YALSA's bloggers will be taking the spookiness out of social networking technologies with their "31 Positive Uses of Social Networking."  Each day on YALSA's blog will be a new post about a different way that social networking technologies can be used with youth in a positive, educational way in libraries, schools and homes.  You can access the blog at http://blogs.ala.org/yalsa.php.  
 
To get the background on social networking as well as some tips and ideas for educating your library users and community about it, go to http://www.ala.org/yalsa and find other useful resources and download
