Discovering a ‘good read’: Pathways to reading for Australian teens

该项目旨在支持学校、图书馆和图书业增加青少年的娱乐性阅读。将合适的书与合适的读者相匹配对于提高年轻人的阅读动力至关重要。然而，在塑造年轻人文本选择的复杂生态中，文化中介应该如何发挥最佳作用还不清楚。该项目预计将产生关于青少年如何发现书籍以及影响他们选择的文化因素的有力证据。预期成果包括图书馆、学校和图书业可以用来向年轻人推广澳大利亚内容的战略，并使年轻人能够更充分地参与快乐阅读的社会和经济效益。

This project aims to support the school, library, and book industries to increase teenagers’ recreational reading. Matching the right book to the right reader is essential to increase young people’s motivation to read. Yet how cultural intermediaries should operate to best effect within the complex ecologies that shape young people’s text selection is unclear. The project expects to generate robust evidence on how teens discover books and the cultural factors that influence their choices. Expected outcomes include strategies that libraries, schools, and the book industry can use to promote Australian content for young adults, and equip young people to participate more fully in the social and economic benefits of pleasure reading.
