How can libraries use social networking? Ha How can't libraries use social networking?
Social network is reality, people are on facebook and twitter countless times during the day so libraries can and should utilise this. Libraries can have a facebook page that fans can like, they can upload new programs at the library, book signings, workshops etc. By using the power of social networking they can get their message out.
Well week 12 has concluded, I have enjoyed learning 2.0, there were a lot of things I was unfamilar with and feel more confident having done this.

week 11 -online applications and tools
I found google docs easy to use and straight forward, it is unbelievable the amount of free online software that is available to use.
For use in the library I can see this as being useful when two employees are collaborating on something, both people have access to the document and can edit it separately and stay up to date with changes as they occur.
People also have the option to work at home without the need to upload onto a USB.

week 10 -mash ups
Ohh I like this one, so many fun things to mashup. You can create
puzzles with your photos. Make a collage out of pics from the last
month, year etc. Map maker, pop art poster, what fun!
Mash ups could be used in the library through promotional ventures and also through the use of google maps to show then and now, the ever changing world.
My fun jigsaw.

week 9 - podcasts and audio
Podcasts would be a great tool for conducting learning modules in the library, especially to those in rural areas. Lectures, tours, storytime, book reviews. The list is endless!
week 8- answer boards and social searching
Home - Answer Board Librarians
I really like answer boards but like with everything on the Internet you need to filter out the rubbish to find a good answer.
I can see the appeal of asking an anonymous question, there is no face to face so there is that feeling of safety, hiding behind the screen!

Week 7: Tagging, folksonomies, del.icio.us and LibraryThing
http://www.librarything.com/catalog/BreaB
Library thing is yet another tool to extend library services.
I really appreciate the talks and groups, it is a good way for like minded people to connect with each and talk about their findings.
Del.icio.us was interesting and quite useful as well.

Week 6 "online video"
I for one love online video's, youtube is my friend.
I love how Mosman Library is using online videos for all kinds of things from author talks, interaction of media coverage and political activity. Even a customer review. It's a fantastic way of using this technology.
