Social networking

I feel that social networking can be used in libraries for networking between libraries - organising conferences, meetings and educating staff: they can be used between individual libraries and their borrowers for promotional and reader advisorypurposes but the best use is youth clubs and book clubs. Their are almost unlimited possibilities for librarians with suitable skills.

Google docs

I can see the value in being able to share a document with other parties for informational, developmental and editing purposes. The only disadvantage I can see is a need to be connected to the internet continually.

Wiki

I managed to contribute to the library wiki set up for this course and I was quite proud of myself for succeeding.
