Three hundred people die from cardiac arrest each day while students go to classes. Furthermore, about 900 people in the United States die from cardiac arrest every day, making it the largest cause of death among Americans. The best way to reduce the number of deaths cardiac arrest claims is to train more people how to give CPR and how to use Automatic External Defibrillators (AED). Teenagers comprise a large group of the population that are often uneducated on these skills. Preparing the next generation through CPR/AED training is quite literally a matter of life and death.

ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom At middle/high school level ... I just wish teachers would catch up with online, subscription tools. At the public library we often encounter the same misunderstanding that database resources aren't "books" or periodicals" even when in full text with complete citations. Digital Literacy Is Knowing How We Store What We Know. It is irresponsible for educational institutions not to teach new knowledge technologies such as Wikipedia." I've seen a lot of cases where people summarily dismiss any use of Wikipedia.
