Facebook, MySpace, or Friendster, as well as Flickr are some of the popular social networking sites. Libraries can use these tools in following ways:
Librarians can learn from seeing where our patrons hang out online. Just like businesses, libraries can engage in viral marketing, integrating themselves into their patrons’ social networks and using that “in” to promote library services.
Libraries can also play a valuable role as educators, teaching parents, teens, and young adults how to be safe online.
Librarians can sift through the hype and paranoia to give parents solid information about ways to keep their kids safe.
Libraries can use them in positive ways to provide better services to their patrons.
Regards,

Blogs and online social network are two leading web technologies that can be adapted as a part of online services in libraries. Professional can share their ideas with each other on the network.
