Social networks

Facebook and its like could be used to wrap up and showcase just about everything that we have covered over the last 12 weeks.

Library serices, service points and specific library groups (like bookclubs etc) could use it to:
  • blog about how wonderous we are
  • show photos & videos of what we do, what we plan to do, and where and who we are
  • create RSS feeds to share new, up-to-date info
  • link Wikis etc to relevant areas (like homework/assignment help)
  • show our LibraryThing bookshelves for reader advisory
  • help others (both our own public and people far away) by using answer boards to solve challenging questions
  • have podcasts and vodcasts linked in for even more ways to share information
  • create mashups to make it all so very pretty

If of couse Facebook can't show/link to all of these types of things, well it should

Done and cheers
