Multitasking teens can talk on their cell phones while instant messaging, then toggle between discussion board, blog, and e-mail account, possibly collaborate on a project, or more likely "chat" with friends. If technology is ever-present for this "wireless" generation, what is the best way to share lessons about online content, behavior, and ethics with these digital natives? Recognizing that teens are still teens, author and educator Jacobson draws together tools for reflection, along with the latest research and practical solutions. In this authoritative guide, she helps library colleagues understand and address the issues relating to youth and technology, answering these key questions: How can you instill appropriate values in teens as they travel an ambiguous and ever-changing cyber-landscape? Why must teens make responsible, ethical decisions based on their own critical evaluation of sources? How do you deal with hacking, cheating, privacy, harassment, and access to inappropriate content? What are Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and how can libraries incorporate them into new policies for teen-friendly tech spaces?


Presenting thoughtful and common-sense solutions for high school, middle school, and public youth librarians, I Found It on the Internet is a proactive guide that addresses challenging technological issues facing teens and the librarians who serve them.
