Today I saw this article on the ticker at the bottom of my page and had to read it. We don't often think of libraries being sued. Libraries have to have policies about internet access. But do time limits impact a person's freedom of speech? I think 2 1/2 hours per day is more than user friendly and does not impact her freedom of speech. The question is how many computers are accessable to their patrons and are they adequate for the number of people in their community that use the public library. But it definitely is an article that makes you think about policies and how they will affect your users.

Thing #20
Libraries of the future look like exciting, evolving and rapidly changing structures. They will be constantly places of action as people come together to share information, discuss, research and create new things! I enjoyed searching Teacher Tube and You Tube. I have used them before and placed videos on my facebook and myspace pages. Hope you enjoy the video of the Transformation Lab! It is one exciting experiment. Wish we could take a field trip to a library like this! :)
This is a cool video I found on researchers attempting to make shape shifting robots. Very cool idea to share with your Science students.
