ARTS & LETTERS DAILY
I can't say enough good things about "Arts & Letters Daily," a service of the Chronicle of Higher Education.
It's a compendium of articles, book reviews, and essays from a wide variety of print and online sources. If you've ever wished for a one-stop go-to place for finding the best writing in the areas of literature, philosophy, music, art, language, literature, and criticism, this is the place for you.

VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE
Fifty years after the opening of the Anne Frank House museum, which has more than a million visitors every year, the museum is launching an online virtual tour of the space where Anne and her family hid from the Nazis for two years. The online tour displays the space in detail, including photographs on the wall, the print on bedspreads, the tiny kitchen, and the cramped space where the eight-member family lived in daily fear of discovery.
Anne, her sister, her parents, and others hiding in the space were arrested in August of 1944 after their location was betrayed by an unknown informant. Otto Frank, Anne's father, was the only family member to survive. He posthumously published his daughter's diary.

HAS FACEBOOK GONE "ROGUE?"
This provides some food for thought. Anyone who has used Facebook has had the experience of setting and resetting and struggling with a complex and ever-changing range of privacy seettings. Here's what one writer at Wired magazine has to say about all this:

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS!!!
Okay, the semester is winding down, and we hope that our students and other patrons (but students especially!) are beginning to breathe easier and feel the relief of that summer break on the horizon.
And we thought it would be a good time to ask:
_________________________________________________
What did you like about the library this year?
What worked for you?
And what didn't?
If you had the power to change something(s) about the library, what changes would you make?

Please share your thoughts and ideas with us! Thanks!!!
