Non-Partisan Political Sites

My friend and colleague from Indiana, Mollie (the Meditating Librarian), made a great post to her library's blog about non-partisan campaign info. If you like to hear (or in this case READ) a balanced view of the presidential candidates, check out this information. Since Molly did such a good job of succinctly listing the information, I'll use her words here:



"The PBS blog, Media Shift, had a helpful article this week, Political Fact-Check Sites Proliferate, But Can They Break Through the Muck? The non-partisan, fact-checking sites recommended are Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org, the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly's PolitiFact and the Washington Post's Fact Checker blog."

Thanks for the good info, Mollie!

Social Networking Communities and e-Dating Services

A brand new reference book from IGI Publications is now avaiable. Social Networking Communities and e-Dating Services includes several chapters on a variety of topics and would make a great addition to research libraries and/or those public libraries interested in building their "information science" collection. And as if that's not good enough reason to buy it, MY CHAPTER is included in it! (No, I don't get any kick-backs from sales. I'm just excited about the book, and I believe it is a very timely topic.)

Go to this URL to view details about the reference book that includes my chapter, "Teens and Social Networking Services: An Overview" (chapter 9). http://www.igi-pub.com/reference/details.asp?ID=8010&v=preface
