[Web4lib] MySpace and Public Libraries

[Bret Parker]

I thought someone posted earlier that an 'institutional' presence on
MySpace was now verboten (earlier posting by a university librarian who
said that they were admonished by or eliminated from MySpace) -- Am I
remembering right?

MySpace == A person's space
