The Illinois Library Association (ILA) and MySpace.com have partnered to develop a series of Internet Safety Bookmarks These bookmarks are designed as a series that will help educate youth and parents to make safe and informed decisions online. Each bookmark is aimed at a specific audience including kids, teens, and parents.

The three Internet Safety bookmarks are:

Dealing with Cyberbullies: Tips for Kids
Safe Blogging: Tips for Teens
Social Networking: Tips for Parents

MySpace and the Illinois Library Association provided funding for the printing and distribution of 400 each of the three bookmarks to every public library in Illinois. They were also given out on 2007 Illinois Library Day (April 19) and distributed during the 2007 National Library Legislative Day (May 2) in Washington, D.C.

The bookmark files are available on the ILA website for libraries to download and print locally. In addition, they are available for sale in sets of 100 of each of the three Internet Safety Bookmarks for $6 plus shipping and handling. Visit www.ila.org/netsafe for more information.
