Exercise 5 Social networking

I think it is important for a library to have a social network site whether it be Twitter, Facebook or a Blog site.  I think it is the expected norm by the public to have one.  If a library doesn't have a social networking site it could appear not to be taking part in the new age of technology, not keeping up with the trends.

The sites are an excellent way of getting information out there into the community. 
It is a way of sharing news, upcoming events, activities and ideas.

Also, when spending time on one of these sites, it is amazing what you learn.  You start looking for what you wanted and discover many different and interesting things along the way. 

I loved the NLA site, the YouTube clips on "How do I" is such a great idea to help library users to use the NLA site.  Excellent idea!
