Social Networking

I have been on facebook a few years now and I am a fan of the site- so much so that I moved a newsletter I was doing for our student employees to a group on facebook instead of the traditional paper copy. The group hasn't been as actively used as I would have liked, but there still is possibilities of making it a place where students can always find information they are looking for.

I also have a facebook page with general info about ILL@Augie and a group for my ILL students in the interlibrary loan department, so they can share information back and forth with each other. I think that setting up pages and groups in facebook or myspace is a good idea for libraries because it provides new ways for libraries to reach patrons.
