Task 8 Social networking

Had a look at some library My Space accounts.

Topeka and Shawnee Public Libraries.

Loved the video book/video reviews and the library related chats about books but found the "friends" personal ads a little disconcerting. I don't want to know that much about our customers.



Links to "friends" such as authors like Meg Cabot is more worthwhile in the Hennepin County Library

Has some good ads for teen books/videos (links weren't working).

Their blogs try hard but don't attract many comments although this doesn't mean that the promotion is ineffective.



Denver Evolver feels like it fits the target teen audience. It is a bit more creative than the previous two but the others are more like the comfortable library I know.
