“…While various sectors of the job market define new economy in different ways, the consensus is that the United States is now in an economic age characterized by the switch to jobs that require and/or are characterized by increased knowledge, globalization, rapid technological change, broadband or wireless telecommunications, and the digital revolution (Atkinson and Andes 2010;Bosworth and Triplett 2000;Argandoña 2003;Perrons 2004;Carnoy 2002). In a presentation to the National Association for Business Economics, Joel Mokyr (2000) made the case that the new economy is defined by a reversal of the factory system (where the definition and boundaries of living spaces and work spaces were clearly defined and separate), with more workers again working and living in the same place as they had in preindustrial times, due to technological advances in telecommunications.…”

This article examines the Internet-related responses of public libraries to the sustained economic downturn of recent years. Following a discussion of the changes to the economy and the expected skills for employment that have resulted from the advent of the Internet, this article presents the services that libraries are providing to help patrons transition to this new economy. Drawn from the findings of the 2011-2012 Public Library Funding and Technology Access Study (PLFTAS) survey and site visits to public libraries, the data demonstrate the changes in job skills and employment-seeking services since the beginning of the ongoing prolonged economic downturn and the breadth and depth of the electronic information services that libraries currently provide to users. Designed to meet the needs of the local communities that libraries serve, these services rely on the capacities of the Internet, public access technologies, and Internet-enabled services provided by the library. This article concludes with a discussion of the ways in which this research can inform broader explorations of the relationships between libraries, the Internet, the new economy, and twenty-first-century skills.

“…In addition, recent studies of the 'creative class' workers (FLORIDA, 2002) and the overall 'new economy index' (ATKINSON and CORREA, 2007) are noteworthy. The NAICS's definition is adopted in this study because it minimizes conceptual ambiguity and makes comparison between different studies easier and explicit.…”

Tu W. and Sui D. Z. A state transformed by information: Texas regional economy in the 1990s, Regional Studies. The structural change of the Texas regional economy in the 1990s is analysed using input-output and shift-share analyses. As the fastest growing economic sectors in all thirteen Texas regions, the information segment is also found to be more important as an input factor in the production processes. The 'informatization' of the Texas economy is found to be accompanied by a widening development gap between the core and the periphery region in the state. A better understanding of the dynamics of growth processes and spatial patterns of the information economy is essential to prepare for future regional development plans.

On analyse la transformation structurelle de l'economie regionale de Texas dans les annees 1990 a partir des tableaux des echanges interindustriels et d'une analyse repartition-redistribution.

Verwandlung eines Staats durch Informationen: die Regionalwirtschaft von Texas in den neunziger Jahren, Regional Studies. Wir analysieren mit Hilfe von Input-Output- und Shift-Share-Analysen die strukturellen Anderungen in der Regionalwirtschaft von Texas wahrend der neunziger Jahre. Das Informationssegment stellt in allen 13 texanischen Regionen den wichtigsten Wirtschaftssektor dar und spielt auch im Produktionsprozess als Input-Faktor eine wichtigere Rolle. Begleitet wird die 'Informatisierung' der texanischen Wirtschaft von einem wachsenden Entwicklungsgefalle zwischen den zentralen und peripheren Regionen des Staates. Zur kunftigen Planung der Regionalentwicklung ist ein besseres Verstandnis der Dynamik der Wachstumsprozesse und raumlichen Muster der Informationswirtschaft unverzichtbar.

“…The State New Economy Index (Atkinson & Andes, 2008) measures the global competitiveness of states within the US. According to this index, the ''new'' economy and the one toward which states should strive (along the same lines as Porter's ''innovation-driven'' economy) is described as ''a global, entrepreneurial, and knowledge-based economy in which the keys to success lie in the extent to which knowledge, technology, and innovation are embedded in products and services'' (Atkinson & Andes, 2008, p.3).…”
