#61 library faces

Libraries have taken Facebook by storm as groups many tools and applications can be found, some are created externally. Libraries Australia and Pub med are good examples the ability to search these in one place may just win me over.
If this tool loses popularity a lot of work may be in vain but I suppose we could migrate to new tools and leave trails check out

#60 Faceoff

Facebook.... OK, its part of the exploration but I like annoyed Librarian can't help but think it could get out of hand. (but think of those door statistics)
I can see if used as a group tool it may be useful, many libraries including our own Boroondara public libraries have a presence that highlights library activities and links to booking sheets etc. It would interesting to check out how many people found out about library events via these social networking sites. Which one to use, or should we be a present on as many as possible, are we trying to be all things to all people? Maintaining links is a challenge in itself to access my RSS feeds to keep up to date could take all morning and then lying waiting are all the standard work emails and we have just scratched the surface of a day.
Can't bring myself to bother with chatter on a personal level on top of this, at some point I must sit out in the sun I promised myself.
