Thing # 20 - Libraries and social networks

I am currently a member of Facebook and have been for a few months. The one group that I am a part of is the Berntsen Library group at Northwestern College. While I have not used the site a whole lot, I do find it useful for keeping up-to-date on events that are occurring with "my friends."

The library has also used Facebook to advertise student-worker parties or library outreach events. Utilizing Facebook to communicate events has worked well. Students at the college regularly check their Facebook accounts and many have attended advertised events through the invitation extended through this medium.
