- 5. Donât get it? ⢠Itâs ok not to understand why people appear to be living out their lives online. ⢠(Pst... I donât think most social networkers think that they are living some sort of virtual life!)

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Welcome to social networking in a snap. Before I jump into online social networks, I want to quickly talk about social networks. In reality, this should be called, “Online Social Networking in a Snap” since, as librarians, we are already social networking pros, right? Let’s think for a minute about our own social networks. Each of us have throughout the years made friends from the people we went to school with, worked with, people in our communities, etc. This is our real-world social network. Now, just because someone is in our social network, doesn’t mean that we’re very close friends, sometimes they are simply acquaintances, but it doesn’t mean that they aren’t relevant to us.
- It won’t be relevant to many of your patrons, but it might reach a small segment of patrons for whom traditional publicity doesn’t reach. Setting up a social networking page for the library takes a fraction of the time as laying out a single page newsletter.
- Dial-up, short staffed, overworked, funding, etc.
