This is awesome Cathy! Thanks for sharing - the whole mashup idea as a way to make library materials more accessible is definitely worth pursuing! I would love to see more of the "Flip Explorer" interface but I can't get the links to work... Thanks for any guidance around this... Rene

Abstract Readers of fiction tend to have better abilities of empathy and theory of mind (Mar et al., 2006). We present a study designed to replicate this finding, rule out one possible explanation, and extend the assessment of social outcomes. In order to rule out the role of personality, we first identified Openness as the most consistent correlate. This trait was then statistically controlled for, along with two other important individual differences: the tendency to be drawn into stories and gender. Even after accounting for these variables, fiction exposure still predicted performance on an empathy task. Extending these results, we also found that exposure to fiction was positively correlated with social support. Exposure to nonfiction, in contrast, was associated with loneliness, and negatively related to social support.

A great site that encourages students to think about their digital footprint. (Thanks to Dr. Joanne DeGroot, University of Alberta for the link!)
