#7 – Research paper resources
Below is a bibliography of my sources so far. Anyone interested in looking at privacy issues in the digital age, especially concerning our younger patrons should look at the Betsy Kuhn book Prying Eyes. Its well researched and well written but geared towards a teenage audience so it teaches important history, skills, and awareness while staying fast-paced and interesting.
Also, if you are interested in social network exploration, the article in Newsweek is fascinating. It looks into the phenomenon of “sexting”, aka texting nude or pornographic photos and messages. It is a huge thing with the teens and is causing all sorts of havoc for lawmakers and enforcers. Since it is involving minors, its child pornography and there are SERIOUS laws about that. And it is a big cyber-bullying problem as well.
