Brown and Duguid reading

Our reaction to anything new in our environment is that of suspicion and mistrust. This is basic human nature: we are afraid of the unknown and show reluctance in embracing change.
Before introducing new technology in libraries, librarians should be cognizant of our native unwillingness to deal with a new situation; there should perhaps be some tutorials and tools which would help users get comfortable with using new technology.

This blog for kids has fun ideas for Haloween and the Fall season. There is a yummy recipe for 'Pumpkin cookies' . Kids can wash the cookies down with 'Pumpkin punch' (recipe appears on the blog). The blog gives information about a website offering fun ideas for Fall--crafts, games, pumpkin carving etc.
