Meet Your ALASC Co-chair and Webmaster for 2012-2013
Who has two thumbs and…okay, I can’t stand the “two thumbs” question.
I’m really honored to have been elected as Co-chair and Webmaster for the SJSU ALA Student Chapter for 2012-2013. I will be working with an exceptional group of officers and hope to continue the rich tradition that has made SJSU ALASC an award-winning organization in years past.

from @LibraryLorax … Catholic school humor meets Star Wars geekdom … I have the same reaction!
“You know you went to Catholic school when you hear “#mayfourth be with you” and your first response is ‘and also with you.’”

Are Education/Reference Sites More Dangerous Than Online Pornography?
Security software vendor Symantec recently released its annual Internet Security Threat Report, which “provides an overview and analysis of the year in global threat activity.” In the latest report, Symantec has included an index of the Top Ten Most Dangerous Website Categories, as measured by the frequency and volume of website malware infections. As an MLIS student, I was shocked and disturbed to learn that Education/Reference is ranked as the #5 most dangerous website category.
To put this in perspective, Pornography is ranked #10.
