social networking

In order for libraries to network out to new users, libraries need to be where their patrons are. I think the YAAB myspace page shows just that. YAAB is able to reach out to wider variety of teens through the use of friends. Both teens and parents have the ability to find teen events, resources, and great reads. Not to mention the cool posting of things such as the robot videos :)

We must not forget that adults can benefit from a social networking page too. Access to the catalog and databases, events, booktalks, and video clips of library forums would be a couple of things to consider on a library networking page.
