NIN and ILI for YA

Yeah, I was curious how many abbreviations I could squeeze into that post title.

Anyway, here’s a great idea from Jeff over at Alt Teen Services:

Teaching information literacy skills is an important role for YA librarians. Educating teens about such issues as intellectual property rights, digital rights management (DRM) and the law can often come across as preachy. Fortunately, an unlikely partner can help break the ice with teens on this subject: Nine Inch Nails.

I could be biased — it does help that I really like most of the stuff Trent Reznor does. I cranked up “Closer” on the way from work yesterday. Pretty sure that I scared at least a couple people.
