I've been on Facebook for a couple of months, thanks to Meg Kribble! She created a Facebook group for the NSU Law Library, so I created my profile and uploaded some photos. I recently "became friends" with other NSU librarians, as they created their Facebook accounts. I know from observing the young people in my life that they spend a lot of time each day on Facebook and/or MySpace, so creating library groups is certainly one way to take our services to the users. Whether they are actually looking for information on those sites is a question I'm not sure I can answer!
I read the articles about these social networking sites that were listed on the TLC 2.0 site, and found them interesting. I think time will tell how much we should invest, in terms of staff time and resources, in Facebook or MySpace. For now, it's certainly worth exploring!
