Social Networking

In week 3, I did social networking. It may be used by MLA members for perpetual contact with each other, constant updates on who you know, competitive intelligence, and free publicity. It allows people to be in a community that consists of people far away from each other. A commuinity consists of people who know each other very well, including favorite games, what they are doing on Friday night, and the names of each other's dogs. Social networking allows people to know all that and keep up with each other from a distance. The social networking is free marketing for a library and it is an instructional tool. It is ideal for self paced education on what a library or organization does and people can learn about it. It is also free publicity for the individuals in the community.
