Review
“Editors Calvert, Jordan, and Cooking have collected an impressive group of contributions to fill the pages of this thought-provoking work....This is a very interesting book. Well researched and well written, many of the chapters point to research that still needs to be completed. As librarians, we need to be aware of not only what technologies children and adolecents are exposed to in a learning enviornment, but also what technologies they embrace for play. This awareness will allow us to plan for the future and make up better prepared to meet the expectations of our patrons.”–College & Research Libraries
