This is SUCH a great resource that I stumbled across in my research. It is a handbook for librarians that breaks down copyright and the impact on 'our world'. This is a fantastic source of information!! "Copyright for Librarians: the essential handbook" is a textbook that aims to provide librarians in developing and transition countries with information concerning copyright law. It can be used as a stand-alone resource or as an adjunct to a companion online curriculum."

There's a quiet-or not so quiet-shift happening in school libraries across America. The social media revolution-reflected in all manner of shiny iPhone apps, blogs, Nings, Facebook pages, and other social networking tools, sites, and platforms-is real, and it's running like a loud line of students straight through the stacks, into the common areas, taking a sharp turn, and heading right on up to the teacher librarian/media specialist's desk.

Facebook. Flickr. Google+. Pinterest. Tumblr. Twitter. Yelp. The list of social networking sites is almost endless, bringing huge potential (and some headaches) to librarians nationwide. Will libraries continue to be able to keep up with the rapid- almost instantaneous-changes in technology and social networking? The consensus is: Yes.

At the #GoOpen Exchange on Friday, everyone was talking about OER and the need to curate. The Twiter feed shows the buzz around the trending event and it shows school librarians were at the table.
