This week I discovered how to use and navigate within Facebook and LinkedIn. Both are very very cool!
I think social networking is a great way to talk about events and happenings within a specific group or company. It is like having your own personal discussion forum. I would consider creating a Facebook page for our library. The one issue we have is these sorts of applications are blocked within our system. I think if it was not blocked, we could use it to reach out to our staff members and the community to help provide the information they are needing. The general public can inquire about our services or send in an information request via one of our pages, and staff would be able to easily connect to our online subscritions and other databases that we subscribe to.
The one thing I didnt care for in facebook or MySpace is the fact that almost anyone can post to your page and I would prefe a bit more filtering.
I think I will be investigating these applications much more thoroughly!! :)
