I really enjoyed the 2008 state of the library report. I was glad that they discussed school libraries in particular, I feel like a lot of the time when I look up information on libraries, library media centers aren't discussed. That being said, I also enjoyed the discussion of gaming in the library, I think that it's really great that public libraries are appealing to young adults in this way.
I spent some time poking around the NOVEL database and can't believe that we have access to all of those databases for free as New Yorkers. I recognize the names of many of those databases from schools that I have visited, and it made me wonder if those schools were taking advantage of the free subscription.
The discussion on copyright has me a little scared, especially when they mentioned such high fines that can be associated with the cases. I can't imagine costing a school district $5 million, the way that an LA district was forced to pay!
