About this title

About the Author:

ELIZABETH B. MILLER is a Field Experience Coordinator for the School Library Media Program, College of Library and Information Science, at the University of South Carolina, Columbia.

From School Library Journal:

Today librarians are faced with identifying Web sites, verifying that the domain name has not been sold to a pornography company, determining the content (which may change from month to month), and discovering a way to keep all of the "good" links organized. There are companies that specialize in Web site identification. For those who do not have a subscription to such a service, the most practical solution is to purchase books that will guide teachers and students to the best URLs. This book provides more than 270 new and updated entries to those listed in the 2000/2001 edition. Lesson-plan databases are cited in the "Resources for Educators" chapter. One chapter is specifically for the school library. Topics include staff development ideas, Web pages designed by librarians, acceptable-use policies, intellectual freedom and censorship, technology plans, and online discussion groups. Indexes are by Web site and subject.
