Wanted to add a few more thoughts on the advantages of the library using a 'Social Networking' website. I feel that our members and staff alike would benefit from having an online newsletter of sorts to let members know the happenings in the library, links to book clubs (or even run one ourselves, competitions, updates of new policy's, whats going on with the amalgamation of the libraries. It would be a great way of getting feedback from the community as well. Check out how this library uses MySpace for communication with young teenagers http://www.myspace.com/libraryloft. I found this site while browsing through http://www1.curriculum.edu.au/scis/connections/cnetw08/66teens_social_networking.htm a very interesting read on how online social networking facilitates learning in schools and libraries. So much information out there!!!!!! Some examples of libraries using online social networking: http://www.myspace.com/hennepincountylibrary, http://www.myspace.com/utlibraries sorry was unable at this stage to find any Australian Libraries using online social networking.....will keep looking.
