SOCIAL NETWORKING

Ahhhh, social networking. I do have some experience of this and enjoy the experience.
Back in the mid 90's the only social networking was chat rooms and the like.

Then 10 short years later ..........WOW.
About 18 months ago, while hearing my children .....facebook this and facebook that....well I had to dip my toe into this.

My daughter announced "How cool that you are joined facebook I am proud of you".
Since then I have entered into the games surveys etc. etc.
But unlike my children I have become a bit bored with the thing. So I might go on once a week to see who has been there also.

At our library we have been using a Wiki for some time now to put up ideas for change or suggestions for the library service. Procedures and

I have also noticed the use of twitter and facebook invitations on com. websites inviting people to watch their programs or products and to interact with them in the form of feedback.

This style of interaction could also be used in the libraries for feedback to surveys and suggestions from the public.


The article "Applying a new social media framework" was interesting and gave some room for thought - maybe there are uses in the Library maybe..... will have to think about it.

THANK YOU to the NSWPLN Learning 2.0 Team, for the opportunity to participate in this great programme ! I have learnt much and have impressed the kids on knowing about stuff they thought was only the domain of the X generation.
