Investigative Exercise 5 Social Networking

I strongly agree online communities has a great benefit for each of library staff and also as a way for connecting with the users of our libraries. Social networks such as facebook, Twiiter and My Space help us connect with other library staff in our local communities and around the world. This can provide an amazingly rich source of innovative ideas and support. Using online communications people can connect each other sharing their ideas and support. It is fun, less time consuming and great way of doing online conference rather than attending a real meeting!

In libaray, using these tools staff can announce any upcoming programs, discuss an upcoming budget vote, highlight great new resources, hold a book discussion online, ask for feedback on your services, run a trivia contest, provide a weekly list of new titles, answer reference questions and so on.
