Links

Here is a set of random links...first in a while, but lets me clear a bunch of tabs...

• Knowing how to find out, Rory Litwin of Library Juice press has a great post about librarians and finding out.

• Facebook and privacy settings.

• Here is an interesting take from a school librarian for a Jewish school on various social media sites. (Oh, and it is a wiki rather than a blog...)

• Why Banning Social Media Often Backfires [need I say more?]

• Nice article from Boston.com about the new library director at Boston Public Library. Having grown up in Massachusetts, and spent time in Wisconsin (not far from Minneapolis/St. Paul), I can really identify with a lot of the comments on culture in this piece.

• Stephen Abram has a great chart on the role of libraries in life-long learning. He got it from Minitex, and was done by my friend Jennifer Hootman! Way to go, Hoot!

• Finally, an interesting take on teens and Twitter from mk Eagle [spelling from the blog] on the YALSA blog. Interesting perspective presented here.
