IS STOCKING LIBRARY SHELVES WITH NONFICTION CONTENT A WASTE OF MONEY? by Bill Ferriter
The article about nonfiction content was very intriguing. It was an argument over the importance of nonfiction books in libraries. It was not an attack on the occupation of the librarians, but it is all about the resources or better yet, lack of resources available in the schools, and libraries. Ferriter spoke on the lack of time available for the students to get into the topics that interested them. It was not an argument of whether or not the topics were needed, but more or less the availability of the articles and the interest the students had to the topics available for study.
“KNOWING SOMEONE” IN SOCIAL SPACES IS COMPLICATED by Bill Ferriter
People are always interacting on the internet. People have so many places that they interact with people. They learn and teach others. There is Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest to name a few. Ferriter was referring to the fact that people act differently depending on where they are. A person who follows One Direction is a major fan, may sound different from a nursing student on the class site. One cannot fully understand who a person is, unless they see someone interact in more than one place. A person on Twitter, may not act the same on Twitter. Knowing a person in more than one place will give a person a more holistic view of a person. That was the main point of the article, and I agree with that stand. My blogger lingo, may not be the same way I talk on Facebook, because it is a different audience.
