So there you have it. He shall be known as ''Oscar.''

I ran across an article this morning on CTV news, about a situation where an employer asked a job applicant to provide his Facebook user name and password during a job interview. 

This is a perfect example of why we are talking about managing your digital footprints / digital dossiers. Many of you said that you expect a degree of privacy on social media accounts. What would you do if you were in this person's position? Would you give your username and password, or not?

We have a beautiful new betta fish here in the library, and he needs a name! I have had some great suggestions from students, so I thought we could do a little poll to determine his new name. Please vote for your favourite!


Edited: Poll has been removed as voting is now closed! Please see the most recent post for the winning name.

Did you know you can access ebooks through Tumblereadables, online, anytime? 

They have a great collection of ebooks, including chapter books AND graphic novels. Most of them also have an audiobook feature, so you can read along while
you listen!

Take some time to check it out. The login information is available from the library, or you can email me to ask. I'm pretty good about getting back  to people:
