Last Week Of The Course

Yeah I made it!! So interesting to read about Social Networking Sites and to think about their application in Libraries. Funny to hear that Institutions like Museums and Libraries have personal profiles on Facebook etc. But what a great idea to get us out there and especially amongst the younger generation. I particularly liked the Rotorua Library Page and thought we could do one like that here at Hornsby. The different communities in the Library could advertise upcoming events eg. Children's Pantomine, Author Talks.
The issue of Second Life is another mind boggling idea - again a means to reach the younger generation and advertise our wares. If you think "Ask A Librarian" takes time imagine entering this world regularly to interact with other Avatars...

We're very glad you enjoyed the experience! And you're right - there are a great many ways that libraries can use these ideas.

Keep exploring and having fun.
