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
Packed with timely information, Harris’s book remains the best resource for being an effective technology mentor for students.

Reviews
"Aside from academic research,
Harris goes into the tricky territories
of social networking, music
and media sharing, and dealing
with online harassment. I Found it
on the Internet is full of ways educators,
librarians and parents can
broach these subjects with children
and adolescents in such a way that
students will be able to make their
own educated choices—and skip over the hazy, gray areas that are
so ubiquitous online."
--Curriculum Review
"The book is clearly written for library media specialists dealing with teen and young adult patrons, but the suggestions could easily be adapted to younger children, who are almost equally exposed to digital media. For new librarians, the book is very approachable, keeping issues like filtering, appropriate content, and cyberbullying fresh in their minds. This is a highly useful book because it puts all of this valuable information about media, teen patrons, and the changing face of libraries in one volume."
--School Library Journal
"A much-welcomed and invaluable resource, providing insightful clarification and guidance for working with a young, tech-savvy population. "
--Public Libraries
