Social Networking

Hi,

A question was asked, how can libraries uses social networking? My thought on the question are below.

I feel a library's presence on social networking sites, would be benefitial as a way to advertsing the library to a demographic that doesn't use library services frequently.

The libraries would need to promote the segments of their collections that meet the needs of this demographic such as CD and DVD collections, resources that assist with HSC and University studies, as well as book reviews from the young adult and adult fiction collections that would appeal to teenagers and young adults.

Events that target this demographic could also be promoted through My Space and Face Book.

Cheers
Cheryl
