Dig the Library, Week three: Can ya dig it? Social networking and libraries

Hello again from the NMLM Committee. We?óÔé¼Ôäóre halfway through this whirlwind staff development course ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ thanks for hanging in there! This week we?óÔé¼Ôäóre exploring social networking and the library?óÔé¼Ôäós Facebook page.

Introduction
Social Networking sites are online communities where people can connect with their friends and discover other people who have similar interests. Often social networking sites have features that allow users to interact with each other through features like photo sharing, chat, messaging, group invitations to events and more. Popular social networking sites include MySpace, Facebook, and Linkedin.

For an introduction to social networking, watch this 3 minute video: ?óÔé¼?ôSocial networking in plain English?óÔé¼?Ø by Common Craft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKcqge8SvzQ

Library applications
The Dental library and Isch?â?® library both have a page on Facebook. Facebook members can become ?óÔé¼?£fans?óÔé¼Ôäó of the libraries, which allows you to leave comments, see events, view pictures, and more.

Dig the Library, Week 2: Dig Smarter with delicious and social bookmarking

Introduction
Think about how you save web pages you visit frequently. Most people are aware of the ?óÔé¼?£Favorites?óÔé¼Ôäó feature on Internet Explorer (or ?óÔé¼?£bookmarks?óÔé¼Ôäó in FireFox). You find a page you want to remember, store it in your ?óÔé¼?£Favorites?óÔé¼Ôäó, and use that whenever you want to visit or remember a favorite website. When you add a page to your ?óÔé¼?£Favorites?óÔé¼Ôäó on a web browser like Internet Explorer, it is stored in your computer. If you use multiple computers you may have different bookmarks saved on different computers.
