Librarians are increasingly using social networking for professional purposes. They use tools like Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and wikis to connect with other librarians, stay up to date on new ideas, and discuss challenges and solutions. While only a small percentage of users actively contribute online, their comments influence many others. Librarians are embracing social media because patrons are using it and it allows them to focus on the changing role of libraries.
