New Technology and Youth Aggression

I caught this online and thought I would share it with you...

A Center for Disease Control panel has written up its findings in the Journal of Adolescent Health concerning electronic aggression by youth. It is in the journal's December 2007 supplement and it is online for free (unfortunately other access to this title is not).

Check out the link here to access it: http://www.jahonline.org/issues

As they say:

"Although many different terms-such as cyberbullying, Internet harassment, and
Internet bullying-have been used to describe this type of violence, electronic aggression is the term that most accurately captures all types of violence that occur electronically. Like traditional forms of youth violence, electronic aggression is associated with emotional distress and conduct problems at school."

Need Updates on Recently Published Journals?

Did you know that you can have the table of contents of recently published journals in your subject area emailed to you?

The library provides this service through the Journals List on the library's homepage. Just set up an account under the My Journals option located at the top of the Journal's List webpage then select the titles you would like emailed to your inbox. This is a great way to keep track of the journals and research areas that interest you.

Another option that can deliver journal table of contents to you are RSS feeds provided directly by the publishers themselves. Have you noticed the list of recently published articles at the bottom of this webpage? That content was added through an RSS feed.

Both of these services are simple to set up and once you have selected the titles you are interested in the information is sent to you directly.

Please contact me for further information on how to use these services.
