Libraries and Facebook

Libraries and Facebook is a recent study from the University of London’s Libraries and Social Software in Education Project (LASSIE).

The objectives of the study were:

· To investigate the value of Facebook as a professional networking tool for libraries and librarians
· To explore the availability and potential value of library related applications in Facebook
· To make tentative recommendations about how libraries could use Facebook

To-date, over 400 libraries have made use of Facebook pages compared to 65 a few months ago.

I am unfacebooking

I am unfacebooking.

Not that I won’t be on Facebook, just less

There are too many other things I’d rather be doing with my time ….. listening to music, reading more books, taking more photos, and spending more time with my family.

I know I’ve made the right decision.
