Social Networking sites
I use Facebook as apposed to Bebo or Myspace. It seems to be favoured by South Africans - Myspace seems to have a lot of American support while Bebo has British origins.
But there is no restriction - country bound or otherwise for any of theses social networking sites - you could have a profile on each one if you choose to!
Facebook is used by several professional library groups and to promote library related events
An interesting case study done by the London School of Economics and Political Science exploring the use of Facebook as a tool for libraries and librarians highlights its use as a networking and marketing tool.
Council or at least Manukau CIty LIbraries will have to have another look at their restriction to social networking sites policy. If this provides us with a huge potential to reach new customers, we should have access to these sites.
