Week 12: Wrap up; social networks and catch up

Electronic social networking has an increasing role in the community's communication. Not just for friends but for any groups with similar interest areas.Perhaps we could put our library on Facebook....?

As seen from the UK Local Govt. site Communities of Practice, social networking for us in libraries allows us to "Connect to Collaborate to Innovate".
I think this is a strength of all of the applications we have been learning about over the past 12 weeks. They are very useful ways for us to share knowledge within the profession, to those we serve and to also advertise and promote the wonderful services we provide.

Oh...about the Second Life Library project, I'm afraid I'm much happier dealing with my First Life Library experience. The Second Life left me dead. Maybe too old but reality is more my thing!

Finally,thank you NSWPLN for the chance to learn more about these new applications and how we can apply them.
