Social Networking Screencast
Social networking sites share some common features like personal profiles, visible connections between users, and messaging capabilities. However, they also differ in their aesthetics, intended purposes, levels of interaction allowed, and additional applications. When using social networking, libraries should focus on privacy settings and explore how to find relevant updates, see what connections are sharing, and communicate why unfamiliar users want to connect. Social networking offers opportunities for networking, relationship building, understanding patron usage, creating a library presence, and connecting with professional organizations to gain new ideas.
