Week 3: Social Networking

Keeping up with all the emails and other library duties keeps me feeling overloaded…I haven’t been convinced that it’s necessary for me to join a social network. If I had lots of family and friends scattered around the country this could be a good way to keep in touch. Mine are close by and we use the telephone. Professional networks sound like a great way for career connections. Successes of other libraries using these as effective tools may convince me and yes they are being used on the college home page. I will have to get some feedback from Student Success personnel. When I hear problem privacy stories in the news, I'm even more reluctant.
