Exercise 5 - Social Networking

Why It Is A Good Idea for a Library to participate on a social networking site

Social networking is a social structure that lets the user interact and work collaboratively with other users, including the ability to browse and search. The technology enables people to connect, and form virtual communities via the computer and/or internet. They provide and encourage the opportunity to interact, share and change resources dynamically in an electronic medium.
They are an ideal environment for people to share what they are learning or to build something together online. This medium allows students to receive feedback from librarians, teachers, peers, parents, and others. Social networking creates a sense of community (as do the physical library and school).
