Thing 20: Library and Social Networks

I took a look at Facebook and MySpace. I prefer to work with Facebook. I set up my account and my network. Then I joined the MSB and Library 2.0 groups. I found students at MSB and librarians participating in 23 Things. Also I found participants in 23 Things from Australia. That was interesting. I found a friend from the Mayo Clinic group and I sent her a message. I will check my profile in Facebook more frequently.

This social network as a web tool for libraries is an option to be in contact with the young and teenagers. In addition, it is a way to openly post exchange of ideas between librarians and patrons. Also, librarians can be in touch with colleagues through these social networks.
