10. “GOOD DATA WON'T GUARANTEE
GOOD DECISIONS”
• Analytic skills are concentrated in too few
employees
• IT needs to spend more time on the “I” and
less on the “T.”
• Reliable information exists, but it’s hard to
locate
• Business executives don’t manage
information as well as they manage talent,
capital, and brand.

Professional Librarians = Information and Digital Literacy Experts
22 million kids are eligible to attend 21st CCLC programs nationally, but funding allows for only 1.6 million to participate. Afterschool Programs - An additional 18.5 million would participate if a quality program were available in their community.Kaiser Family Foundation Study (2010) These and other factors, Ferguson maintains, establish home environments and lifestyles that orient young people toward certain media behaviors, literacy practices, and learning dispositions that contribute to disparate educational outcomes.(Ferguson 2006). Sample of Study FindingsBooks are the only media that white youth own more of than do African-American or Latino youth. Black and Latino youth are more likely than their white, Asian, and Latino counterparts to report that at home they watch television more than they participate in any other activity.Use of every type of media has increased over the past 10 years, with the exception of reading.
