The Importance of What Your Librarian Taught You
I remember Mrs. Jira, my freshmen English teacher/librarian. You do remember librarians, right? Those unicorn-like creatures that are being eliminated from school systems because ALL they do is check out books.... Okay. So I'm bitter. I am a former librarian....turned technology teacher....turned consultant. I love my job, but I have to poke with my stick every now and then. BACK to topic. Your librarian taught you some great stuff, and you might not have even noticed. Librarians have been finding things no one else can find for years. So here we are in the Twenty-first Century (living in a world with more information before), and we don't teach people how to FIND things on the Internet. Logical. Here's a few things EVERYONE should know about finding things on the Internet. Most people "google" information. They type a few things into the Google search engine and peek at the results. Most people only access information they find on the FIRST page
