Social butterfly networking

I am already on Facebook, so I have a basic knowledge of this utility. I was interested in looking at Twitter because of the "hype" surrounding it. Wasn't particularly impressed.

In terms of possibilities for our library service, I can see advantages in having a presence on Facebook with a link to our catalogue. I can also see possibilities with online friends of the library via such networks, to promote events and encourage interaction. We could possibly have a book discussion group too. This could work particularly well with young people.

I liked the use of Facebook by IFLA and because I am interested in attending this conference intend to sign up as a friend, so I can keep posted about what's happening without having to do much searching.
