Thing 20: Libraries and Social Networks

I had to jump ahead because I'm now an administrator for our library's Facebook page. I joined the group "American Library Association Members" because I am. I'm not sure what that means, though. I can't see where it is on my page. I guess it just means I can go to their page and see posts and comment. Facebook sure is popular with our patrons. They use it on our internet computers all the time. It seems to be quite addicting and a great time sucker. I'm sticking with library friends for now, until I can get comfortable with it. The privacy issues concern me, so I hope I have those setting figured out. DPL just joined Facebook a few months ago and we're figuring out how to best use it as we go along. Fortunately there are others on staff that know more about it than I do.
