Essential Library of the Information Age

The way we think about information has changed dramatically in recent years. Data flows across the planet at the speed of light via the Internet, and people establish whole new identities online. The new digital world has also introduced a wide array of controversies. Questions surrounding net neutrality, privacy, copyright, and censorship fill today's headlines. Essential Library of the Information Age features compelling text, well-chosen photographs, and extensive back matter, providing a balanced view of these contentious issues.

REVIEW: Teens increasingly rely on the Internet to express themselves, communicate with others, and get information. Delighted with the potential, many are unaware of the hazards and traps that await them. . . . They need to learn the pros and cons of net neutrality, copyright laws, and big data. These topics, among others, are clearly presented with examples that relate to the students’ lives. This set uses relevant examples of young people dealing with the digital world. The attractive layout includes informative photos and sidebars to present new material. Highly Recommended.
