Over the summer, I started using Scoop.it as a way to organize news and information related to Young Adult Books. I love that they use the term 'curators' to describe their topic moderators; you really do curate the stories, selecting and discarding news items based on relevance to the topic.Users can follow your topic, subscribe to an RSS feed, share your topic on Facebook and Twitter, and even suggest an item…See More

Mike McQueen said… Greetings Eric,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
