Libraries and Social Networking Sites

Well, this week's assignment is to write about what we think about Librarians and Social Networking Sites. This is a tough one for me. I definitely can see their potential for publicizing and marketing library events and programs. On the other hand, I can also see how they can also be too much of a good thing. I don't have time to maintain the friendships I have now. And to be honest, I didn't choose to work in a public library because I wanted to be friends with all of the patrons or extend my social network, so to say. I guess I am still mulling over the whole concept. I'll leave it at that. In the meantime, I am off to create my own MySpace account. Maybe that will change my mind.
