Harris, F.J. (2011). I Found it on the Internet: Coming of Age Online (2nd ed.). Chicago, IL: American Library Association.
Today’s teens immerse themselves in the world of technology as never before. But texting, tweeting, chatting, blogging, and other social networking largely occur in a free-for-all environment of unbridled access; quality takes a backseat to quantity. To help librarians, educators, and parents step in to guide teens’ decision making, Frances Jacobson Harris offers a thoroughly updated edition of her classic book, including
- Advice on how to help young people make good decisions, especially in such thorny areas as music and media sharing
- Tools for formulating information and communication policies, with research and commentary on the latest technology
- Practical ways of dealing with the problematic issues of hacking, cheating, privacy, harassment, and access to inappropriate content
