Privacy Settings in Facebook

I was sent this very easy to read and understand blog article today called "Ten Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know."

But also gives very simple and clear instructions on just how to do that.

It is essentially about a school librarian, but many of the principles and philosophies are relevent to ALL libraries.

Enjoy!
