Dear Customers, Partners and Friends:
According to the U.S. National Crime Prevention Council, 43% of teens have been the victims of cyber bullying in the past year.
To help parents, educators, and others better understand, prevent, and take action against this growing concern, ebrary is pleased to subsidize a collection of open access e-books on cyber bullying and enable other organizations to contribute materials as long as they have copyrights.
Available today at http://site.ebrary.com/lib/cyberbullying, ebrary’s Cyber Bullying Searchable Information Center includes such titles as Click, Click, Who’s Really There?: Protect Your Family from Online Predators, Pedophiles, Privacy Loss and More, by Koh (LHK Publishing, LLC, 2006); Bullying Prevention and Intervention: Realistic Strategies for Schools, by Susan Swearer (Guilford Press, 2009); and Keep Your Kids Safe on the Internet, by Simon Johnson (McGraw-Hill, 2004). It also includes a growing selection of documents uploaded by ebrary employees from authoritative sites including the Pew Internet & American Life Project, U.S. Department of Justice, and other agencies.
ebrary encourages organizations to upload their own relevant materials, right from their computers, with DASH! (Data Sharing, Fast). Interested organizations may email tish.wagner@ebrary.com for a complimentary DASH! account. Customers of Academic Complete, College Complete, Public Library Complete, and Government Complete can get started on their own DASH! collections by emailing dash-support@ebrary.com.
The Cyber Bullying Searchable Information Center is just one of a growing number of open access collections created by ebrary employees and customers with DASH! A listing of additional, freely available collections is provided at http://www.ebrary.com/corp/accessCollections.jsp. If you are an ebrary customer and would like to add any of these collections to your existing channel, please email site-update@ebrary.com.
We hope the Cyber Bullying Searchable Information Center proves to be a valuable resource for better understanding and addressing this important issue. We welcome your feedback at dash@ebrary.com.
Sincerely,
The ebrary Team
