course.

“…La discusión sobre el futuro de la lectura ya no se centra en la desaparición del libro, entrando en escena otros temas como los nuevos soportes y los nuevos hábitos de lectura motivados por el crecimiento del uso de dispositivos digitales (Duncan, McGeown, Griffiths, Stothard, & Dobai, 2016;Pinto, Pouliot, & Antonio Cordón-García, 2014;Shimray, Keerti, & Ramaiah, 2015;Wang, Chiu, Ho, & Lo, 2016). Así, como primera conclusión se puede afirmar que los hábitos de lectura sufren cambios considerables cuando se hacen desde soportes electrónicos.…”

Resumen. Actualmente las bibliotecas se enfrentan a muchos desafíos, pero también a nuevas oportunidades. El actual panorama del libro y de la información requiere de las bibliotecas nuevas acciones encaminadas a dar nuevas respuestas adaptadas a las actuales necesidades de los ciudadanos. El estudio de carácter exploratorio presenta un mapa de tendencias del trabajo realizado en bibliotecas y que se puede aplicar a diferentes escenarios independientemente de su tipo (universitaria, pública o escolar), su dimensión o el entorno en que trabaje (digital o física), dependiente de las necesidades de cada comunidad. La principal aportación de este estudio es la constatación de que las bibliotecas siguen siendo espacios con una gran importancia social y como sus espacios y sus actividades de carácter multidisciplinar muestran su flexibilidad para adaptarse a las nuevas necesidades, gustos o intereses cambiantes de los ciudadanos. Palabra Clave: bibliotecas; lectura digital; bibliotecas digitales; participación ciudadana; formación permanente[en] Adaptability, socialization and resilience: towards a new concept of library Abstract. Currently, libraries face many challenges, but also new opportunities. The recent panorama of books and information requires libraries to take new actions designed to give new answers adapted to the current citizens' needs. This exploratory study presents a trend map for the librarian sector applicable to different scenarios regardless of the target (university, public or school), its dimension or the environment in which it works (digital or physical), depending on the needs of each community. The main contribution of this study is to confirm that libraries remain as a place with a great social importance and demonstrated that through open spaces and multidisciplinary activities there is a flexibility to adapt depending of the needs, tastes or interests of the citizens.
