So adding a social networking feature to the library web site would help.<BR/><BR/>Also, participants can learn from each other. Basically, we are chipping in our knowledge to the web-site as a contribution, and sharing knowledge.<BR/>This is the great thing about social networking.<BR/><BR/>Sharing what you know is a great thing!Jack Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01511208473198475417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118403064873127400.post-19813639523874011322008-02-11T13:51:00.000-08:002008-02-11T13:51:00.000-08:00like your definition of web 2.0 (read/write web). it sounds as though you feel social networking fills the needs that lonely people have... do you see any other, perhaps more useful, applications of user-generated sites that may benefit the library and its services?jt okamurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16189449355342271817noreply@blogger.com
