Learning 2.0 Week 12 - Wrap; social networks and catch up.

I believe that social networks do have a place in the public library sphere. There exist many opportunities to create networks in many different areas of interests. My library has a number of book groups extended over the various library branches. Each of these groups can create their own social network sites to communicate with each other - within groups and between groups. Another idea is to have a "Friends of the Library" network, where library members can discuss among themselves and with the staff ideas and direction that the library should focus on. Other social networking groups include local studies, children story time and playgroup, family history. All of these different social networks can help promote the library with the broader online community, attracting new users and members. The library can also use these groups to promote its own resources and facilities as well.
