“The author describes how "information and communication technologies" (Internet, chat, IM, blogs, social networking) play a big role in teens' social lives and impact how they seek information (whether on a formal or informal basis). She discusses ways that librarians can teach teens to learn how to separate the online wheat from the chaff. Also, regulating teens' actions online goes beyond filters and rules of conduct. They must also learn online ethics in order to become intelligent citizens of the virtual world. To that end, librarians must accept and understand ICT as an essential part of library service.”
