Abstract A rich literature examines how information spreads through social networks to influence life opportunities. However, receiving information does not guarantee its use in decision making. This article analyzes information evaluation as a fundamental component of social network mobilization. The case of school choice, where the value of information may be more uncertain, brings this evaluative dimension to the forefront. Interviews with 55 parents in Boston show how parents selecting schools assess their social network ties as information sources, privileging information from those they perceive to have affinity and authority. These evaluative criteria map onto disparate networks to engender unequal mobilization of this information. The findings illuminate mechanisms sustaining inequality in social network mobilization and reorient scholars to consider processes underlying information use alongside information diffusion to attain a more complete understanding of how network resources are mobilized in action.

Notes I am grateful to those who provided feedback on this project at earlier stages, including Bart Bonikowski, Allison Daminger, Stefanie DeLuca, Shelley Kimelberg, Devah Pager, Mario Small, and Sandra Susan Smith. All errors and omissions are my own. This research would not have been possible without generous support from the Joblessness and Urban Poverty Research Program at the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy, the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University, and the Boston Area Research Initiative.
