iHCPL : Week 2 : Thing 3

In answer to the question from iStar (http://ihcpl.blogspot.com/), “How comfortable are you sharing online?”

My answer is less so that I used to be now that I’ve leaned all these scary things from the cautionary tale that the Free Range Librarian's blog referred to about getting “dooced.” What if my boss looks up the word on Urban Dictionary and finds it displayed next to a banner that makes uncomplimentary reference to her favorite baseball team?

I hereby pledge not only not to post any personal information but also to abide by the Scout Law (http://www.scouting.org/factsheets/02-503a.html) and the Booklist Selection Policy (http://www.ala.org/ala/booklist/insidebooklist/booklistpolicy/booklistselection.htm). In other words I shall only post positive and uplifting sentiments and reviews of books that have redeeming social value. And if I don’t have anything nice to say I shall remain silent on the subject, at least in print.

But seriously, folks, why would I want to do anything that would not strengthen communities and enrich lives?
