Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: Befriending students on Facebook and My Space -the Oz perspective

[Barbara Fritz <bfritzlibrary@GMAIL.COM>]

Thank you Katherine! This is the type of solution I was hoping to get from
my original. Now I think can opt out of the Facebook fan page for our
libraries and investigate the possibility of encouraging my students to join
a site created for children rather than adults and older teens. My students
want this type of interaction with each other and I like that it will be in
a safer environment. Thanks so very much for sharing this site.
