Libraryman Defines MySpace

Libraryman ponders how we might define MySpace to folks that aren’t that versed in social software. Take a look:http://www.libraryman.com/blog/archives/000221.html

…Many libraries have recently began creating MySpace accounts as well, in order to show their (often times) younger users that they are a readily available resource to them not just as a physical institution, but as an engaged member of their “electronic community”. These outreach efforts have generally been very successful and well received. As people seek more and more information via electronic means, it important for us to consider how best to meet our users in an effective manner. While creating an institutional account may not be something every library will decide to do, researching MySpace is well advised across the industry.

Well done Libraryman!
