different from any other profession in the respect that there are various organizations all of which appeal to different aspects of their profession. Three such organizations for the librarian are the American Library Association, the American Association of School Librarians, and the Alabama School Library Association. The benefits of becoming a member in one, or all, of these associations can far outweigh the costs of maintaining an active membership. Many people wonder why there are so…

To aid in the analysis of this paper, I used case studies and scrutinized the concepts provided by different media thinkers and library researchers. They were evaluated according to relevance, timeliness and accuracy. There are a number of possibilities that libraries can build on in Participatory Culture.
