Re: [LM_NET] Get Out of the Library

[Jeri Hurd <JHurd@KLHT.ORG>]

I heartily agree!  I spent 10 years overseas (in Turkey and Egypt) and am
now on a one-person mission to raise the educational consciousness of how
the ME is portrayed in everything from Western television to YA novels.

I realize not everyone can live overseas (grin--though it's easier to do
than you think!), but the great thing about Web 2.0 is we CAN start
leading our students to non-US focused sources of information, to raise
their awareness that there are valid, alternatives ways of viewing the
world than through the American (or European) lens.

"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous
group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the
desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution,
man. I wouldn't mess with them."    Michael Moore
