MLA CE Week 3 - Social Networking Tools

Social networking can be used by MLA to share information among its members. It can provide a virtual place to connect/reconnect members with similar interests.

I think our library should have a FB or MS page to post events, new resources, links to the online catalog and other related services. It is easy and convenient to connect with library users and market library services on these social networking sites.

Individuals may have privacy concerns when using social networking sites. Not everyone is comfortable giving out personal information on the Internet. Cautions should be made when using them either personally or professionally.

All in all, I enjoy my FB experience.
